GRANITE SLAB "Movement" IS A MATTER OF CHOICE

When selecting your granite, many homeowners and designers consider the type of stone and the color. But...there is one VERY important feature in stone that literally sets the tone for the look of your slab and that is "Movement". Often considered works of art in their own right, the HOT trend today is for heavy character created by decades of evolution or "Movement". Like a blank canvas, one visit to your slab yard and you can select stone with a pattern that no one else will have - completely unique for a custom countertop unlike any other.


Movement is classified in two ways: Linear or Randon


Linear Movement is when the sonte has color patterns moving along a horizontal or vertical plane. The movement spans throughout the stone. If you select a slab with linear movement, you'll need to consider that the pronounced look when you are working on design details. Like clothing, should the stripes go down or across? Hiring a quality fabricator is very important if you select granite with a look. Your Bedrock fabricator will carefully plan and lay out your slab to insure precise seam matching and material flow. If you are looking to make a REAL STATEMENT, Linear slabs are the way to go.


Random Movement is by far the most popular sought after characteristic in stone. Admired for its random swirls and multiple colors, random movement is a fun, creative way to give any kitchen or bath personality. The slabs can go from subtle to wild, so they work well in among any design style.


Random or Linear? Either way, your stone choice will be a beautiful one.
