FAQ SECTION

WHAT APPLICATIONS CAN I USE STONE IN?

Stone slabs and remnants which include, granite, quartz, marble or soapstone can be used for many different applications such as, kitchen countertops, islands, vanities, makeup stations, bar areas, fireplace surrounds, laundry rooms, back splash on a wall in a kitchen, accent wall or shower walls and tub surrounds, shower shelves, wall shelf’s, or take it outside to an outdoor living space or kitchen. 

However, quartz is not recommended for outdoor use and some granite may not be used in various applications as well as others due to the breakage and flaking from the high content mica or feldspar.  Be sure to ask your sales representative if the stone you are choosing fits for the application you are wanting to use it for.  

Stone can be used in variations such as, stone countertops in the kitchen and then add a butcher block wood island or cutting board space next to the stove.  Natural Stone used with other natural resources such as wood can be striking.  Backsplash from your stone slab or remnant is beautiful with tile or mosaics.  Houzz and Pinterest have thousands of ideas for use of backsplash.
