Material knowledge

Resources

Practical material-selection guidance for architects, designers, fabricators, trade buyers and homeowners. Content should be specific, accurate and tied to real material decisions.

Specify with confidence

Start with the project, then confirm the material.

Material suitability depends on application, finish, thickness, slab dimensions, fabrication and installation conditions. Share what you know; the final product and availability should be confirmed before purchase.

Useful details to include

  • Natural stone vs engineered surfaces
  • Finishes, thickness and slab formats
  • Area measurement, wastage and maintenance
