The Beauty of Fall

sindy — Thu, 06 Oct 2011 14:58:08 +0000

Granite is not just for your kitchen counter tops and with the beauty of the fall season upon us and winter around the corner it’s time to think about your fireplace. Natural stone has been used for many years as fireplace hearths; but did you ever think about a granite mantel or how about a granite surround along with a hearth and mantel. You can even go further than that by covering the entire fireplace wall with a slab of granite creating a full wall surround. Weather your fireplace is inside or a part of your outside living area, natural stone will make a dramatic statement of warmth and creativity. The options are only limited by your imagination. Feel free to call one of our staff with your ideas and let’s see if we can make it a reality.

A Kitchen Rejuvination

leanne — Wed, 27 Apr 2011 18:37:13 +0000

Here are some pictures of a recent job we did for some dear friends of ours. Both the granite and the natural stone back splash are from our showroom.

These photos are a perfect example of the transformation process. The kitchen already was very nice and classic and the addition of granite and tile brought this area to whole new level. Our favorite saying may be cliche but, stone truly transform your home from ordinary to extraordinary!!!!

What Drives Pricing?

leanne — Tue, 26 Apr 2011 18:58:36 +0000

Natural stone is a gift from nature and there are several different factors that drive pricing and why some stones are considerably more costly than others.

Quarry inventories, rate of currency, shipping (container ships) supply and demand, and weather conditions are the main components of pricing stone. Weather conditions may come as a surprise but, many quarries are underwater for several months out of the year. For example, Blue Bahia is one of the most expensive granites and the main reason is because it comes from Brazil which, has a long rainy season and the quarry is in water.

Some other facts that effect granite and marble pricing are the inventory of the quarries. Inventories are low right now do to the turn around in the world economy. Wholesale suppliers are going to the quarries and buying up inventories leaving supplies low and selections sparse. For a while, quarries were having a hard time keeping up with demand but, currently there has been an increase in production.

Customers often ask about commercial grade granite which, is easily available and cost less. Kowalski Granite Center does not work with these granites – the slabs have pits, fissures, and a dull polish. Instead, we offer monthly specials specials, package deals and remants.

Even though natural stone cost a little more than most man made countertops, granite adds instant value to your home and it can literally last a lifetime. Beauty and brawn…… who can ask for anything more?

Kowalski Granite Center proudly serves all of West Michigan and Northern Michigan including Pentwater, Manistee, Ludington and Traverse City. We always offer free estimates and are happy to price match!
