Hi, this particular granite we have in Ridgefield Park NJ (10 slabs) and in Deer Park NY (11 slabs) locations. I absolutely recommend you to take a look at the whole slab by yourself in natural light.
Hi, Yes absolutely I would recommend you to use the Classic White Lunar to achieve the look of carrera marble. It's more durable and less stain then marble, just please remember about the sealing every 6 months.
Hi I'm looking into the quartzite in whites. I live in Westchester Ny and usually
Go to ridgefield but now realizing you have other locations, I have no problem traveling to. Can your give me an innovatory of your whites in Long Island and and your 2 NJ locations please. (How many slabs with names please ) I have about 75sq ft to cover. Thank you so much! It will make my life much easier to go look.
Do you recommend Classic White Lunar as the most affordable option for one trying to achieve the look of carrera marble? Looking for an affordable option that will not have the tendency to stain as much as marble. thanks
Hi, The Quartzite is a natural stone as a compact granular rock composed of quartz crystals.The stone is generally quarried in stratified layers, the surfaces of which are unusually smooth. Its crushing and tensile strengths are extremely high; the color range is wide. However the enginneered stones like ceaserstone are the ultimate combination of nature and technology. Non-porous, scratch resistant and highly resistant to stains. In Deer Park location they have got Quazrtzite Classic Lunar and engineered stone: Pure White 1141 and also Misty Carrera 4141H.
what is the difference between quartzite and engineered considering lunar white vs Quantra carrara and do you have both at Deer Park location
Hello Cheryl. My inventory says that we have 10 slabs of Classic White Lunar at our Deer Park NY facility. For sealing purposes, I recommend to online order and use the DuPont StoneTech Bulletproof Sealer: http://www.mrstone.com/granite...
HI do you have any pictures of a honed classic white lunar? Also i am looking at the Deep Park location do you have slabs of 70 there? If not can you get it from another location? What sealer do you use?
The Classic White and Classic White Lunar are different shipments and have slight variations. I've created a Comparison Table of the newest shipments of our regular Classic White for your easy reference: http://www.marble.com/material... Hope this helps!
Hi Kirstin. Indeed, we have had success with Classic White installations in a kitchen countertop setting. This stone is stronger than regular marble, but not as durable as a true granite. Kind of in middle in terms of technical specifications, if that makes sense. I recommend to reseal this stone with a strong sealer every six months to make sure it stays stain resistant. I recommend for you to use the DuPont StoneTech Bulletproof Sealer. Take a look here: http://www.mrstone.com/granite...
I love marble, most of the white's with gray veins. Seems like marble not right choice for kitchen counters though. Classic White Lunar (and classic white?) seems to be a good alternative. Would you agree as far as look? What about placement. Would quartzite be strong enough and resilient enough for range side counters and kitchen dining countertops?
I only see two versions of classic white lunar in the quartzite pictures. What is classic white? Can you post a picture?
Unfortunately you’re outside of our area of service. You can still fill out an estimate request here: www.marble.com/estimate and an affiliated fabricator in your area will contact you.
Hi! I live in Lubbock, Texas and I am interested in the Classic White and Classic White Lunar. Is the product available in my area?
Hello. We do not. It's stocked in Ridgefield Park NJ and Deer Park NY: www.marble.com/locations
Hi, we live in Easton, PA. Do you have classic white lunar in your Stroudsburg, PA facility?
Sorry for the late response. For an estimate on the Classic White, please send over the measurements you require for the project along with your address and contact information to the closest sales office to you: www.marble.com/contact
how much per sq foot is this material?
Hi. At the moment, we have the Classic White "Lunar" variety at our Ridgefield Park NJ and Deer Park NY locations. We have the regular Classic White at the South Plainfield facility: www.marble.com/locations
Any slabs in Plainfield. I am debating all white cabinet/island kitchen vs white cabinets with gray island. like the colonial family granites and some quartzite options.
Unfortunately we do not know the name of the backsplash(es) used in the work example portfolio. We only installed the countertop itself and have information on that.
The Classic White is kind of in the middle of granite and marble in terms of durability and maintenance. To be on the safe side, I would reseal the stone approximately every six months instead of every twelve months like the stronger, regular granite's. My inventory check gas informed me that we should have a few slabs at our Deer Park, NY facility available for viewing. If you are concerned about the durability, strength, and maintenance of this stone, then I strongly suggest to acquire a sample at the location and bring it home to test it out yourself and live with it for a little. This countertop selection is an important decision so it's good to take the time and make the right decision! You should seal the sample then test it out by trying to stain it with acidic juices and stuff like that. Hope this helps!
Lastly, do you know what backsplash these are in your work examples pics?? They're a perfect match!
Is this granite or quartzite? How durable is it for use in the kitchen?? Mainly I'm concerned about heat resistance and staining....And do you have it in the Deer Park location so I can take a look tomorrow(monday 9/24/12)? Thanks!
Also, what color will should I paint the walls, and what kind of backsplash do you suggest? I have white cabinets. Thank you. Devorah
