How to Choose the Right Stone for Your Project

Selecting the perfect stone involves balancing aesthetics, functionality, and practical considerations:

1. Define Your Application: Consider where the stone will be installed—kitchen countertops require different characteristics than bathroom vanities or fireplace surrounds. High-traffic areas demand greater durability.
2. Assess Durability Needs: Evaluate resistance to heat, scratching, staining, and etching based on expected use. Sintered stone offers superior performance for demanding applications, while certain natural stones excel in specific contexts.
3. Understand Maintenance Commitment: Natural stones typically require periodic sealing and more attentive care, while sintered surfaces are virtually maintenance-free. Consider your preference for ongoing maintenance.
4. Explore Aesthetic Options: Review color palettes, veining patterns, and finish options. Natural stone offers unique, one-of-a-kind character; sintered stone provides consistent, predictable appearance.
5. Consider Budget Comprehensively: Factor in not just material cost, but fabrication complexity, installation requirements, and long-term maintenance expenses.
6. Consult Our Experts: Our design consultants bring extensive experience in matching materials to applications. We help you navigate options and make informed decisions aligned with your priorities.

How to Care for Your Stone Surfaces

Proper care ensures your stone surfaces maintain their beauty and performance for decades:

• Daily Cleaning: Use pH-neutral stone cleaner with a soft microfiber cloth. Avoid acidic cleaners (vinegar, lemon-based products) and harsh chemicals that can damage or etch surfaces.
• Immediate Spill Response: Blot spills immediately—particularly acidic substances (wine, citrus, tomatoes) or staining agents (coffee, oil). Quick action prevents penetration and staining.
• Surface Protection: Use cutting boards for food preparation, trivets for hot cookware, and coasters under glasses. While stone is durable, direct impact or extreme temperature changes can cause damage.
• Periodic Sealing (Natural Stone): Most natural stones benefit from annual resealing to maintain stain resistance. We provide guidance on appropriate sealers and application schedules. Sintered stone requires no sealing.
• Avoid Abrasives: Never use abrasive scrubbers, scouring powders, or harsh chemicals that can scratch polished surfaces or degrade sealers.
• Professional Maintenance: For deep cleaning, restoration, or resealing, consult professional stone care specialists to avoid damage from improper techniques or products.

How to Prepare for Stone Installation

Proper preparation ensures smooth installation and optimal results:

• Clear the Area: Remove all items from cabinets and countertops. Protect flooring and nearby surfaces from dust and potential damage.
• Ensure Access: Provide clear pathways from entry points to installation areas. Heavy stone slabs require unobstructed access.
• Verify Utilities: Ensure plumbing and electrical work is complete before installation. Post-installation modifications can damage stone.
• Cabinet Preparation: Cabinets must be level, properly secured, and capable of supporting stone weight. Address any structural concerns beforehand.
• Plan for Dust: Stone installation generates dust despite mitigation efforts. Seal off adjacent rooms and cover furniture if possible.
• Coordinate Trades: Schedule final plumbing fixture installation, backsplash work, and appliance installation after stone installation is complete.
