Are you dreaming of the islands? Warm sand, or maybe shades of azure as far as the eye can see? Sure, the beach is beautiful and palm trees are pleasing. But I’m talking about the kind of island you can enjoy every day, year-round right in your kitchen!

Are you headed to the Coverings show next week in Las Vegas? If you are, don’t miss your chance to catch an exclusive preview of the very latest from ColorQuartz!

Happy Earth Day! In honor of today’s environmentally-focused holiday, here are some ways that Neolith, the ultra-compact, high-performance surfacing material that’s great for kitchen and bath countertops, flooring, interior wall and cladding applications, helps environmentally-conscious builders, designers, and other home professionals feel good about the materials they use in their projects.

How much does natural stone cost? This is typically the very first question that homeowners have for us. And we understand. Naturally, you need to know ballpark figures before you get too far in your planning process. Depending on your budget, this is a pretty big deal. So, what, exactly, can you expect to pay for your granite countertop or marble shower?

ColorQuartz may not yet be a household brand name, but at Marble & Granite, Inc., we’re confident that as you learn more about this dynamic material, you’ll agree that it's a great choice for all of your quartz surfacing needs. Here’s a little bit of history about the company to help you understand our choice to bring ColorQuartz to the New England market.

In their efforts to provide the most accurate and up-to-date information possible to our industry, the Marble Institute of America (MIA) has recently commissioned two new studies on the relationship between granite and radon/radiation. So, reflecting “our” goal of keeping you, the consumer, informed of the very latest in the natural stone world, we’d like to share the results of those studies with you.

Here at Marble and Granite, Inc., we’re exceptionally proud to be New England’s only distributor of ColorQuartz® Stone surfaces. And we’re excited to share with you all of the reasons that we love this product.

About 14 years ago, Marble and Granite, Inc. first introduced quartz surfacing to the New England marketplace when we began marketing and selling Caesarstone. At that time, quartz was essentially an unknown product. We saw back then that the features and benefits that this innovative material provide, and we felt confident that it was a surface consumers would soon come to trust.
