Before visiting our showroom we suggest that our clients put together a sketch or get a plan of the cabinet layout, with rough wall measurements, backsplash location and sink placement. Exposed edge and wall location are crucial information. It is preferable but not necessary to make an appointment with one of our stone designers.
Safety is one of our primary concerns at Marble Emporium. Throughout our 25 years in operation, our safety record has been outstanding. We cultivate a culture of safety by having regularly scheduled safety meetings for both our installation crews and fabricators in our shop. We have stressed over the years that safety is a team sport and that when everyone is responsible for each other's safety, we all win.
Marble is a metamorphic rock composed of recrystallized carbonate minerals, most commonly calcite or dolomite. Geologists use the term "marble" to refer to metamorphosed limestone; however, stonemasons use the term more broadly to encompass unmetamorphosed limestone. Currently, marble is very popular as a material for kitchen and bath countertops.
