The Process

The journey that your granite countertop takes to get to your kitchen and bath is a very long and labor intensive road.  This page will give you an idea of the many steps that are required to transform a deposit of stone in the earth to a stunning countertop in your home.

From the Quarry to your Kitchen
Custom Cabinets, Custom Granite, Custom Tile, Wood Flooring
Large blocks of granite are quarried from deep in the ground or from the side of a mountain.  These quarries are located all over the world in countries such as India, Brazil, China, Norway, Saudi Arabia and Finland.  We import our stone directly from these countries.
Complete Kitchen and Bath Design, Fabrication & Installation
Dynamite and huge diamond saws are used to cut the blocks from the quarry.

Blocks are transported from the quarry to the factory by truck or rail.  Some blocks weigh as much as 25 tons!
Custom Kitchen Cabinetry
At the processing factories, blocks are cut into slabs in this huge diamond saw, much like a giant bread slicer.  It can take an entire day to cut one block.
 
   
 Custom Built Granite, Marble Bathrooms, Custom Cabinets
Here is the block cut into slabs.  A Block will yield approximately 45 to 50 - 1-1/4" slabs.

Sanding and Polishing Granite
Each slab is then sanded, polished and resined to bring out its unique color and pattern.  Resining the slab helps to fill small natural pits and fissures in the slab and helps give the slab a smooth, mirror-like finish.  Resining also helps make the slab less porous.  Finished slabs are then packaged and shipped in shipping containers by ocean, rail and truck to our warehouse in Nashville.

   
 Granite Kitchen Islands
Once the slabs arrive in our warehouse in Nashville, we carefully inspect each slab before putting them on display in our slab warehouse.  Customers will  come by our indoor warehouse of granite slabs to pick out their stone.  We have over $1,000,000 of granite slab inventory in stock from all around the world for you to choose from.
Custom Kitchen Cabinetry
A Wholesale Granite Warehouse salesperson will help you pick out the perfect stone for your project and will help to estimate your project.
 
   
 Granite Kitchen Islands
A Wholesale Granite Warehouse templater will come to your home to template your countertops.  We template all our countertops using state-of-the-art digital templating machines that are faster and much more accurate than traditional templating by hand.
Custom Kitchen Cabinetry
Templates are then cut on our plotter and the customer is encouraged to come in and layout the templates on the slabs to let us know their preferences.  This is important to gauge color and vein matching.
