The availability of three new finishes now makes ultra-compact Neolith a truly versatile design choice. Recognized for its durability, it also now offers increased design flexibility.

Every now and then, we receive a thank-you letter that reminds us why we love the business we’re in. It’s our goal to remain a step above other natural stone wholesalers. And nothing makes us more proud than when we accomplish this goal. It is with great pride that we share the following letter we recently received from two customers who are very pleased with the caliber of customer service they received at Marble and Granite, Inc.

So often, when we talk about natural stone and surfacing, we reference countertops. But we know that you have more on your design plate, so to speak, than bathrooms and kitchens. We pride ourselves on our ability to bring you the very latest products and style ideas. One of these products, in particular, is Neolith. And while Neolith does make an incredibly durable, functional, and attractive countertop material, what you may not know is that it’s useful for so much more.

Q: A friend told us that using granite countertops in our bath remodel would make the room look “dated.” Is it true that granite is on its way out?

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.

Now that we’ve finally “sprung ahead” and the days are a bit longer, you’ve no doubt got warmer weather on your mind. Maybe you’re even thinking about some outdoor projects that will let you enjoy the open air more freely as the temperature rises. If so, you’re not alone. The outdoor living and landscape sector has grown into a $60-billion per year industry—and not just in the areas that are warm-year-round. No matter where you live, you can design a beautiful outdoor living space that will last— as long as you know which materials will stand the test of time.

We love high-performing ultra compact Neolith surfacing. So we decided to attend the Kitchen and Bath Industry Show (KBIS) earlier this month in Las Vegas when manufacturer The Size introduced their new color collection, Classtone.

When it comes to tile flooring, all signs are pointing toward a trend in large format tiles. Besides offering a distinctive design aesthetic, there are a few other benefits to big tiles. And in the “big tile” category, no surface can come close to offering the benefits of Neolith.

Are you headed to Las Vegas for the National Kitchen & Bath Association (NKBA’s) annual Kitchen & Bath Industry Show (KBIS) this week? If so, here’s our advice for getting the most out of your experience, including what surfacing industry highlights you won’t want to miss.

Reading about all of the fun new gadgets introduced at a recent Consumer Electronics Show brings to mind how much technology has changed our lives. It’s changed our business too. Today, you have the convenience of checking our live inventory right on your laptop at www.marbleandgranite.com or smart phone with our StonePedia app. But what’s particularly interesting to note is how technology has affected every aspect of design.
