> Cultured Marble

Cultured Marble is a combination of crushed marble (mined from the mtns. of Alabama and Georgia) and a specially formulated, high strength polyester resin. They are mixed together and poured into a mold to form your finished product. All Cultured Marble products have a protective polyester gelcoat on the surface that protects it from stain and gives it the high gloss finish.

Marble shines best in the bath. You can use it on almost every surface, including vanities, shower walls, tub decks and flooring.

Cultured Marble is a manufactured product, and like natural marble, granite, etc., varies in shade and color. Other products such as carpet, wallpaper, and vinyl tile vary each time they are manufactured. Manufactures refer to each "run" as a "dye lot.

THE ADVANTAGES OF CULTURED MARBLE

• Beauty - Elegant, Luxurious appearance
   

• Durability - High strength, resistant to denting, chipping, abrasion and staining
  (with normal use and proper maintenance) 
   

• Lower Cost - The casting process enables the manufacturer to produce cultured marble substantially lower than quarried marble
   
• Seamless Construction - Vanity tops can be cast in one piece (up to 12 feet in length) with integral bowls and back splash, minimizing seams
   
• Water and mildew resistant - Silicone is used to seal the seams, and it is much less likely to leak or mildew than ceramic tile installations that use porous grout. It is the responsibility of the homeowner to inspect and maintain all silicone joints. As houses settle and move, there is the opportunity for the joints to separate. This situation should be corrected as soon as possible so that more serious problems do not develop.
• Low threshold handicap showers - custom-designed to suit your needs
