Granite: Natural stone, heat-resistant, unique patterns, requires periodic sealing.
Quartz: Engineered, highly durable, consistent color/pattern, non-porous, very low maintenance.
Quartzite: Natural, harder than granite, striking veining, more resistant to scratches, usually sealed.
Marble: Timeless beauty, soft and porous, develops a patina with age, ideal for those who love character.

Run your hand across the surface to feel texture and finish.

Do you want bold movement or a clean, consistent look?
Are you pairing with light or dark cabinets?
Do you want your slab to blend in or make a statement?
Pro Tip: Bring cabinet doors, paint chips, or flooring samples to your visit. It makes matching much easier.
Finish: Polished for shine, honed for matte, leathered for texture.
Edges: Eased, beveled, ogee, waterfall—your edge adds personality.
Thickness: Standard 3 cm is durable, but waterfall or double-stacked edges can make a bold statement.
Template your kitchen with precision.
Cut and finish your slab with care.
Seam and install so it looks seamless and lasts for decades.

Yes, slabs are sold as full pieces. Your fabricator will cut the slab to fit your project, and any remaining material may be kept as extra for future use.
If you want low-maintenance countertops, quartz is ideal. For families that cook often, granite or quartzite can handle heat, spills, and heavy use. If you love character and don’t mind patina, marble countertops are a great fit.
Yes. Natural stone slabs (granite, marble, quartzite) are one-of-a-kind, with unique veining and movement. Quartz slabs offer more consistency in color and pattern. That’s why visiting our slab warehouse in Logan, Utah to see them in person is so important.
Absolutely. At Caravel Select, the exact granite, quartz, quartzite, or marble slab you reserve in our Logan warehouse is the one your fabricator installs in your home—no substitutions.
Caravel Select supplies the slabs, while professional Utah countertop fabricators handle cutting, edging, and installation. If you don’t have a fabricator yet, we can connect you with trusted local partners.
