Granite and quartz slabs and how we template them

Kitchen and bath countertops do more than finish a room—they take daily heat, prep, and cleanup. At A1 Flooring and Granite in Lewisville, you can review granite and quartz slabs (plus related surfaces), then walk through templating, fabrication, and install so the tops fit your cabinets and layout.

If you are still comparing materials, start with our granite vs quartz overview, then visit the showroom when you are ready to choose a slab.

Types of countertop materials

• Granite — Natural stone with a wide range of colors and patterns; valued for heat tolerance and a distinctive look in kitchens and baths.
• Quartz — Engineered surface made with quartz and resins; non-porous and straightforward to clean for many households.
• Quartzite — Natural stone with a durable character; discuss care and finish options in the showroom.
• Marble — Distinctive look; softer than many granite or quartz options and more care-sensitive around stains and etching.
• Porcelain slabs — Modern option often chosen for heat, scratch, and stain resistance; also discussed for indoor applications.
• Prefabricated tops — Pre-cut / standard-size options when you want a faster path on compatible layouts.

How templating and install work

1. Consult & select — Match material and edge profile to your cabinets, sink, and style. See edge profiles.
2. Template — Precise field measure after cabinets are set (or as your project timeline requires).
3. Fabrication — Tops are fabricated to the template (including sinks and cooktop cutouts as specified).
4. Install — Set, seam (if needed), and finish details; coordinate backsplash when it is in scope.
5. Care notes — Stone tops may need periodic sealing; quartz care differs—ask at selection so expectations are clear.

Why visit the Lewisville showroom

Seeing full slabs (or large samples) in person is the surest way to approve movement, color, and edge details before templating. Pair countertops with kitchen remodeling, bathroom remodeling, cabinets, and tile when those are part of the same project.
