Be Heavy or Be Light? When you are a stone shop already producing 3cm stone slab showers, it would make sense to pivot to a lighter, thinner material that makes your installer's lives easier. That would be the easiest decision for Affordable Quality Marble and Granite's Chris Hildebrand of Aiken, South Carolina could make while being an early adopter of porcelain and ultra-compact materials. When Dekton came knocking in the early 2010's, the hardest part was adapting his equipment and finding the right tooling. What are the suggestions he gives to other stone countertop shops, is wood an appropriate substrate, and how his sales team is able to become educated on porcelain are just a few topics we cover in this episode.
