Can a border be added to an existing slab?
Yes. Engraving, staining or an overlay can add borders and inlays to an existing slab. We explain which method suits your surface.
How do you plan a medallion?
We mark the center on the slab, lay out the shape with chalk and review it with you before any cutting or coating.
