Frequently Asked Questions

Cultured marble is a specific type of cultured stone made primarily from crushed marble and resin, often used for bathroom surfaces like vanity tops and shower walls.

Cultured stone is a broader term that includes materials such as cultured marble, onyx, and granite. All are manufactured to replicate natural stone while offering more flexibility in design, color, and cost.

It is impenetrable, no liquid will permeate the surface and it will not stain. It is also unharmed by acids found in many household cleaners, and does not harbor bacteria like other more porous surfaces.

Most surfaces can be cleaned with mild soap and water or non-abrasive cleaners. Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive pads, as they can damage the finish. Proper care will help maintain the appearance and longevity of your surfaces.

Yes, maintaining material consistency is one of the advantages of cultured products. You can use the same material for vanity tops, shower walls, and tub surrounds to create a seamless, cohesive look throughout your bathroom.

Cultured stone, quartz, and granite are all durable options designed for everyday use. Cultured materials are resistant to stains and moisture, while quartz and granite offer excellent strength and longevity when properly maintained.

Yes, all of our products are custom fabricated to fit your space. We can accommodate specific dimensions, layouts, and design preferences to ensure a perfect fit for your project.

Timelines vary depending on the size and complexity of the project, but once measurements and materials are confirmed, fabrication and installation are completed as efficiently as possible while maintaining high-quality standards.

Granite isn't a particularly porous stone, but, like all naturalstone surfaces, liquid will penatrate if it isn't properly sealed. Your countertop will be sealed after they are installed. Also if a daily granite cleaner is used you may find that you don’t have to re-seal the counters as often because granite cleaner contains some sealer and every time the countertops are cleaned they are also being sealed at the same time. To tell if it is time to re-seal your granite countertops, preform a safe and simple water test. Sprinkle a few drops of water on your granite. If the water beads up, then your seal is probably going to be strong. If the water soaks in and darkens your granite, then it's time to re-seal. Sealing is vital as it creates a barrier of protection around you natrual stone. Same test method applies for all natural stone.

Yes, soapstone is resistant to acids and bases and is impervious to cleaning solutions like Lysol and those containing acids and alcohols. Even the harshest of cleaners used to sterilize surfaces won’t cause any harm or damage to soapstone

Yes, we fabricate and install both porcelain and quartz surfaces. These materials are popular for their durability, modern appearance, and low maintenance, making them excellent choices for countertops, walls, and other applications.

Undercountertops typically refer to surfaces designed to integrate seamlessly with sinks or cabinetry, such as undermount sink installations. We fabricate and install countertops that are precisely cut to accommodate undermount sinks, creating a clean, modern look with easy maintenance.

We recommend to always cut and chop on a wooden or plastic cutting board.

Our process includes measurement review, material selection, fabrication, and professional installation by our in-house team. We handle every step to ensure accuracy, quality, and a smooth experience from start to finish.

Polished granite should receive the same cleaning care as polished marble, preferably using a specially formulated daily granite cleaner or using a mild phosphate-free, biodegradable liquid dish-soap, which contains no aromatics, followed by a thorough rinsing and drying. If you are going to go with just plain soap and water, keep in mind that this can lead to soap build up. This, in turn, may dull your countertop’s finish. We recommend using a prescribed daily granite cleaner. When using a daily granite cleaner, let it sit for about 30 seconds and then wipe it off well using a soft cloth.

Absolutely. Marble is a porous material, which means that any liquids which spill onto the surface tend to leech into the body of the marble. This can negatively affect how your marble will look over time. A sealer, or an impregnator as it is also known, can make sure that any materials remain on the surface of the marble. This is the best way to make sure that your marble retains its original look for as long as possible. Talk to your local outlet about which products to use and how long to leave them before sealing your marble again. Always read the labels of the products you buy, take safety precautions where necessary, and follow instructions carefully.

Nope! This natural stone varies in color, hardness, and purity from deposit to deposit.

The stone will naturally darken unevenly, with time. It will appear more noticeably around the sink and countertop areas (those used more frequently). Leaving soapstone untreated, it will develop a rustic look which many clients prefer. The stone can always be oiled later on if the untreated results are not desirable.

Soapstone is quarried from Brazil, India, Finland, Switzerland, and the USA. Brazil is the #1 producer of soapstone.

Yes they will, however most scratches can be hidden by applying mineral oil. Deep scratches, that are less likely to occur, can be sanded off with little effort and time.

Backsplashes, bathroom vanities, bathtubs, benches, bowls, cooking pots, countertops, fireplaces, fireplace fireboxes, fireplace surrounds, floors, furnaces, lintels, pizza stones, planters, sculptures, shower stalls, sinks, table tops, and window sills. If you can imagine it, you can probably use soapstone.

We recommend oiling soapstone to help the stone darken evenly, and enhance the natural aging process the soapstone goes through. The oil is not a protectant nor does the stone need to be protected.

It's a darker natural stone and comes in shades of grayish to green to blues, and charcoal gray. Random markings include white veining, shades of green, amber or beige in the shape of veins or other formations.
