Stone is a product of nature.

Colors of the stone are specific to the part of the world they originate based on the minerals in the earth through mining. Blocks are removed from the quarry mines and then cut into slabs.

Each stone is made up of different materials having different hardness. All polished stone surfaces have a varying degree of pits. Pitting does not make a specific stone less desirable or an inferior product. Pitting is considered a natural characteristic of stone, based on industry standards.

Granite is a product of nature, possessing unique characteristics. Size of slab may be a limiting factor to a particular selection and will determine where seams occur on a specific project.

The slabs are processed with the desired surface finish and transported to fabrication shops throughout the world. At the fabrication shops the stone slabs are fabricated to desired specification based on each individual project.

Chips at edges or corners may be filled, provided that the structural integrity of the stone is not affected. The fill is matched to the color and finish of the stone so as not to distract from the stone's appearance. The fill color is permanent and will match the color and finish.

To have a successful installation of countertops, cabinets must be installed on a true plane and level within 1/8" inch in a 10' foot run. All areas that are to receive stone must be stable and rigid.

Overhangs greater than 10" inches need to be supported. Support structures need to be firmly secured. These support structures may be legs or brackets and supplied by others.

Abutting stone pieces form joints that are to filled with a two-part colored epoxy. Seams are to be the same width the entire length of the seam.

It is highly recommended that you pick out your stone for your specific project. Choosing a slab is as individual as you are. Each slab has its own unique markings, patterns and veining that are specific to each individual slab. Call to set up your appointment with a sales representative at your convenience.
