Materials Guide
Material choice is only the beginning.
Natural stone, porcelain, sintered surfaces, engineered quartz, and specialty materials each have distinct visual, technical, maintenance, and installation considerations. RSI helps teams evaluate the right material for the actual slab, finish, environment, and application.
Natural Stone
Marble, granite, quartzite, limestone, travertine, soapstone, dolomite, and sodalite.
Porcelain & Sintered Surfaces
Specified around handling, fabrication, substrates, support, and installation conditions.
Engineered Quartz
Evaluated for the intended use, detailing, and product-specific requirements.
Specialty Materials
Onyx, semi-precious stone, petrified wood, lapis lazuli, gemstone slabs, and fossil slabs.
Bookmatched Stone
Pattern with a deliberate point of view.
Bookmatching arranges adjacent pieces so their veining creates a mirrored pattern. It is a design decision that benefits from reviewing the full composition, not just a small sample.
