Distinctive natural stone is easiest to select when you begin with the intended surface and the actual slab. Use these original catalog images as a starting point for a conversation about appearance and detailing.
5 materials · Photographs help you shortlist. Ask for the current slab.
Onyx: plan the complete feature
For an onyx feature, consider the panel size, joints, edge treatment and the surrounding finishes. If you are considering lighting behind the stone, ask to test the chosen slab with the proposed lighting assembly. Do not assume every thickness or slab will produce the same result.
Travertine: agree the surface treatment
Ask whether the supplied surface will be filled or unfilled, and confirm the finish on a physical sample. Discuss the cleaning routine and suitability for the proposed location with the installer. Texture visible in a photograph is not a slip-resistance test.
