Beautiful… but non-renewable

Natural stones such as granite and marble are a beautiful but non-renewable resource that have been used in construction since ancient times. Natural stone for countertops and other building applications is quarried in faraway places, cut into massive blocks, and processed into large slabs that are transported throughout the world. Quartz is mined, ground-up and aggregated with other minerals, resins and colours, then compressed and baked under high heat. Fabricators then cut these slabs, polish, deliver and install finished countertops and construction components in our communities. These are complex, expensive and carbon-intensive activities. It therefore makes good environmental and economic sense to maintain, repair, restore and re-purpose natural and engineered stone surfaces to extend the life of these non-renewable resources and to minimize the impact on our environment.
