Frequently Asked Questions About Stone Selection
How do I choose between marble, quartzite, and limestone for my project?
Each stone type has distinct characteristics. Marble offers classic beauty with its distinct veining but requires more maintenance. Quartzite provides similar aesthetics with greater durability. Limestone delivers a more uniform, subtle appearance perfect for creating calm, elegant spaces. Our experts can help you weigh these factors based on your specific needs.
What should I look for when examining stone slabs in person?
Color consistency, veining patterns, visible fissures, and overall surface quality. View the stone under different lighting conditions, as natural light can reveal characteristics not visible under showroom lighting. Our experts can help you examine stones properly in our showroom.
How much extra material should I order for my project?
We typically recommend ordering 15-20% extra material to account for cuts, breaks, and future repairs. For more complex installations or stones with significant veining that requires matching, we might suggest ordering more. Our team of experts can provide specific recommendations based on your project details.
