Our Vaughan Fabrication Shop
Everything we install is fabricated in our own 8,000 sq ft shop in Vaughan. That is the difference between us and a showroom: nobody else touches your slab between the yard and your kitchen. Under one roof we run a Park Industries Pro-Edge CNC bridge saw, a Flow Mach 500 waterjet, a Marmo Meccanica edge polisher and an LT-2D3D laser templater.
Quartzite is hard to fabricate. It is a metamorphic sandstone around 7 Mohs, harder than a steel knife and harder than most granites. Cut it fast and dry and it heats up and develops micro-fissures that turn into chips later. That is why the tooling matters.
What We Fabricate
Laser Templating
The LT-2D3D laser templater captures cabinets, walls and appliances to 1/16 inch. No plywood templates that warp in the truck. Price: $350-$650 for about 50 sqft.
CNC Cutting
Every piece, sink cut-out and faucet hole runs on the Park Industries CNC with flooded diamond blades that keep the stone cool.
Mitred Edges
A strip of stone joined at 45 degrees to make the top look thicker. Cut on the waterjet so the vein wraps the edge cleanly.
Bull Nose Edges
Half and full bullnose profiles, shaped and polished on the Marmo Meccanica line for a soft, traditional finish.
Eased Edges
A square edge with lightly rounded corners. Our standard, included on every job, and the most chip-resistant everyday edge.
Our Equipment
| Machine | What It Does | Why It Matters |
|---|---|---|
| Park Industries Pro-Edge CNC | Straight cuts, cut-outs, profiles | Flooded diamond cutting prevents micro-fissures |
| Flow Mach 500 waterjet | Mitres, curves, outlets, intricate shapes | Precise 45-degree bevels, no heat stress |
| Marmo Meccanica polisher | Edge polishing through 60 to 3000 grit | Consistent, even edge finish |
| LT-2D3D laser templater | Digital site templates | 1/16 inch accuracy, no warped plywood |
| CAD nesting software | Places pieces on slab photos | Shows vein placement, reduces waste |

Slab Yield and CAD Nesting
A typical kitchen loses about 32% of the slab to offcuts. Good nesting brings that down. A good slab-yield cut is like a Thanksgiving turkey carve: anyone can hack it, but if you want breast and drumstick both intact, you want it done right. We show you the nest on a photo of your actual slab before cutting, including where each seam lands and which offcuts could become a vanity or a laundry counter.
For Designers and Trades
We fabricate for kitchen designers, renovation companies and general contractors across the GTA. Send drawings or book a laser template, and we will return a CAD nest and a firm quote. We can install with our own WSIB-cleared crews or hand over finished pieces with a seam plan. For bigger jobs, see commercial quartzite countertops, and for one-off shapes, custom quartzite countertops.
Visiting the Shop
Private client slab inspection is by appointment. Many clients come to see their slab on the A-frame before the first cut, and some stay to watch the waterjet work. After fabrication, our quartzite installation crews take it from there.
