Custom natural stone countertops:
You can also purchase natural stone slabs that have not been
prefabricated. A fabricator can custom make your countertops exactly to
your specification.
Besides granite you can choose from many different types of
marble, travertine, and limestone. It is important that you understand
that some of these stones might not lend themselves to just any type of
application. Porous stones like travertine & limestone are not good
for kitchen counters because they will stain easily. They make however
beautiful bathroom counters.
There are many different edge details to choose from. You can decide
how thick your edges should be. You can choose whether you want your
stone to have a polished or honed finish. A honed finish is still smooth
but matte. All natural stone surfaces have to be sealed for protection.
This process should be repeated once a year since sealant will wear off
with time.
