Best Product: Recently, we began offering large porcelain slabs for bathrooms and kitchens. It’s such a cool product. We have a manufacturer here that produces them, and we’re using their display. Large slabs are perfect for people who don’t want grout lines. Even when we’re using the best grout available, there’s still maintenance, and mildew builds up. This solves that problem. Also, it ends up being less expensive than a natural stone slab and should be easier to work with and cut. The large slabs are a new product for us that we’re looking forward to installing. On the trend side, we’ve seen whites, grays, and neutrals for a long time, but I think we’re going to start incorporating more color.
