Visit Our New Expanded Slab Gallery
Posted by: | Comments
We pride ourselves on our expansive indoor slab gallery and outdoor slab yard, which lets homeowners, designers and builders see the actual slab that will be in their homes prior to fabrication. We even let you lay templates over the material so you know precisely where the veins in a particular piece of granite will line up.
To give buyers even more choice, we’ve just expanded our slab gallery 35 percent to a full 20,000 feet. That means you can stroll the aisles of massive slabs, feeling the material and seeing its true color in an indoor environment. We’ve made way for even more exotic granite materials, the new Cambria Waterstone collection and even Vetrazzo recycled glass countertops.
We stock more than 3,000 slabs and 2,000 remnants at all times. Since we are also fabricators, it reduces the time needed to complete your project. We love to work with Atlanta designers, or you can come in and speak with one of ours to design your dream space.
