What is cultured marble made of?

All our marble is locally produced in-house. We take crushed stone, mix it with a specialized resin, cast it by hand into forms, and then cure it into solid, permanently sealed, beautiful slabs. During this process, we work with you to determine the color, pattern, shape, and size to create a unique look specific for your home. We add pigments or inks to produce a wide range of colors and realistic, natural-looking patterns.

What are the benefits of cultured marble or Tyvarian marble?

Cultured and Tyvarian marble have several advantages. Unlike many other materials, we are able to produce it in large format slabs. This means you eliminate grout or joints that can be difficult to maintain and keep clean. Our cast stone slabs are permanently sealed, waterproof, and stain resistant, so cleaning is simple with cleaners you already have at home. The blend of stone and resin produces a very durable surface that will hold up for a lifetime of use. Our cast stone cultured and Tyvarian marble is also highly customizable, with over 250 designs and colors available to personalize your bathroom!

What’s the difference between Tyvarian marble and cultured marble?

Tyvarian marble is a type of cultured marble we locally produce. Using high-definition image technology and a very specialized inkset that is bonded in the layers of our raw materials, we mimic the look of natural stone and other materials. Because of this, Tyvarian marble is available in a variety of colors and styles to expand our design capabilities.

What is solid surface? What are its benefits?

 Solid surface is a material composed of a blend of natural minerals and acrylic resins. It’s designed to mimic the appearance of natural stone, such as granite or marble, but with added benefits like a non-porous surface that resists stains, bacteria, and mold. Solid surface materials are durable, easy to clean, and can be seamlessly molded into countertops, sinks, and backsplashes without visible joints or grout lines. This makes solid surface a popular choice for both residential and commercial applications where hygiene, durability, and a sleek, modern look are priorities.

How many design options and patterns are available?

We can produce over 250 different color patterns, creating character, depth, and interest that mimic natural stones and a variety of other beautiful patterns and designs. View our Tyvarian Catalog to explore some of your possible marble selections. To explore possible selections for solid surfaces, visit the LX HIMACS catalog.

Do you provide demo or installation services?

If you’d like help on your DIY project, we can assist in the process of preparing your space. Our install teams take care of demolition and light remodel of your current shower, tub, countertops, etc. With a long history in the Valley, we also have developed relationships with excellent trade partners to help with plumbing, shower glass, or a more substantial remodel of an entire bathroom, kitchen, or other space.

Do you remodel with ADA, VA, or specific needs?

We can help customize your bathroom to make it safer and more accessible to people’s needs. We can help implement seats, safety grab bars, lower thresholds to step over in accessing your shower, and more. Our products are also much easier to use and care for than other shower and countertop options. Please reach out to us to learn more about our accessibility capabilities.
