Slab & Waterfall Features from slab yard to sink hookup
A full-height slab backsplash removes every grout line behind the range and reads as one piece of stone. It uses considerably more material than tile and it is the single most striking thing you can do with a countertop budget.
Mitered waterfall edges are where fabrication skill shows. Done well the grain runs continuously around the corner and the joint disappears; done quickly it reads as two slabs meeting at ninety degrees.

FAQ
Questions on slab & waterfall features, answered
What is a full-height slab backsplash?
The same stone as the counter run up the wall to the cabinets or the hood, in one piece, instead of tile. It is dramatic, it is seamless, it is easy to clean, and it costs a good deal more than tile because it is a second slab and a second fabrication. It is the choice when the stone is the feature of the kitchen.
What is a waterfall island?
The counter continued down one or both ends of the island to the floor, with a mitered corner so the pattern turns the edge. It makes the island a single piece of stone rather than a counter on a cabinet, and it shows the material. The miter is the skill in it — a poorly cut waterfall edge shows a seam where a good one shows none.
