Picking Out Your Quartz Slab
When it comes to quartz slabs you are going to be presented with so many options it can be a little overwhelming. But our trained and informed team at Intrepid Marble and Granite near West Linn are here to assist you in any way. Because quartz slabs are a man-made material there are more variations of color, design, and patterns. They are often made to mimic the look of natural stones like marble or granite. But quarts does have the advantage to get more creative with designs and colors because this material is manufactured. This means you can get bright red, green or other colors that are not typically found in natural stones.

In this way, quartz slabs are sanitary, extremely durable, and available in a wide variety of colors and patterns.
