INDIANTOWN, Florida/June 23, 2008 - Real Stone & Granite celebrates summer by offering the best selection of natural stone and superb craftsmen and installers to turn your home into the showcase that you always have dreamed about. Many people choose to tackle major home projects in the summer when there are less time demands and commitments. Backyard barbeques and pool parties replace soccer and serving on committees, turning attention to one's home environment. "Now is the time to renew your house," said José D. Ubilla, president of Real Stone & Granite. "Whether you are remodeling because you plan to stay in your home or for re-sale value, natural stone offers practicality along with timeless beauty," added Ubilla.
Natural stone has long imbued all styles of kitchens, baths, flooring and fireplaces with an elegant and classic beauty. Today it is a major element of green living as part of environmentally healthy spaces. The range of earth tones of stone allow it a great range of style. Stone hues ranging from coffee to cappuccino to copper can be accented with warm reds and pumpkin. Sophisticated and urban graphite and onyx hues can be paired with brilliant jewel tones of fuchsia, violet, teal and electric blue. The glossy surface of highly polished stone and stone embedded with mica chips create a seductive play of light unmatched by other materials.
Real Stone & Granite offers the best selection of premium level granite, marble, limestone, and exotic stones in Florida. Ubilla travels to quarries located all over the world to hand pick stone for his clients. As he envisions finished applications, he chooses slabs for their unique characteristics, colors and subtleties. "Carving, etching and polishing changes a stone's appearance," said Ubilla. "It is critical to be able to recognize a stone slab's potential, to know how it can be manipulated to expose its beauty," he added.
If doing a remodel, Ubilla suggests that homeowners should ask themselves if the room is outdated and shows wear and tear. "Remodeling offers homeowners the opportunity to upgrade, improve layout and functionality, and increase re-sale value," said Ubilla.
The knowledgeable professionals at Real Stone & Granite can make recommendations as well. Granites and quartz are more acid-resistant than marbles and limestone, for example, making these materials more suitable for kitchen countertops. In general, stone combines the safety factor of eliminating dangerous bacteria when cleaned with the longevity in a countertop surface, intertwining function and beauty. Using slip-resistant flooring, such as stone, helps keep families and visitors safe, too.
Because Real Stone & Granite custom manufactures each piece of natural stone as if it were a gemstone, the craftsman can tape out the counter pattern on the slab so that the client can clearly see how veins or colors will accent the design. Counter lips are curved with interesting profiles. Custom fabrications ultimately provide a hand-crafted, furniture-quality appearance appreciated by those who view their home as a castle.
