For a small project, a remnant can be a sensible way to get natural stone into a space that does not need a full slab.
Matching a Remnant to Your Project
Remnant availability changes constantly, and colors come and go. The key is knowing your dimensions so you can tell quickly whether a piece will work.
Remnants are best for projects without seams. A vanity, a desk, a laundry folding counter or a fireplace hearth are classic fits.
Using a Remnant
- 01
Measure
Record length, depth and any sink or faucet needs.
- 02
Browse
Look through available remnants that fit those dimensions.
- 03
Fabricate
The remnant is cut, edged and drilled for your space.
- 04
Install
The finished piece is set and sealed.
Questions to Ask About a Remnant
Check for natural fissures or chips along cut edges, and confirm the piece is large enough once the factory edge is trimmed.
Ask whether matching backsplash material is available from the same remnant before committing.
