Why does natural stone vary?
A change in colour or pattern is part of natural stone. View the pieces together.
1. Look beyond a small sample
One small piece cannot show the full look of a large area. Compare several of the actual pieces before choosing. Notice how the colour and lines change.
2. Plan how the pieces will sit
Ask which way the pattern will run and how the pieces will be arranged. Compare them with nearby floors, walls or cabinets.
Keep a photo and a written note of the selection agreed with the supplier.
3. Check before ordering
Ask about the actual material, finish and pieces you will receive. Have your installer check any detail that needs technical advice.
Choose from the actual pieces, not from one photo.
General educational guidance. Discuss the actual material, finish and installation with a suitable supplier or installer for your project.
