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 MoreWhite Fantasy Quartzite vs Yellow Juparana Delicatus Granite
Comments (24)Hi Tuoihong- Glad you went with WF. Just read the thread and was thinking from early in the thread that WF was where your heart was. IMHO, SLab #1 is a little quieter, whereas #2 is a bit splotchy, chaotic. They're both gorgeous, but if I had to pick, it would be #1, which already has plenty of movement and visual interest but provides a calmer, more uniform look. Imagine you're making the decision by flipping a coin. Slab #1 is heads, #2 tails. While it's up in the air, about to fall, are you in your heart of hearts hoping for heads or tails? An idea similar to Beekeeper's Wife's, it helps clear away the noise and show you where your heart is....See MoreHELP!!! Fantasy brown quartzite or alaska white granite?
Comments (40)Alyssa987 - I had Dallas White on my list for a short time because it was a lighter granite but it wasn't one that I loved and swooned over. The granite yards near me don't seem to carry a lot of white granites, so I haven't been able to see ones like White River or Colonial White in person. I read about staining issues with Kashmir White so I immediately took it off my list. It's tough because the different granite yards call the same granite different names....See MorePeke
