Remodeling 101 – Everything You Need to Know About Slab Selection!

If the idea of remodeling your home has kept you in the same kitchen for years then consider yourself lucky for stumbling upon this blog. We know that any kind of remodel/renovation can seem like a scary task to take on. But with the right information, a helpful Professional Designer and a Fabricator it’s as easy as 1-2-3.

Below are a few helpful tips that will make the process of choosing a new slab easier. If you still have questions, simply call and talk to one of our helpful Design Consultants. (Clockwise from top: Maggie, Leona, Margaret, Robbi, Diane, Liz & Monika)

First things first, find a local Fabricator that works for you. Just to make your life easier in the end, it’s better to know exactly what you need before starting to look for slabs or doing your research. No matter how big or small your project, have a Fabricator come out and measure exactly what you will need. Eyeballing doesn’t always cut it.

Remodeling 101 Tip: Pick your countertop first and then move on to the backsplash. Remember you need your dress before accessories!

Once you have your measurements, you can begin brainstorming. Getting ideas online is great, besides the good ol’ google, there’s also instagram, pinterest & houzz. You can also view live inventory at www.tmsupply.com.

Remodeling 101 Tip: Our website is completely live, you get to see our actual stock online. (How cool!?) You can view material by type, color, or price level. (Please note that prices are shown by levels, level 1-10, level 1 being the lowest to level 10 the highest. It’s helpful to find out from your Fabricator what price levels you should be looking at.)

At this point you should have a pretty good idea of how you want your home to look like and what you’re looking for. And if you don’t, that’s ok too, that’s what we’re here for. You don’t need an appointment to come in and look at slabs but it is helpful to make one.

Remodeling 101 Tip: Bring anything you can that will make the decision of choosing a slab/s easier. The more you bring to the initial meeting – the better. Cabinets, wall colors, photos, and even sketches will help tremendously in the end.

Porcelain Slabs

Porcelain slabs are quickly gaining popularity and becoming the material of choice. Now we have to ask ourselves, is this a trend, “flavor of the month,” or are they here for the long run? Porcelain slabs have been a hot item in Europe for some time now, and slowly making their transition into the states. One thing’s for sure, this trend is here to stay, expect to see a growing incline in porcelain slabs for both residential and commercial markets.

Why Porcelain? Aside from the obvious – durability, versatility and low maintenance – Porcelain is available in a variety of colors and finishes that can be used for flooring, wall cladding and countertop applications. Whether its your style or not, you now have the option to have the same color/pattern throughout your countertop, floors, walls and baseboard. Additionally, the thinness of porcelain slabs screams sleek and modern which we love!
