Quartzite islands run $2,800-$9,500 installed. Taj Mahal, Cristallo, Mont Blanc, Sea Pearl and Super White are in stock.

It is also where planning matters most. The size of the island, the slab size available, where the seating overhang goes and how it is supported all have to line up before we cut. Every island we build is natural quartzite, a metamorphic sandstone around 7 Mohs that resists acids and handles heat past 300C. It takes homework, baking, hot slow cookers and the odd spilled glass of wine. ## Types of Quartzite Islands We Fabricate ### Single-Slab Islands No seam at all. Standard slabs cover islands up to about 9 by 4 feet. Jumbo slabs, around 10.5 by 5.5 feet, cover bigger islands. We check jumbo stock across our yards before you commit to a size. ### Bookmatched Island Tops When an island is bigger than one slab, bookmatching turns the seam into a feature. Two consecutive slabs mirror across the centre so the veins meet like an open book. ### Seating Overhangs A 10-12 inch overhang works with 3cm stone on most quartzites. For deeper seating, we add steel flat bar hidden in the cabinet top or decorative corbels. ### Waterfall-Ready Islands If you want the stone to run to the floor, we plan the waterfall panels from the same slab so the vein continues.

All rates are on quartzite cost Toronto [/quartzite-cost/ →](/quartzite-cost/) . ## Best Stones for Islands - ** Taj Mahal [/taj-mahal-quartzite/ →](/taj-mahal-quartzite/) :** the most requested island stone in the GTA. - ** Cristallo [/cristallo-quartzite/ →](/cristallo-quartzite/) :** translucent and backlit for a true showpiece. - ** Super White [/super-white-quartzite/ →](/super-white-quartzite/) :** marble look with bold grey movement. - ** Sea Pearl [/sea-pearl-quartzite/ →](/sea-pearl-quartzite/) :** soft colour that suits family kitchens. ## Getting a Big Slab Into Your Home We measure doors, halls, stairs and elevator cabs at templating. Our crew carries jumbo slabs on A-frames and vacuum lifters, and for condos we book the freight elevator and loading dock. In Humber Bay Shores towers, elevator cab size sometimes means a planned seam; we tell you at templating, not on install day. ## Caring for a Quartzite Island Use trivets for cast iron as a habit, keep cutting boards out and wipe oil the same day. Reseal every 18 months, which takes about 30 minutes on an island. For daily routines, see our quartzite maintenance and care [/quartzite-maintenance-care/ →](/quartzite-maintenance-care/) page. Straight Talk ## What Actually Stops Toronto Homeowners From Booking Kitchen Island In our opinion, these four questions decide most bookings. Here are the straight answers. ### "Isn't a quartzite island a big splurge?" In our opinion, the island is the one place a splurge pays back. It is the surface everyone sees and leans on. A quartzite island from $2,800 can even let you save on the perimeter with a simpler stone. ### "Why not quartz for a big island?" Islands collect hot trays, slow cookers and sunlight from big windows. Quartz resin can scorch near 150C and yellow. Quartzite handles both. ### "Will the overhang crack or chip?" Unsupported overhangs crack. We follow overhang limits for 3cm stone and add steel flat bar or corbels beyond them. Edges are eased and CNC-cut to resist chips. ### "Does such a big surface need lots of sealing?" One Dry-Treat Stain-Proof application covers the whole island for about 18 months. Resealing an island takes about 30 minutes.

Precision Workflow ## How Our Kitchen Island Process Works, 5 Steps 1. 1 ### Step 1: Jumbo Slab Hand-Selection A seam-free island needs a jumbo slab. We search Stone Tile, Ciot and Marsala for slabs big enough, or reserve consecutive slabs for bookmatching, and check each for fissures. 2. 2 ### Step 2: Laser Templating & Overhang Plan Our LT-2D3D laser templater maps the island to 1/16 inch. We mark overhang depth, stool positions, prep sink and outlet locations, and spec steel support where needed. 3. 3 ### Step 3: Park Industries CNC & Waterjet Cutting Large island pieces cut on a dry blade can develop cracks across the middle. We cut on the flooded Park Industries CNC and mitre aprons or waterfall ends on the Flow Mach 500. 4. 4 ### Step 4: Hand-Polishing & Sealing by Marco Marco Delvecchio checks vein orientation and any bookmatch alignment before the Marmo Meccanica polish, then the island gets a full Dry-Treat Stain-Proof seal. 5. 5 ### Step 5: Clean 1-Day GTA Installation A WSIB-cleared crew carries the top in on vacuum lifters, fixes steel supports, sets the stone level and bonds any seam with Akemi colour-matched epoxy.

Quartzite islands run $2,800-$9,500 installed in CAD. A standard 28-36 sqft island in Mont Blanc, Fantasy Brown or grey quartzite is about $2,800-$4,800. Taj Mahal and Super White islands run $3,200-$6,500. Jumbo single-slab islands over 10 ft and bookmatched islands sit at $6,500-$9,500. Waterfall ends add $1,800-$6,500. Every quote itemises slab, fabrication, edge, supports, sealing, delivery and install. ### How big can a quartzite island be without a seam? Standard slabs cover islands up to about 9 ft by 4 ft. Jumbo slabs reach roughly 10.5 ft by 5.5 ft. Beyond that, you need a seam or bookmatching. ### How much overhang can a quartzite island have? With 3cm quartzite, about 10-12 inches is fine unsupported on most stones. Beyond that, we add steel flat bar or corbels. Deep seating overhangs of 14-18 inches are common with hidden steel. ### What is bookmatching on an island? Two consecutive slabs are opened like a book so the veins mirror across a centre seam. It turns a seam into a feature and is popular on large islands. ### Can an island have a prep sink and cooktop? Yes. We CNC-cut sink and cooktop openings, reinforce narrow sections with steel rod and plan outlets with your electrician. ### How do you get a huge slab into my house? We measure doors, halls and stairs at templating. Our crew uses vacuum lifters and A-frames, and for condos we confirm elevator cab size. ### Should the island match the perimeter? Not necessarily. A statement island in Taj Mahal or Cristallo with a quieter perimeter is a popular way to manage budget. ### Can the island have waterfall ends? Yes. We mitre waterfall panels on the Flow Mach 500 so the vein runs down the side. See our waterfall edge page. ### How long does an island take? About 2 weeks from template for in-stock stones, 3 weeks for bookmatched or jumbo slabs. ### What edge is best on an island? Eased is practical. A mitred edge makes the top look thick and solid and is very popular on islands.
