01

SELECT THE SLAB.

Now, when you got a satisfactory quote, it’s time to select your slab. We offer a variety of beautiful, natural stone slabs to our clients, each of them unique, with an inimitable pattern and color shade.

This is the reason we invite you to our showroom to personally select the material that will inspire you. We can guarantee that your kitchen or bathroom will look stunning.

02

MEASUREMENTS.

When making measurements of your countertops, Granite Depot professionals use modern, high-precision tools only, such as LT-55 XL Laser Templator. After the measurements are done, the template proceeds to our manufacturing facilities. The tool provides accuracy up to 50 ft, +/- 1/16’’, and is the guarantee that your countertops will be cut precisely and fit in every curve and nuance of your home’s surface.

03

MANUFACTURING.

The first thing we make sure of is that your personalized layout perfectly matches the veins of the stone you’ve selected. After that, your slab is cut with a Bridge Saw Machine according to the precise measurements made prior.

This technology allows us to achieve invisible seams and flawless cutouts for sinks and household appliances and to avoid hand measuring and cutting on the spot, which can result in gaps and undesired edging. The product we bring to your home is ready for installation, and there is no place for mistakes.

04

COUNTERTOPS INSTALLATION.

This is the last step of your remodeling process. Our team of experienced professionals is fully responsible for the result from its very beginning to the successful end. We’ve been installing natural stone countertops for 11 years already, so any errors are absolutely excluded.

First of all, we schedule an installation appointment with you for the time that suits you best. Please keep in mind that the installation process takes only a couple of hours.

When we arrive, we start the installation process by covering the top of your base cabinets with plywood, which has 2 functions: support for the slab and protection from dust and dirt for the furniture. After that, we lift, transport, and set your up to 770 pounds of stone in place on an adhesive underneath, using a modern lift system. This means safety for both people and your place, and the process requires fewer people being involved.

The last step is to install the sink, caulk the edges, fill the seams, as well as clean and polish the stone. Now the whole surface is waterproof and shiny.

Will my granite look like the online sample?

Granite is a natural stone, hence its color, tone, granularity, pattern, and other variations are different at each slope. These emphasize the natural beauty of the stone. We use high-end photography and editing technologies to pick up the most suitable slabs, resembling the online images, but we suggest you look at the samples. They will give you a better idea of what your countertops will look like.

Can I cut food directly on a quartz countertop?

Quartz is a very tough and durable material, resistant to cuts and scratches unlike natural stone, so of course you can cut food on it, just don’t do this too often. We would still recommend using a cutting board on your quartz countertops, especially when working with raw meat, to keep them looking perfect for as long as possible. The ability to resist scratches and slicing damage to the countertops doesn’t mean quartz countertops are damage-proof, nor that the marks can’t be seen at all.

What is the difference between quartz countertops and granite?

Both stones have their pros and cons. Review their features to make a choice. Although quartz countertops are strong, durable, flexible, don’t need special maintenance, and the color patterns are consistent among slabs, they have some weaknesses, such as low resistance to heat and prolonged exposure to the sun. In its turn, granite is 100% natural, thus unique and beautiful, much more resistant to chemicals than quartz and resistant to heat. You can easily put a hot pan on it, however, we’d advise against doing so recurrently.

What are the quartz countertops pros?

Being one of the most popular stone materials used for kitchens in the US, quartz shares its dominating position on the market with granite only. The pros: stronger stone due to the 7% of polymer resins, ensuring its non-porous and almost 100% bacteria-free surface; the slope is customizable – you can choose the pattern you like, evidentiate some parts of the stone crumb and hide others; easy to maintain – unlike granite or marble – quartz countertops require just basic cleaning and have a non-porous surface, making it impossible for bacteria to survive for a long time.
