Our Natural Stone Installation Process
Working with natural stone demands expertise. We follow strict industry standards to ensure a perfect result.
Material Inspection: We carefully inspect and sort the stone prior to installation to ensure an aesthetically pleasing blend of natural color variations.
Subfloor & Surface Prep: Natural stone is heavy and rigid; we ensure the substrate is perfectly level and reinforced to prevent cracking.
Precision Cutting & Placement: We use specialized wet saws to cut the stone cleanly and place it meticulously to maintain consistent grout joints.
Sealing & Protection:
Because natural stone is porous, we apply high-quality sealants to protect against moisture, stains, and daily wear.
