CaesarStone

CaesarStone is an engineered stone that we have been selling.  It has many of the same characteristics as granite.  Such as the durability of the stone.  You can place hot items directly on the counter top, it does not chip or crack easily, and it is easy to clean.  However, one of the disadvantages of the stone is the lack of natural beauty.  BUT, movement and lack of control is not for everyone.  In the larger cities CaesarStone is dominating the markets due to its contemporary characteristics.  CHECK IT OUT!

Why Granite

What are the benefits of using granite?  Granite has been around since the beginning of time, and has proven to be a durable surface.

Here are a list of the benefits of granite:

  • Natural Beauty- Every stone is different
  • Does not stain
  • Can cut directly on it- No need to use a cutting board
  • Easy to clean
  • Resistant to heat- Food can go straight from the oven directly to the counter

Granite is used throughout many restaurants due to durability.

  • Use cleaners that are made for natural stone- We have some available here.
  • When using soap and water, soap build up can occur
  • Do not use and acidic or abrasive cleaners-like ammonia

These are basic care tips for your granite.  If you purchase your granite from Italian Marble & Granite we can offer a care package.  Please call for details

Home Show

Now that the home show is over, it would be great to get an idea of what everyone thought.  Roughly 30,000 people attended this years event, and I am assuming everyone has an opinion.  Even if it is just the layout of the home show, favorite house, or the latest trends that can be seen throughout the event.

Many of the houses were patio homes, which is becoming very popular.  If people are not aware there is a tax advantage of owning a patio, which is roughly a 40% tax break.  So I am curious as to everyone opinion on the event.
