FAQ

Natural stone is held in high regard as a premier building material because it reflects unique character, stability, and grandeur. Variations in natural stone’s broad range of colour, pattern, and texture are visually interesting and impossible to replicate. And, because it comes from the earth, from eco-friendly compositions, it is a natural choice.

Although both are stones and both are quarried from the earth, granite and marble (and marble’s relatives - limestone, onyx and travertine) are very different from each other. The greatest difference lies in the porosity, softness and durability of marble when compared to granite.

Availability, locations of quarries in the world (due to transportation expenses), the rarity of the colour, and the amount of labour required to extract the stones all affect the price of natural stone. Higher price doesn't mean higher quality.

Take care of your natural stone, and it will last for generations.

You’ll appreciate that natural stone requires minimal care. The old rule of thumb is never to use anything you wouldn't use on your hands. Simply use warm water or neutral PH cleanser. Never use acid-based cleanser, chemicals or abrasive on your stone.

Two things sell homes: bathrooms and kitchens. Based on the National Housing Market,the paybacks for remodeling jobs done on bathrooms and kitchens is over 90% of your investment.If you are trying to sell any upscale home that has existing laminate or tile tops, you will likely hit resistant buyers;installing new natural stone countertops will be a lasting investment that you can enjoy now and get your resalevalue much later.

Granite is highly resistant to scratching, cracking and staining, and is impervious to heat. Daily kitchen activities pose no problem and it can take a hot pot without the use of a trivet. This makes granite an ideal choice for countertops.

Granite is one of the hardest stones available. It cannot be scratched in ordinary use and will actually dull knives. The only materials that can scratch granite are tools designed specifically to cut it, such as those made of diamond or tungsten. Chipping only occurs when granite is severely abused with impact tools, like a hammer. If that happens, the chip can be filled with a mixture of granite dust and epoxy. Granite does not burn with ordinary use and is highly stain-resistant. A few colours, however, do absorb moisture with prolonged contact.

In general No but it also depends on the materials. In fact, granite countertops can be less expensive than many other solid surface materials. The price will vary by square foot, depending on the color you select as well as the edging detail. But remember, a granite counter will last forever and be completely unique to your kitchen—it’s a truly durable, scratch-resistant, and beautiful investment.

Marble has been used for thousands of years. Many marble statues and buildings have outlasted the cultures that built them. A simple, regular maintenance program will keep marble looking beautiful for the life of your home or commercial project.

Yes, marble is a durable material that can be used for kitchens, but the look and the required maintenance are not for everyone. Marbles are calcium-based materials and are therefore susceptible to etching, staining, and scratching.

Fortunately, most damage that can be done to marble surfaces can also be undone. We have wonderful craftsmen who specialize in the restoration of stone surfaces and we do provide service for marble polishing to help remove scratches, or a poultice to penetrate the marble and help lift out stains. Be careful, however, to never seal a stain into your stone.
