Materials, side by side

Every stone behaves differently in a kitchen. Here is the short version of what we tell people at the slab yard.

  1. Marble

    Calcite · Mohs 3–4

    Good for Bathrooms, fireplaces, baking stations

    Know this Etches with lemon and vinegar. Many owners like the patina; some don't.

  2. Quartzite

    Metamorphic · Mohs 7

    Good for Busy kitchens that want the look of marble

    Know this Hard to cut, so lead times can run longer. Seal once a year.

  3. Granite

    Igneous · Mohs 6–7

    Good for Kitchens, outdoor kitchens, heavy use

    Know this Takes heat well. Patterns vary a lot slab to slab — pick yours in person.

  4. Soapstone

    Talc-rich · soft

    Good for Farmhouse kitchens, sinks, hearths

    Know this Darkens with mineral oil and scratches easily, but scratches sand out.

  5. Quartz

    Engineered · resin bound

    Good for Consistent color, low upkeep, rentals

    Know this No sealing needed. Keep hot pans off — resin can scorch.

  6. Porcelain slab

    Sintered · 6–20 mm

    Good for Thin profiles, wall cladding, outdoor sun

    Know this The pattern is printed on the surface, so edges are usually mitered.

02

Pick an edge

Drawn in section, at actual proportion for a 3 cm slab. Ask for a sample piece when you visit.

EasedSquare with a softened corner. The default for most kitchens.
BevelA 45° cut on the top edge. Catches the light.
Half bullnoseRounded top, flat bottom. Kind to hips and kids.
Full bullnoseFully rounded. Traditional, and good for bar tops.
OgeeAn S-curve profile. Best in classic, detailed rooms.
Mitered apronTwo pieces joined at 45° so the slab reads thick.

From slab yard to sink cut-out

Typical timing for a kitchen.

  1. Week 0

    Pick the slab

    Walk the yard with us or send the name of the slab you saw at a supplier. We tag the one you choose so nobody else cuts it.

  2. Week 1

    Template on site

    Cabinets go in first. Then we measure with a digital templater and mark sink, cooktop and seam locations with you in the room.

  3. Week 2

    Layout and cut

    We lay the template over a photo of your slab so you can see where the veins fall before the saw touches it.

  4. Week 3

    Install

    Usually one day. We set, level, seam and seal, then cut and polish the sink and faucet holes in place.

  5. After

    Care sheet

    You get a one-page care sheet for your material, and we come back for any seam or chip touch-up.

Before you call

A quote is faster when you have:

  • A rough sketch with lengths, or the cabinet plan
  • Sink and cooktop model numbers
  • Whether old tops need to be removed
  • A material in mind, or two you're torn between
Do you sell slabs, or only fabricate?

Both. You can choose from our stock or buy a slab from a supplier and have it delivered here for cutting.

How many seams will my kitchen have?

It depends on slab size and the shape of your layout. We show seam locations on the layout before cutting, and you approve them.

Can you reuse my old sink?

Usually, if it is undermount-ready and in good shape. Bring the model number to templating.

What happens to the offcuts?

Larger remnants can become a vanity, a shelf or a cutting board. Ask before install and we'll set them aside.

Do you work outside the city?

We install within about an hour's drive.
