"What is a remnant?"
In simple terms, remnants are 'mini' slabs of natural or man-made stone.
These compact slabs are a perfect match for custom countertop layouts or smaller remodeling and home building projects, offering significant savings without the need to purchase an entire slab.
To truly grasp what a remnant is, let's explore how they transform from large-format slabs. Our showroom features impressive large-format slabs, hewn from massive stone blocks, often measuring 10' x 10' x 6' (3m x 3m x 2m). These colossal blocks undergo meticulous processing to become thin, wide stone sheets, maintaining the same width and height but with varying thicknesses of 2 or 3cm.
These stone sheets are then carefully measured, cut, and installed in your home—a remarkable journey that gives birth to remnants!
During your countertop project, there may be leftover stone due to unique shapes and sizes required for specific areas (think of it like cutting shapes from a piece of paper—not all projects demand the same dimensions or angles).
At Rock Bottom Granite, we lovingly recover these mini slabs, giving them a new purpose and extending their lifecycle through the principles of Reduce, Reuse, Recycle. This commitment to sustainability translates into substantial savings for your countertop project, especially when we're offering a generous 20% discount throughout the entire month of October! It's an opportunity you won't want to miss.
