Granite
Natural Stone Surfaces.
Only theEarth can create a look this unique.Natural stone surfaces such as granite, marble,
onyx and travertine are some of today’s
premier countertop choices for their
appearance and durability. The organic
character of these stones makes the finished
countertop uniquely beautiful, with variations in
color and markings, often within the same slab.
At Florida Custom Marble, granite is far and
away our best-selling natural stone surface.
Quarried in the mountains of Italy, Brazil, the
U.S. and beyond, granite is available in a
striking array of colors. Its durability makes it
the perfect choice for kitchen countertops and
other heavily used surfaces. Granite is also
nearly impossible to scratch and, with proper cleaning, will not stain under normal use. And unlike many synthetic surfaces, granite is resistant to heat.
Quality
We utilize the most advanced fabrication processes available on the market. Our shop is one of only a few fabricators in Northeast Florida to implement CNC (computer numerically controlled) machinery for granite processing. Why are these machines so important? Without them, all of the fabrication would have to be done by hand. It's a slow and tedious process, which requires more labor. The cost of hand fabrication is much higher because more people and time are needed to complete the job. So, what most fabricators do to save time is the so called "dry-cutting". In essence, they do not use water to polish the stone. Not using water results in a low quality finish on the edges of the stone. The edges look dull and once you swipe your hand along the edge, you will feel bumps and unevenness. With CNC technology, these problems are gone. Our machinery always uses water, and since it is controlled by a computer, it follows the line of the edge perfectly, keeping constant pressure on the stone. That guarantees smooth, shiny edges without the bumps.
Customization
Granite as a natural stone has a very varied look, just like our customers' design ideas. We want you to be completely satisfied with your purchase, and so we allow you to customize your countertops to a degree that none of our competition can.
Choosing the color of granite for your countertops is not enough. Sometimes slabs can vary in color and pattern, even within one batch, so we want you to pick the very slabs that we'll use for your project. After we template your cabinets, you can come back to our shop and align them on the slab and choose what parts you want to use. Want to keep that colorful vein on the countertop? Or maybe you want to put your sink cutout where the darker spots are? It's all possible with
Florida Custom Marble.
