They have a wide  variety of high quality natural stone with customizing options that open up endless possibilities for designers and their customers.  They are always ready to accommodate and the staff is knowledgable and friendly. We display their samples in our showroom and it is a plus having a natural stone company who really can go out of the box and offer all the unique sizes, shapes and products that they do!

## Community Q&A

**Q: Where is the Montauk black slate from and what size tiles?** *(in Photo Questions)*

A: That's our Brazil Black Slate, available from our wonderful dealers nationwide

**Q: Blue slate tile** *(in Photo Questions)*

Can you tell me the name and type of the blue floor tile? Thx!

A: AKA Brazil Multicolor http://www.cleftstoneworks.com/stones/natural-cleft-brazil-multicolor-slate

**Q: Another tile question...** *(in Photo Questions)*

Are the tiles grouted? If so do you know the color?  Looking to do a similar floor.  thx

A: In Flooring Applications, grouting is required to insure durability, otherwise the stone will be damaged.

**Q: Love this stone** *(in Photo Questions)*

Can a Outddor patio about 28X10 be built of this and how much would that cost?

A: Hi feel free to contact us via our website, and we'll be happy to answer your questions.

**Q: Backsplash details?** *(in Photo Questions)*

I really like this backsplash tile and design. Where is the tile from?

A: This is Decor Papagios cleft slate, (Brazil Multicolor). Another beautiful project by HomeTech!

**Q: Cobbled** *(in Photo Questions)*

I am planning on ordering CleftsStone (the best) Brazilian slate in brushed as I heard that had least flaking and was gauged but I'm not sure if I should go with cobbled as that sounds like they sanded it or something to make it smoother???

A: Thanks for considering our beautiful stone tiles!

A "cobbled" (aka chiseled or chipped) edge is hit with chains to provide a rustic edge the surface has not been brushed, sanded or smoothed, so it can be somewhat sharp. A "Brushed" (aka "leathered") surface is softened with abrasive brushes on the surface. This will provide a nice silky surface, and may soften the color. We also Antique (both cobbled+brushed")to provide a chipped yet silky finish, or Tumble (antique in a rotary tumbler) to achieve beautiful results for our design clients nationwide.

There is no wrong answer! A basic cleft or honed surface, nicely installed. is perfectly lovely for some, while refined cleft+brushed, honed+brushed, antiqued or tumbled finishes are perfect for others!

Please contact us, we'd be happy to answer any questions you may have, help you make sure you get the perfect result for your project.
