A few variables here. depending on the type of stone you are polishing and the color of that stone. If you are polishing a white marble, best to only go to about an 800 grit, or switch to sand paper. Also If you are dry polishing, make sure you have the dry polishing pads. If you have further questions I suggest calling us, and asking for Blake, he will get you dialed in on your polishing job.

Can I use marble on my countertops?
Yes! Marble, limestone, and travertine are calcium-based materials, which means they are acid reactive and will etch when exposed to common household products like lemon juice, vinegar, and wine in the kitchen, or some shampoos, hair dyes, and skin care products in the bathroom. They can absolutely still be used, and many homeowners love the fact that these materials will change over time, even with proper care. However, you should think carefully, before choosing one of these materials, about whether you want to live with both the maintenance and patina.

Do you carry quartz?
Yes. We are the regional distributor for Viatera by LX Hausys. You can browse the available quartz colorways here.

What&#;s the difference between granite and quartz?
Granite is a naturally occurring stone. It&#;s dense, durable, and non-reactive to acids or heat, and is therefore a popular choice for homeowners who want a low-maintenance countertop. Granite still requires sealing, but less frequently than marble or limestone. Quartz, on the other hand, is a manmade material, made of resin and crushed up stone. You can&#;t seal quartz and must be careful not to place hot pans directly onto a quartz slab&#;s surface. 

Can I cut directly on my granite countertops?
Because granite is so hard and dense, cutting directly on your granite countertop won&#;t harm the stone, but it can dull your kitchen knives. Take caution for your knives&#; sake. 

What is quartzite? Is it the same as quartz?
Quartzite is a natural stone. It&#;s denser than granite and has a similar durability. Quartzite is not the same as quartz, which is a manmade material. 

My fabricator told me I need book matched slabs. What does this mean?
A block of material is put on a large saw at the factory and cut into slabs (similar to a loaf of bread being cut into slices). Slabs are cut and numbered in a systematic order (1,2,3, 4&#;etc.). Book matched means that the first slab in a block is polished on the back side, and the next slab back is finished on the front side, this gives you 2 slabs that are a mirror image of one another, like and open book. If book matched slabs are laid out end-to-end, the pattern continues from one slab to the next with no break in the pattern. 

Can I hand-select my slabs?
Yes, we highly recommend hand selection, particularly with movement materials. A fabricator can put material on hold on your behalf, but we strongly encourage you to come in to view the material and select the slab(s) personally. Please note: We only move slabs during the week. On Saturdays, you are more than welcome to browse the visible slabs, but we recommend visiting Monday &#; Friday to hand-select.

In natural stone, what are the different finishes I&#;ll find?
The most popular finishes for slabs are polished, which creates a shiny, smooth surface, honed, smooth and matte, and antiqued (also known as &#;brushed&#; &#;leathered&#; or &#;satin&#;), which is matte with some surface texture. In tile, you&#;ll also find tumbled finishes, a very rustic look with rounded edges and corners. Less frequently, you might also see sandblasted, flamed, and chiseled finishes. 

Is honed stone less durable than polished?
A stone&#;s finish is only topical, meaning that the durability of the stone itself isn&#;t impacted by the finish. 

What are the differences between 3cm (1 ¼&#;) and 2cm (¾&#;) slabs?
There is no difference in the durability of one thickness over the other. The choice of thickness is personal/fabricator preference. The cost of the 2cm material is less, but the labor can be more because the most preferred edge details require a laminated edge. The cost for 3cm material is more since you are getting more material, but the cost for labor may be less because a laminated edge isn&#;t necessary to achieve the typically desired look. Usually, the cost between the two thicknesses FINISHED, is comparable. Sometimes you will need one thickness or the other due to a weight issue or the way an existing cabinet is set up. 

How big is a slab? How much can a slab weigh?
In natural stone, there is no &#;typical&#; slab size. However, generally speaking, hard stones like granite and quartzite will be larger than soft materials like marble or limestone. Weight depends on thickness. At approximately 13 pounds per square foot, the average 2cm slab weighs 600-700 pounds. At approximately 20 pounds per square foot, the average 3cm slab weighs - pounds.

How are slabs cut?
Huge blocks of stone are excavated from the earth and hauled to manufacturing locations, where they are cut by a series of large saws. They are then finished and shipped to us by boat.

Why is there a glue-like residue on the edges of marble and granite slabs?
A coat of epoxy resin is either rolled on by hand or applied by high tech machinery, then heated to harden. The slabs are then sent through a series of diamond and synthetic abrasive lines that remove 99% of the resin, leaving a highly polished product virtually free of defects. This enables consumers to have colors of stone not available in years past, as well as a product unmatched by man-made solid surface products. 

Where do you source your material?
Our natural stone slabs come from all over the world, but much of our stock originates in Italy, Brazil, and India. 

What if I see a slab on your website that I like, but it isn&#;t in stock? How long does it take for new material to come in?
It depends on what part of the ordering process we&#;re in, and where the material originates. We&#;re constantly sourcing material, so there&#;s a chance what you like is already incoming (check here to see which natural stone slabs are on the way). Typically, it can take anywhere from 45-120 days for us to import a new container.
