The Challenge

Precision with Delicate Marble

Working with White Calacatta marble in this Kirkland bathroom was a delightful challenge due to the material's natural veining and delicate nature. The client desired a seamless look, which meant careful planning of the marble slabs to ensure the veining flowed naturally across the surfaces. The full-height backsplash added complexity as we needed to align the patterns perfectly from the countertop up the wall.

Additionally, the three-story home in the Waterview neighborhood posed logistical challenges. Transporting the marble to the upper floors required strategic planning and careful handling to avoid any damage. The builder was meticulous, demanding precision in every cut and joint, which aligned with our commitment to quality craftsmanship.

The bathroom's existing layout also required us to work around tight spaces, ensuring the marble was installed without disrupting the overall design aesthetic. Our team had to adapt to these constraints while maintaining the elegance and functionality the client expected.

Our Approach

Strategic Planning and Execution

To address the challenges, we employed our STONEEX digital laser scanning technology to create an accurate template of the space. This precision ensured that every cut of the White Calacatta marble was exact, allowing for seamless veining and perfect alignment with the full-height backsplash.

Our Kirkland facility's CNC fabrication capabilities were instrumental in achieving the desired finish. The CNC machines handled the delicate marble with care, delivering precision cuts that adhered to the client’s specifications. The eased edge profile was chosen for its sleek, modern look, complementing the bathroom's design.

During installation, our skilled team worked meticulously to transport and position the marble slabs on the upper floors of the home. We coordinated closely with the builder to ensure each piece fit perfectly, paying close attention to the alignment of the veining across the surfaces. Our attention to detail and collaborative approach with the builder ensured a flawless execution.
