All Virginia Marble products are carefully manufactured from the finest precision ground marble and special resins. This high gloss surface is stain and chemicals resistant. Very easy to clean. There are no unsightly grooves, seams or rims for dirt to collect. Available in a wide variety of natural and richly marbled decorator colors.

Natural Stone
Natural stone is classified into two general categories: siliceous stone and calcareous stone.
Siliceous Stones - Siliceous stones are granite, quartz-based stone, serpentine, slate and soapstone. They are durable and easy to maintain under normal conditions of use.
Calcareous Stones - Calcareous stones are limestones, marble, onyx and travertine. Neutral cleansers (ph7) are recommended. These stones are also durable, but more sensitive to acids and strong alkaline compounds.

Granite

Granite is an igneous rock, which means it was once molten and formed as it cooled deep within the earth. Minerals within granite typically appear as small flecks throughout the stone, once creating a "salt and pepper" look. Other types have veining similar to marble. Granite is a dense-grained, hard stone. It can be highly polished or finished in a variety of other ways. A broad spectrum of color is available.
Most common uses:
Interior and exterior wall cladding, interior and exterior paving, residential & commercial counter tops, monuments, curbing, statuary, balance tables, novelty items

Marble

Marble has both a scientific and commercial definition. Scientific marble was once limestone that achieved metamorphosis from intense pressures and high temperatures within the earth. This altered its crystalline structure and introduced other minerals that produced the valuable colors and veining. Commercially, any stone capable of taking a polish (with the exception of granite) is known as marble. This includes travertine, onyx, serpentine and limestone.
Most common uses:
Interior and exterior wall cladding, Interior and exterior paving, Fireplace facing and hearth, Lavatory tops, Residential & Commercial counter tops,

Travertine

Travertine marble is a variety of limestone formed in pools by the slow precipitation of hot, mineral-rich spring water. The "holes" characteristic of travertine were created when carbon dioxide bubbles were trapped as the stone was being formed. Although the classic travertines are recognizable by their homogenous ecru to dark colors, dark reds are available to dark brown veining.
Most common uses:
Interior and exterior wall cladding, interior and exterior paving, statuary, curbing, counter tops.

Limestone

Limestone is widely used as a building stone because it is readily available and easy to work with. It is a sedimentary stone, layered and formed from the skeletons and shells of sea creatures that lived in vast, warm seas millions of years ago. Much domestic limestone is gray to buff in color, while some pastel shades of yellow to pink are available. Imported limestones are available in colors ranging from light beige to dark brown, red and black. When the mineral dolomite is present, it makes the limestone harder and capable of being polished in the same manner as metamorphic marble.
Most common uses:
Interior and exterior wall cladding, interior and exterior paving, limited counter top use (with the exception of Jerusalem Grey Limestone, which has the same hardness as granite and is suitable to counter top use).

Slate

Slate is a fine-grained, metamorphic stone derived from sedimentary rock shale. It is uniform in color, available in shades such as dark to light green, mottled purple, black, gray or dark red. Veined patterns from overseas have also recently been introduced. Unless its surface has been honed smooth, slate can be recognized by its distinct cleft pattern.
Most common uses:
Residential and commercial counter tops, fireplace facing, roofing, interior & exterior (American only) wall cladding, interior & exterior (American only) paving, fireplace facings, table tops and many non-architectural uses

Soapstone

Soapstone is a metamorphosed, easily worked igneous stone characterized by a "soapy" feeling when touched. Colors range from dark gray to bluish or greenish gray. Its heat retention qualities make it an ideal cladding for free-standing coal or wood-fired room heaters. Soapstone is also chemical, stain and weather-resistant, and is useful for sinks and laboratory tops as well as general building purposes.
Most common uses:
Chemistry and fire resistant work surfaces, fireplace facings & inner hearths, where heat is an issue

Onyx

Onyx marble is a translucent, layered calcitic stone in pastel shades. It is typically formed in caves as stalactites and stalagmites by the slow precipitation of cold, mineral-rich water.
Most common uses:
Interior wall covering. Can be used on the exterior in warm environments, table tops, very light duty residential flooring, and Novelty items

Pyrolave

Pyrolave is a natural volcanic stone extracted from the flows at Volvic in France.
Its surface is refined & coated with an enamel glaze that is kiln fired. It is indefinable in that it is not a marble or granite or a ceramic tile, but both of these process combined which results in the glazed lava stone.
The glazing & firing cycles produce a crackle or crazed effect. The natural lavastone support for the glaze is flat with minimal surface texture. These are inherent features of the product.

Concrete

Concrete countertops have evolved over the last decade into structurally as well as functionally sophisticated surfaces. The versatility of this material and the selection of colors and options allow for use in a variety of interiors. Options such as integral sinks, drainboards, aprons, various edge details, custom finishes and inlays can further personalize your kitchen, bath, family room, etc.

In addition to countertops, objects such as fireplace components, showerpans & walls, tabletops, and tables are available.

Glass

All solid, tempered glass in 1/4" , 3/8" , 1/2" , 5/8" , 3/4" , 1" thicknesses. The natural color is slightly green. Water clear is available. It has no green when viewed thru the edge. Translucent Colors are produced by tinting the back of the glass. Opaque colors are produced by adding a special opaque coating to the back of the glass. Also, the glass can be etched , sandblasted ,grooved , and carved for a striking effect.

Stainless steel

Stainless Steel is essentially a low carbon steel which contains chromium at 10% or more by weight. It is this addition of chromium that gives the steel its unique stainless, corrosion resisting properties. The chromium content of the steel allows the formation of a rough, adherent, invisible, corrosion-resisting chromium oxide film on the steel surface.

Copper

A recent British study found that Copper and Brass were Bactericidal when used as food prep surfaces . It is a safe material to use, but we recommend a chopping block for cutting and food prep. The long-term look is decidedly “country” in nature, as these counters acquire a “patina” that changes over time.

Wood

Premium Select Woods , Hand Detailed , Oil Finished
Teak -Maple -Cherry -Oak - Walnut - Exotics
All thicknesses from 3/4" to 6"
Many Edges including : Ogee, Square, Rounded
Wood Countertops and Butcher Block are hygienic. A New York study found that "the cellular structure of Maple is actually Bacteriostatic" (kills germs).

Most woods in fact have the same quality.
