Common questions
Which is better, marble or quartz?
Marble offers a classic, natural look with unique veining, but it can stain or etch. Quartz is a man-made material that is very durable and low-maintenance. For an Alaskan home, quartz might be more practical for busy kitchens.
Is quartz cheaper than marble?
Yes, quartz is generally less expensive than natural marble. The cost of marble can vary greatly depending on the rarity of the stone and its origin. For your Anchorage kitchen, quartz often provides a more budget-friendly option.
Can I put a hot cup of coffee on marble?
It's best to avoid placing hot items directly on marble. The stone can be sensitive to extreme heat, potentially causing thermal shock or dulling the surface. Always use coasters or trivets to protect your marble countertops.
Is it cheaper to buy or build a cabinet?
Buying pre-made cabinets is typically less expensive and faster. Building custom cabinets allows for a perfect fit and unique designs but costs more. The best option for your Alaska home depends on your budget and desired look.
What is the 1 3 rule for cabinets?
The '1-3 rule' is not a standard kitchen design guideline. We focus on ergonomic design and functionality. This includes proper spacing for workflow and appliance access in your kitchen, ensuring a practical layout.
How does Alaska's climate impact marble installation?
Extreme cold can affect the curing time of adhesives and sealants used in marble installation. We adjust our methods to ensure proper bonding and sealing, even in colder months. This guarantees the longevity of your marble countertops.
