There is nothing quite like the look and feel of a home you’ve customized. From the paint to the décor to the furniture, everything in your home expresses a sense of, well, you; and your flooring and countertops should be reflected in the same manner. Various natural stone slabs are a popular option in Toronto for creating that custom piece in your kitchen, living room, bathroom, or hallway. Natural stone slabs scream "style and class” without leaving your bank account screaming too. By choosing from the various natural stone slabs found in Toronto showrooms, you can take home a piece of individual style that will forever be unique to you.

 

 

We’ve all been in the stores or studios that claim a piece of furniture or art can be tailor-made to your individual tastes, only to find out the associated fees are astronomical considering what the product is. Commissioning an artist or designer to create a truly unique pattern can be costly, and there is never truly a guarantee that it can’t be duplicated in the future. Natural stone products, however, have the solution.

 

With natural stones such as granite and marble, colour variations due to mineral composites and other factors make each and every piece a unique and one-of-a-kind treasure. As these colour veins and refractive crystals are formed one hundred percent naturally, there is no chance that they will occur the same way again, leaving you with a truly stunning piece of stone which can suit and express your individual style. Lasting far longer than wood or linoleum, granite and marble flooring or countertops are investments which continue to pay off dividends for a lifetime.

 

 

If you’re wondering just how long marble and granite can last in your home, you need only look to history for the answer. For thousands of years, sculptors and builders have used these materials in some of the most famous structures and pieces of art in the world. One of the most well-known examples would be the domes on the Taj Mahal, which are made of marble and have kept a roof over the palace for nearly 400 years. Now that’s longevity!

 

Granite is in fact one of the hardest stones on Earth, and being non-porous, it is impenetrable to stains and virtually impervious to wear and tear. You probably shouldn’t test out your meat-tenderizing mallet directly on your granite countertops, but you probably could. Non-porous stones also make clean-up a breeze, with little more than a lightly soaped cloth needed to give it a sparkle and shine while wiping away all the germs.
