Remnants
Using stone remnants for vanities
A vanity, a powder room, or a laundry top rarely needs a full slab. Stone Connection keeps the pieces a kitchen did not use, so a smaller project in the Chicago area can start from stone that already exists.
A full slab is sized for a kitchen. The sink, the cooktop, and the seams leave a portion the job does not use. Across the industry, that unused share is about 35 percent. Those remnants are what we collect in Bensenville.
What a remnant is good for
A short run. A desk. A powder room. A laundry. Anything that can take one existing piece instead of opening another full slab. The price on the card is the piece, not a discount off a full slab, and it is not a unit price. Each remnant has its own size. What is here changes, so call before you specify.
Remnants can save thousands of dollars
Stone remnants save money because you buy the piece the project needs instead of a full slab. A homeowner working on one bathroom vanity may only need a single remnant. A builder finishing eight areas in a house, from powder rooms to laundry tops, can use remnants the same way across the whole job.
In either case, remnants can make a significant difference in the stone budget, often thousands of dollars compared with opening full slabs for small runs. The price on each card is for that piece. See what is on hand in Bensenville, then call before you specify a color.
