Question:
- How are sinks done ?
- Answer:Sinks are either drop-in mount or under mount. Sinks come in a variety of materials, including stainless steel, ceramic and enameled cast iron as well as some synthetics. A cutout needs to be made in the granite to accommodate the sink. The sink will have directions and a template for the cutout. If you are doing your own templates, the sink must be precisely located and the cutout indicated exactly. You must also send the sink template with your plastic templates. You must
have a minimum of 3" and preferably 3 1/2" of granite between the sink and edge for structural integrity.
Question:
- Does Granite stain?
- Answer:Since granite is a natural product, with naturally
occurring variations in color, tone, granularity, pattern, etc. These variations are expected and are the source of its natural beauty. The samples you see will not be the same when compared to the slabs you receive. A sample is piece from the slab, and since granite is a product of nature they ought to differ. Granites such as Absolute Black, Black Galaxy, and a few more are similar through out having no or very little variation. It is always wise to see the slab and not judge it by the sample.
Question:
- What is the difference between First Choice and Commercial Quality?
- Answer:First Choice materials have no visible flaws, are
uniform in character and material thickness does not vary. All materials are filled with epoxy resin where deemed necessary and completed to accepted international standards. Tiles are carefully calibrated, beveled and polished. Commercial Quality materials do not generally meet the visually aesthetic requirements of the retail stone industry. They may have one or more spots, lines, or may have different shading from what is expected by the market. In addition for tiles, an estimated 10% of them also have some minor technical problems such as small fissures, a slightly chipped bevel or a wheel-mark. These materials can be an inexpensive option for flooring needs on low-budget projects.
