With some of the fastest turnaround times and exceptional service in the industry, you have to ask, “is my contractor using Dimanti Stone Works?” Our Staff takes the time to answer all the questions our customers have about selecting the right stone for them. “We enjoy educating the consumer,” The following are tips for choosing and caring for your stone:" Granite is magma rock and is the hardest of all building stones with a very close grain that makes it almost impervious to staining and uniquely applicable for any interior use. Its high-gloss finish will endure in the harshest environments. Marble is re-crystallized limestone that is dense. It takes on an excellent polish and is available in a wide range of colours, patterns and veining. Quartz is a “man-made” material. It is usually comprised of 90-94% natural quartz aggregates, one of nature’s strongest elements, with the balance of the material consisting of color pigments and polyester resins that allows for an extremely uniform look. Pick your own slab. Customers, wholesalers and designers are always welcome to visit our shop and area warehouses to view our available inventory and to get additional design ideas. Especially with the varied pigmentation and patterns available with granite and marble, we encourage personal slab selection on stones that have a lot of movement or unique coloring. Know what type of edging you want. At DSW, the standard finished edge profile included in all base pricing is an "eased and polished" straight edge. While a straight edge profile can maximizes the bold appearance and quality, Dimanti also offers other edge profile to compliment the style of your home. What about seams? Most large granite installations will require seams. During layout and design Dimanti will always try to minimize and custom colour match the number of seams required. How do I clean my stone? It’s important to care for your investment properly. Maintenance of granite surfaces is easy and can be done with everyday household cleaners. For occasional deep cleaning or to bring back any lost luster, polish preserver is a good choice. Marble is more porous and may stain more easily. It should be cleaned with warm water and dried thoroughly to avoid spotting. Quartz is virtually non-porous and can be cleaned with non-abrasive cleaners or household bleach.
