Frequently Asked Questions
Q: Will my stone look like the sample I see online?
A: Since stone is a natural product, each piece will vary in color, tone, granularity and pattern. These variations are accepted as the basic rhythms of the earth. Because the samples you see on your screen have been scanned and saved with digital software, the color tones may not be absolutely accurate due to variations in computer systems, monitors and software compression.
Q: What is the difference between 3/4" and 1-1/4" thickness material for countertops?
A: Slabs (large pieces of stone) are cut in standard thicknesses of 3/4" and 1-1/4". Both methods are suitable for countertops. The choice is relative to the type of edging you prefer.
Q: How are sinks installed in natural stone countertops?
A: A cutout can be made in the stone to accommodate the type of sink you choose. Sinks typically come with installation instructions and a templat
e for the required cutout.
