FAQ
How do I choose stone color?
When choosing a slab at the stone yard, every stone will look beautiful. Bring your finish samples to direct with your color choice. The warehouse will be especially cold during the winter, because the slabs give it off. If the stone is kept outside, you must reschedule if it rains. The stone will look darker when wet. Call ahead, some don’t allow children under 18.
Will my counter have seams?
Granite slabs can vary in size – blue colored stones are rare, and are smaller in size. Green slabs are more common, are less expensive and come in bigger sizes. Slabs are approximately 60″ tall x 110″ long. If there must be a seam, determine seam location before finalizing the cabinet layout. If you do not want a seam on your island, and most people don’t, then choose a large enough slab, or cut back on the island size.
How long until the installation after the template?
It will depend on several factors – Have your slabs been delivered to the fabricator from the warehouse? When can you view the templates on your actual stone slab? You should view your slabs with your templates to ensure how the finished product will look. Typically fabrication takes 7 – 10 business days, but allow for extra time if there is an upcoming holiday.
What type of finishes are available?
There are 3 types: Polished, honed, antiqued.
Polished granite is the typical finish that you see.
Honed granite describes when a buffer is run along the entire top to remove the shine of the polish. This look is perfect for a reproduction kitchen in an antique home. There are slabs that are readily available with this finish, honed at the quarry with overhead machines. Some fabricators can hone the stone that you select with buffers by hand.
Antiqued finish, or leather finish, refers to an uneven honed surface. This surface is only applied at the quarry, so the selection is minimal. However, you will be able to review your exact material prior to purchasing.
