NATURAL STONE

About Natural Stone material is quarried from the earth. It is subject to veining and variances including but not limited to color, pattern, shade, particulate structure, surface irregulars, texture irregulars, fissures, pits, or other variances that naturally occur in the stone and are common and to be expected. Slab Viewing Customer will contact their Installer to discuss where to view a larger sample of the Natural Stone they have chosen for their countertop. This in-person or virtual slab viewing is their final chance to confirm and approve their choice of Natural Stone. If they decide NOT to view a larger sample of the Natural Stone, they fully and completely understand that there could be a variance of color, texture, pattern in their installed countertop. How It’s Made Natural Stone is sourced from international quarries. It is a natural resource, so each slab is unique in pattern, design, and color. Natural Stone offers a Limited Lifetime Warranty on the sealant with no need to reseal. Natural Stone Benefits
