Design Guide
Creating beautiful sinks and tubs is what we do, and custom orders are a large part of the business. We welcome customer input, including design ideas and choice of stone, in order to provide you with a quality product that matches the vision you have for your home.
All of our sinks and tubs are hand crafted by highly experienced stone carvers and as such, creating a customized version may not cost much more than a standard stock item.

Stone Care
Caring for a stone sink is not nearly as complicated as cleaning manufacturers would have you believe. In fact, you probably have all you need in your home already: dishwashing soap and bleach.
The finish of our sinks is achieved by hand polishing with diamond grinding pads. Sealers and chemicals are not added to enhance or protect our natural stone products. Due to the density of most stones, sealers simply aren’t required; with the exception of sandstone which is typically porous and soft, therefore, the use of a good stone sealer is recommended.
Acidic foods can dull or etch a highly polished stone, even when stone sealers are used. For this reason, all of our kitchen sinks come with a honed, or slightly dull, interior finish to neutralize the effects of acidic foods.
Cleaning directions: for general cleaning we recommend Dawn dishwashing soap. For tough stains, bleach works great and will not harm your stone (including marble).
