Stone, Marble And Granite

Introduction To Articles

We know how important it is for you to properly care for the Natural Stone, Marble and Granite installed in your home. We also know how difficult and confusing it can be to wade through web site after web site as you search for the information you need.

Knowing this, we believe it's important to provide you with information that goes beyond the use of the products we sell. For example, you may be thinking of installing a Granite kitchen countertop. Do you know if the Granite you would like to use will make you happy? You don't want a Marble or Granite that's too absorbent or prone to staining. Nor do you want a stone that reacts adversely to acids, commonly referred to as etching.

Try the Oil and Lemon Juice Test, created by our own stone expert, Maurizio Bertoli. It's simple but effective and will help you make an informed decision BEFORE you have your Granite installed.
