At World Stone, countertop projects are built on great communication and thoughtful choices. That’s why every customer goes through the selections process—ensuring no detail is overlooked and your finished product reflects your exact needs and style.


Here’s a breakdown of what you’ll choose and how we’ll guide you through it:

Project & Contact Info

We start with the basics—your name, address, and who’s involved in the project (homeowner, builder, or designer). This ensures all communication is clear and timely from day one.

Room Details

You’ll tell us which rooms will receive countertops—like the kitchen, bathroom(s), laundry room, or bar. Each space can have unique needs, and we plan accordingly.

Stone Color & Material

Visit our showroom or check our Products Page to pick from our selection of beautiful granite, marble, or quartz. Or check out options from our major suppliers. You can mix and match colors across different rooms to suit the function and style of each space.

Thickness

We’ll confirm the thickness of each stone (usually 3cm). This affects style, price, available edge profiles, and sometimes support requirements.

Backsplash Height

You decide how much backsplash (if any) you'd like—common options include a standard 4-inch backsplash, full-height, or a completely clean wall for tile.

Faucet Spread

For any sink installations, we’ll record your faucet configuration (typically 4", 8", or single-hole). This allows us to drill precise holes in advance for easy installation later.

Sink Selection & Cooktop Models

We offer a variety of sink options—from single bowls to 60/40 or 50/50 splits, as well as oval or rectangular vanities. You’ll check off what works for your space. If you already have your sinks or cooktops selected, we’ll take down those model numbers. This ensures cutouts are accurate and everything fits perfectly at install.

Edge Profile

Choose from a range of edge styles—like Straight, Quarter Round, Half Bullnose, Ogee, and more. These choices influence both the look and feel of your countertops.

Surface Finish

Would you like polished, leathered, or honed? Most material is only available in polished, but we’ll explain the pros and cons of each so you can pick the perfect finish for your home’s style and daily use.

Overhang & Radius

We’ll help you select the right overhangs, determine need for any supports, and define the corner radius (how rounded the corners are). This is especially important for islands, bar tops, or child-friendly homes.

Additional Notes

Anything unique? Whether you have special design requests, timing needs, or accessibility concerns—there’s space for that too.

Signature and customer expectations

Finally, you review everything and sign off—ensuring we’re aligned before we move to the precise laser measurement and fabrication stage. Please also take time to review our Customer Expectations
