Q: A friend told us that using granite countertops in our bath remodel would make the room look “dated.” Is it true that granite is on its way out?

Looking to add sparkle to your seating? Want to add a bit of the exotic to your egress? Or maybe you’re looking for something bold in the bath? Whatever unique statement you might be looking to make, Crystaline Stone can help.

Since it’s made of 93-percent crushed quartz (one of nature’s hardest minerals), the flexural strength of ColorQuartz Stone is four times more than that of natural stone. And since it’s available in a vast array of color choices, it’s the ideal fusion of beauty and strength—making it an excellent choice for virtually any surface, from residential to commercial.

Looking to make a unique statement with a surface that’s out of the ordinary? Come check out our new striking supply of Corteccia Quartzite. A beautiful combination of greens, beige, blues, and even a hint of lilac, Corteccia breaks quartzite’s common color standard, which is usually a very neutral pure grey, beige, and white.

Just like with any new product to any market, Neolith ultra compact surfacing from THESIZE has its share of misconceptions and misconstrued facts. Though it’s touted for its strength, functionality, and versatility, some remain skeptical. Let’s see if we can help separate the fact from the fiction when it comes to Neolith.

Q: I’ve heard there is soapstone that’s quarried in central Virginia. What can you tell us about it? We love the idea of a great domestic product.

This is a question lots of our customers ask. The answer, however, varies from stone to stone. Natural stone comes from all around the world. But, there are a few countries that have developed strong quarry industries.
