Why is Your In-home Selection So Important?
Viewing granite in a variety of positions, alongside your cabinets, flooring, decor, and most importantly, the natural and artificial lighting of your home, is essential when selecting your granite countertop colour.
Granite slabs stored vertically in warehouse lighting don't look the same once installed horizontally on your cabinets. NMG'S large granite samples are cut directly from our in-stock slabs, allowing you to see exactly how the colour you choose will look in the lighting of your home.
Your satisfaction is important to us. Experiencing the colour, shade and dye-lot of the actual material in your home, before it is fabricated and installed, is so important when making such an investment, and to the enjoyment of your granite for years to come.
Personal In-Home Consultation...
Your service begins with a personalized, in-home consultation, where you are presented with a stunning selection of colours, direct from Northern Ontario's largest inventory of granite slabs.
Your no obligation in-home estimate includes choice of granite colour, edge profile, all hole cut outs, fabrication, delivery, installation and warranty of your granite countertop.
Templates are taken to ensure a perfect fit, and your countertops are custom fabricated at our family operated shop in Temagami. Your granite countertops are professionally installed, on time, and we proudly warranty our work.
Northern Marble carries over 125 slabs in inventory, ensuring on-time delivery and installation of your superior quality custom fabricated countertops. Each slab is hand-selected for the finest grade and quality of granite available.

HOW DO I TAKE CARE OF MY COUNTERTOPS?
Granite should, and in most cases will, be the last countertop surface a person will buy, providing a strong return on your investment.
Clean stone surfaces with a few drops of neutral cleaner or a mild liquid dishwashing detergent and warm water. Too much cleaner or soap may leave a film and cause streaks. Do not use products that contain lemon, vinegar or other acids on marble or limestone. Rinse the surface thoroughly after washing with the soap solution and dry with a soft cloth.
DO I NEED TO SEAL MY GRANITE?
Quality fabricators will seal (and, if required, re-seal) your granite countertop. Northern Marble & Granite treats your granite countertop with a premium grade oliophobic (resistant to water & oil based stains) impregnator (sealer). With normal household use, your countertop will have supreme durability and resistance to stains for years to come, and should not require resealing. NMG proudly stands behind our product and workmanship and we are pleased to be of assistance should your countertop ever require follow up care.
Before 1995 there were very few quality penetrating sealers on the market and there were very few cases of staining. Both prior to and after the availability of penetrating sealers, no cases of food poisoning, radon, or food preparation issues associated with treated or untreated granites have been reported.
If a homeowner cleans their countertops after each meal, they will rarely, if ever, have staining or cleanability issues with granite. This being said, many granite countertops receive additional benefit from being sealed. Once properly sealed, the stone will be more resistant against everyday dirt and spills. That benefit is the further reduction of moisture migration into an already moisture resistant surface.
WHY DO MY COUNTERTOPS REQUIRE SEAMS?
The average size of most granite slabs is 10 feet by 5 1/2 feet. The physical limitations of slab sizes and installation practicalities require joints in counters. The location of joints will be discussed upon measure/template of your countertop.
WHAT ABOUT REPORTS OF RADON IN GRANITE?
Recent media reports have called into question the safety of granite countertops. Fueled by the manufacturers of competing synthetic products, these misleading and inaccurate reports have made granite and radon a confusing and emotional issue for consumers, many of whom are now concerned about installing granite countertops in their homes or are worried about the countertops they already have. The scope of these concerns is unfounded.
Most indoor radon comes into the building from the soil or rock beneath it. A considerable amount of research has been published in peer-reviewed scientific literature and all of it comes to the same conclusion: the levels of radon coming off a granite countertop are not excessive and not showing any risk for the population in their homes. Much like paint fumes do, radon generally dilutes harmlessly into a home's air. "To get even close to the type of dangerous levels of radon exposure that's been reported in news articles recently, a consumer would have to completely seal off the room, stay in that room 24/7 - for 72 years."
The truth of the matter is that granite is a safe product. It's been used for thousands of years and the relationship between granite and radon has been studied for years and years. How safe is granite? There have been mathematical models developed that show that one could live in an all-granite home or building, including sleeping on granite, for an entire year and still be within very safe levels of exposure. Please contact us for more information to help you understand granites, radioactivity and natural stone.
