Chicago - White Granite/Quartzite
Comments (13)We got our kitchen granite (bianco antico) from T&M. There showroom is nice with substantial pieces to look at (2x5? cuts). if you can, make an appointment - they seem to be busy lately and you might have to wait an hour to go into the warehouse. We got the rest of the house granite from M&G supply (Carmello and New Delicatus). Service was great, had TONS of samples to give you. I also really liked the service at Damar, but unfortunately their slabs were too small for my island. HTH!!! happy granite hunting - mine was installed today!!! I haven't been able to see it yet, but will drive out tomorrow and share pics!...See MoreQuartzite or White Granite in Texas
Comments (3)There are HUNDREDS of granite yards in Houston, so finding the perfect slab should be as possible here as anywhere. If you're ready for your slabs (but not more than a month before) I'd let your fingers do the walking and call up a bunch of stoneyards to ask what they have. Don't get hung up on the stone's name because different vendors name the same stone differently, and differences between even the same variety of stone can be substantial. And if you can find a picture online of what you want, ask to email them a picture so they know what you want. If I were limited to shopping only two places, I'd suggest Arizona Tile & Stone near Beltway 8 and I-10, and Walker Zanger on the Old Katy Road just inside Loop 610. Arizona Tile has a huge indoor warehouse with a great selection; and the sales associates at Walker Zanger are very knowledgeable and they carry a large number of samples. There's also a place on Hempstead Highway near Bingle in the same parking lot at DalTile and Emser (both also worth a look). Don't remember the name of this place, but they're especially good for the various brands of quartz....See MoreAny experience with Super White Granite/Quartzite?
Comments (2)pebbles, I have posted on this material many times before. It is not a granite or a quartzite. The best way I could describe it would be a Quartzitic/ Marble. It has characteristics of a truly hard Quartzite with soft marble deposits that are very soft. Those spots scratch and etch. When this material was first introduced it was quite expensive like all Quartzites, then when the truth worked itself out, the Brazilians dropped the price. If you use it, treat it like a white marble in the kitchen. Honed only. James...See MoreHelp!! Looking for the "perfect" white quartzite or granite
Comments (8)neroselover...yes, that macaubus is definitely a contender! Peke...that site has some BEAUTIFUL stones!! I found several I like. However, I do not live near any (I live in Michigan). It does give me some sort of reference though so I can search for some of those stones around where I live. breezygirl...how do you like your carrara? I'm too afraid that marble would end up ruined in my house, but I definitely LOVE many of the marbles! I agree about the bianco Antico...I had originally considered a bianco romano that I saw several months ago...but since then I haven't seen any slabs of that that I like. I prefer a softer veiny look. Thanks for all of your suggestions:)...See Morebogaloo
