Granite, marble, limestone, slate.....
Which natural stone will you use? Where will you use it?

Stone isn't just for countertops. It's used inside of our homes and in the restaurants where we eat. It's used on the exteriors of commercial buildings and for the headstones of our loved ones. Natural stone is used for fireplaces, flooring, sinks, bars, accents.... If you can imagine it, you can use stone.

It's unique in color, texture, durability, and porosity. The colors vary from the softest pinks to fiery reds. The purest whites to deep ocean blues. Dark emerald greens to jet blacks. The patterns can be soft and subtle or they can be BOLD ATTENTION grabbers. Some stones, such as granite, work best for countertops. Others are more ideal for flooring.
