  4. Digital Slab layout

    Once you have selected your stone and we have templated your project, our Computer Automated Drafting (CAD) Department takes the digital template and prepares it for the manufacturing process. One part of this process is the digital slab layout. Using their expertise, the CAD Department lays out all areas of your project on a photograph of the actual slab to ensure that we are maximizing the usage of the stone as well as retaining the integrity of the flow of the stone. The digital layout stage allows you to participate in any stone flow design, approve all seam work and view the actual layout in your home. This step ensures that yoDigital slab layoutu are completely satisfied with the look of the stone before it goes into your home.

All the information from the laser templating and digital slab layout is inputted directly into our computer system which is then communicated to our manufacturing equipment.

  6. Quality Craftmanship

    Quality craftsmanshipAfter being fabricated, the stone is then turned over to our highly skilled craftsmen. They diamond polish the edges by hand to ensure the finish on the sides is the same quality of the finish on the surface. Each piece is then inspected to ensure that it meets our standards before being installed in your home.

  7. Installation
