Excellent Stone manufactures custom waterjet marble medallions and inlays from finished shop drawings. If you have a reference image or an initial design concept, we can discuss the pattern, stone combinations and customization options before the design is finalized. Natural veining, decorative borders, pattern details and surrounding floor tiles all affect the finished appearance and quotation. O...
Quick Answer Most buyers don't need a brand-new mosaic. They need their range to do one more job. If a Carrara Basketweave already sells and you want a fresh color, ask for green dots instead of black. Same pieces, same layout: a new product with no new cutting. If your customers tile large floors or walls, the same hexagon in 50 mm instead of 25 mm looks calmer and shows more of the marble. That ...
Quick Answer Part of what you pay for in Italian marble is the name. Carrara, Calacatta and Statuario are famous, and clients already trust them. That's worth paying for when a project needs it, but it doesn't buy you stronger stone or better finishing. Chinese marble usually costs less because of the material, the grade and lower processing costs, not because it's weaker. And Italian marble is cu...
Quick Answer Compare marble and cast stone one column at a time, and cast stone usually wins on price. For a facade full of identical cornices and balusters, it should. But that comparison treats a column as a shape, and cast stone can copy a shape. It can't copy the stone. Inside, a green or veined marble column can come back in the floor border, around a doorway, along the skirting. That's what ...
Quick Answer Can sintered stone be used for outdoor kitchen countertops? Yes, if the slab is made for exterior use. Sunlight won't discolor it the way it can ordinary quartz, and the slab surface generally needs no sealing. But surviving the weather doesn't make a countertop good to work on. On an open patio, a dark polished top can glare and get too hot to touch. So for an outdoor kitchen range, ...
Quick Answer Sintered stone is familiar as a flat countertop or wall panel. A rounded reception desk, wrapped column or shaped basin asks the surface to do something different: follow a change in direction. Can sintered stone do that? Yes—suitable products can be formed into curves through specialist hot-bending processes. But first, identify what “curved” means in the design. A ...
Quick Answer Ask people who own sintered stone and you'll hear that it chips. Ask the people selling it and you'll hear it's almost indestructible. They're both right. They're just talking about different parts of the slab. The surface is very hard to damage. The edges are brittle, and a hard knock on a corner can take a piece out. You can't change that, but you can decide where it matters: how th...
Quick Answer Sintered stone fabrication is the work done after a slab is manufactured: cutting, drilling, edge finishing and joining it into countertops, sink surrounds, waterfall panels, wall panels and furniture tops. The material is hard but can chip at cut edges and crack from sharp internal corners, so clean results depend on tooling made for the material, continuous water cooling, support on...
Quick Answer Switch from granite or quartzite to sintered stone for the look, not for performance. Sintered stone offers far more colors and patterns, including rare looks at a more affordable price, and it needs no care. But it is no harder or more heat-resistant than a good natural stone, its edges chip more easily, and it can't be refinished. Keep granite if you want granite's own look, and cho...
