         <title>Natural Stone Fabricator Must: License and Insurance</title>
         <link>http://www.articlesnatch.com/Article/Natural-Stone-Fabricator-Must--License-and-Insurance/2242525</link>
         <description>There's more than the price to consider when selecting a natural stone fabricator. Sure, we would all like to get the best price for what we want, but sometimes we think that what's best is the lowest price out there. In terms of granite and marble slab fabricators, the lowest priced isn't necessarily the best. And to find the right one, two things that you should look for are license and insurance. 

One would think that license is a basic requirement among all granite and marble fabricators, but there are fly-by-night fabricators out there. The advantage that these offer is the low price of the installation. But that low price tag carries a risk: most of them are not licensed. That means, they have not been verified and cleared by local and national regulations regarding their line of business. These fabricators may not have the necessary qualifications and follow standards set by their profession. 

Connected with licensing is insurance. Fabricators that carry a license would almost always carry general liability insurance and workers' comp. Working with granite and marble slabs also entails risk on your property and on the workers themselves. Having insurance covers those risks.  **End Summary**  Topics: <![CDATA[<a href="http://www.articlesnatch.com/topic/granite" rel="tag">granite</a>]]> <![CDATA[<a href="http://www.articlesnatch.com/topic/marble" rel="tag">marble</a>]]> <![CDATA[<a href="http://www.articlesnatch.com/topic/marble+slab" rel="tag">marble slab</a>]]> <![CDATA[<a href="http://www.articlesnatch.com/topic/marble+slabs" rel="tag">marble slabs</a>]]> <![CDATA[<a href="http://www.articlesnatch.com/topic/marblecountertop" rel="tag">marblecountertop</a>]]><![CDATA[<p>]]> About the Author: <![CDATA[<br>]]> Find more &lt;a href=&quot; http://www.marblecityca.com/&quot; &gt;&lt;strong&gt;granite&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/a&gt; and &lt;a href=&quot; http://www.marblecityca.com/&quot; &gt;&lt;strong&gt;marble slab&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/a&gt; fabricator selection tips at MarbleCityCa.com.

         <title>Natural Charm or Simply Cracks- Trust Your Gut</title>
         <link>http://www.articlesnatch.com/Article/Natural-Charm-or-Simply-Cracks--Trust-Your-Gut/2218512</link>
         <description>It's not uncommon to find some imperfections on natural stone when you're out shopping for a marble or granite top. Suppliers and fabricators of marble and granite countertops would say that any crack or discoloration is part of the natural charm and beauty of the stones. In most occasions they are right. But how would you know? 

It's natural to be picky when it comes to marble and granite countertops. After all, they cost a pretty penny and you're going to live with them for the rest of your life. Here are some things to consider when looking at possible natural stone flaws. 

Cracks are indeed natural. They can be there from the start, from the quarrying process, transport, or handling. Naturally, some repair would be attempted for these. But still, look at the quality of the repair. Look at the crack from several angles, ask if repair was attempted, and what procedures were used. The use of resin and adhesive is acceptable, but if you notice any discoloration or if the crack seems too striking for you, it’s better to select another slab. 

Pits on the stone surface are acceptable, especially with granite.  **End Summary**  Topics: <![CDATA[<a href="http://www.articlesnatch.com/topic/granite+countertops" rel="tag">granite countertops</a>]]> <![CDATA[<a href="http://www.articlesnatch.com/topic/kitchen+countertops" rel="tag">kitchen countertops</a>]]> <![CDATA[<a href="http://www.articlesnatch.com/topic/kitchen+countertop" rel="tag">kitchen countertop</a>]]><![CDATA[<p>]]> About the Author: <![CDATA[<br>]]> Get the right natural stone for your granite countertops resources at MarbleCityCa.com. </description>

         <title>Installation Standards To Remember</title>
         <link>http://www.articlesnatch.com/Article/Installation-Standards-To-Remember/2218501</link>
         <description>Aside from how it looks, how do you know whether a fabricator had done a good job at the installation of your granite or marble countertop? It would be hard for a layman to know it offhand, but there are standards set by the Marble Institute of America for some allowed tolerances. 

Slab thickness

There will always be discrepancies in the slab width. The important thing is that the variance between the slabs should not be so great as to result to an uneven surface upon installation. The current standard is that the difference between the thinnest and thickest slab should not be more than 3mm. 

Lippage

Related to slab thickness is lippage. Lippage refers to the uneven surface that results between joints or seams. If the slabs are of unequal thickness, you may notice a break in the surface between the seams. Allowed lippage between the seams should not be more than 0.8 mm, and there should be none showing at the front and the rear edges of the granite or marble slab. This also means that the granite or marble slabs to be used at the seams should be of equal thickness to avoid lippage.  **End Summary**  Topics: <![CDATA[<a href="http://www.articlesnatch.com/topic/granite" rel="tag">granite</a>]]> <![CDATA[<a href="http://www.articlesnatch.com/topic/marble" rel="tag">marble</a>]]> <![CDATA[<a href="http://www.articlesnatch.com/topic/marble+slab" rel="tag">marble slab</a>]]> <![CDATA[<a href="http://www.articlesnatch.com/topic/marble+countertop" rel="tag">marble countertop</a>]]><![CDATA[<p>]]> About the Author: <![CDATA[<br>]]> Find information about ...</description>

         <title>Common Natural Stone Reinforcement Types</title>
         <link>http://www.articlesnatch.com/Article/Common-Natural-Stone-Reinforcement-Types/2218482</link>
         <description>Though natural stone applications like granite countertops are durable, that doesn’t mean you just slap them on top of the counters and be done with it. These would also need some reinforcement to keep the slab from being damaged. Especially now since some of the granite top slabs used can be thinner than slabs that you can find decades ago. Even natural stone would need some support. If you’re wondering, here are some of the common natural stone reinforcement methods.

Fiberglass Mesh

This kind of reinforcement is done by applying a coat of plastic fiberglass at the underside of the stone. This gives the stone some level of support and stability. Fabricators usually apply epoxy or polyester resin, and is done in the fabricator shop in most cases.

Rodding

Rodding is a reinforcement technique that inserts a metal or fiber glass rod on a slit cut on the stone. This is usually done on kitchen countertops with hanging sinks or stone that is protruding from the edge. The rod embedded on the stone provides a frame on which the stone rests for strength and stability. The rod is also applied with fiberglass mesh for added strength and toughness.  **End Summary**  Topics: <![CDATA[<a href="http://www.articlesnatch.com/topic/granite+countertops" rel="tag">granite countertops</a>]]> <![CDATA[<a href="http://www.articlesnatch.com/topic/kitchen+countertops" rel="tag">kitchen countertops</a>]]> <![CDATA[<a href="http://www.articlesnatch.com/topic/countertops" rel="tag">countertops</a>]]> <![CDATA[<a href="http://www.articlesnatch.com/topic/kitch" rel="tag">kitch</a>]]><![CDATA[<p>]]> About the Author: <![CDATA[<br>]]> Go to MarbleCityCa.com today to find out more about &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.marblecityca.com/&quot;&gt; kitchen countertop&lt;/a&gt; and &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.marblecityca.com/&quot;&gt;granite top&lt;/a&gt; installation tips and techniques.</description>

         <title>Common Natural Stone Maladies</title>
         <link>http://www.articlesnatch.com/Article/Common-Natural-Stone-Maladies/2190250</link>
         <description>It is said that if you know your enemy, you need not fear a hundred battles. In the case of natural stone, it helps any owner to be aware of the "enemies", or the common problems that plague natural stone like granite and marble. Once you're aware of these problems, you can also better prepare yourself with dealing with them. 
Staining 
This is the most common problem with natural stone, especially with marble. Though granite slabs are usually stain-resistant, some acids and substances can ruin the surface and color of granite. Most stains can be removed through wiping and mild detergent, but it does help to be extra careful with natural stone surfaces. You can also invest in marble and granite countertop cleaners to remove mild stains. The best solution to staining is to seal the stone regularly. 
 
Etching 
Etching is the damage on the surface due to abrasion and physical damage. Softer stones, like marble and limestone, are susceptible to etching. If you have these in your home, you could pad these surfaces for protection. For a granite kitchen , you don't have to worry much for these are naturally tough. But it doesn't hurt to exercise some care nonetheless.  **End Summary**  Topics: <![CDATA[<a href="http://www.articlesnatch.com/topic/granite+slab" rel="tag">granite slab</a>]]> <![CDATA[<a href="http://www.articlesnatch.com/topic/granite+slabs" rel="tag">granite slabs</a>]]> <![CDATA[<a href="http://www.articlesnatch.com/topic/granite+kitchen" rel="tag">granite kitchen</a>]]> <![CDATA[<a href="http://www.articlesnatch.com/topic/granite+counte" rel="tag">granite counte</a>]]><![CDATA[<p>]]> About the Author: <![CDATA[<br>]]> Learn more about &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.marblecityca.com/&quot;&gt;granite and marble&lt;/a&gt; care by going to &lt;a

         <title>Your Granite Countertops Maintenance Arsenal</title>
         <link>http://www.articlesnatch.com/Article/Your-Granite-Countertops-Maintenance-Arsenal/2022035</link>
         <description>Durable as they are granite countertops do get abused in the kitchen due to daily wear and tear. As kitchen countertops, granite gets exposed to different chemicals such as bases and acids that can affect the color, luster, and appearance of your countertops. But don't fret just yet since there are several stone care products available, and the good thing is that these are designed specifically for granite tops. We outline some of them here. 

Cleaners 

The advantage to these cleaners is that these are specially formulated to clean out water stains, grease, and other kitchen spills without affecting the granite surface. Since some regular household cleaners may contain chemicals that can ruin the granite surface, investing on granite kitchen countertop cleaners is a good idea. 

Disinfectants

Similar to cleaners, these are also designed for granite countertop use. Aside from leaving the surface undamaged, it also gets rid of germs and bacteria that may be left over after cleaning. Just be sure that what you'll get is considered safe by the EPA and FDA. 

Color Enhancer

Time is the enemy of all, including your granite countertops.  **End Summary**  Topics: <![CDATA[<a href="http://www.articlesnatch.com/topic/granite+countertops" rel="tag">granite countertops</a>]]> <![CDATA[<a href="http://www.articlesnatch.com/topic/kitchen+countertops" rel="tag">kitchen countertops</a>]]> <![CDATA[<a href="http://www.articlesnatch.com/topic/" rel="tag"></a>]]><![CDATA[<p>]]> About the Author: <![CDATA[<br>]]> Find more &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.marblecityca.com/stones/by-type/granite&quot;&gt;granite slab&lt;/a&gt; stain removal help. &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.marblecityca.com/&quot;&gt;Visit MarbleCityCa.com&lt;/a&gt; today!</description>

         <title>Some Penetrating Sealer Basics</title>
         <link>http://www.articlesnatch.com/Article/Some-Penetrating-Sealer-Basics/2022033</link>
         <description>It may not be too much to say that your granite and marble countertops can only be as good as your sealant. Though natural stone such as granite slabs are inherently tough, their porous construction makes them easy prey for stains, moisture, and damage from the inside. This can lead to a ruined granite countertop finish, discoloration, and even early damage. That's why sealing is essential for any granite kitchen. There are several types of stone sealants in the market, and here we look at penetrating sealers. 

Penetrating sealers, or also called impregnators, are sealants that goes within the pores of the natural stone and acts as a shield against stains, moisture, and liquid seepage. Compared with other sealers, penetrating sealers go below the stone's surface and provides it protection from the outside and inside. These sealers are water-resistant, and by rejecting moisture from being absorbed by the stone, it prevents corrosion and structural compromise from within the stone. 

Another advantage to using penetrating sealers is that it allows the stones to breathe. What this means is that the sealant not only keeps liquids and stains out, it also allow for trapped moisture from within the stone evaporate.  **End Summary**  Topics: <![CDATA[<a href="http://www.articlesnatch.com/topic/granite+slab" rel="tag">granite slab</a>]]> <![CDATA[<a href="http://www.articlesnatch.com/topic/granite+slabs" rel="tag">granite slabs</a>]]> <![CDATA[<a href="http://www.articlesnatch.com/topic/granite+kitchen" rel="tag">granite kitchen</a>]]><![CDATA[<p>]]> About the Author: <![CDATA[<br>]]> Find more &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.marblecityca.com/stones/by-type/granite&quot;&gt;granite slab&lt;/a&gt; stain removal help. &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.marblecityca.com/&quot;&gt;Visit MarbleCityCa.com&lt;/a&gt; today!</description>

         <title>Should You Mind Resin on Your Marble and Granite?</title>
         <link>http://www.articlesnatch.com/Article/Should-You-Mind-Resin-on-Your-Marble-and-Granite-/2022025</link>
         <description>Natural stone is supposed to be pure, and as the name goes, "natural". You would think that when you get marble and granite, it would come in its pristine state. That may be true in the past, but now you find that most natural stone are treated with resin. Now, does that lower the value or "purity" of natural stone? 

It may depend on who you ask. Purists would like to get their stones unprocessed, but there are very good and valid reasons for using resin curing on marble and granite. 

Resin curing is an industry standard for the past 10 - 15 years. Using resin resolves a lot of issues with regards to small cracks, holes, and imperfections that are naturally found in natural stone. Resin enters these cracks and reinforces the stone while also improving appearance and color. It also allows for the stone be cut in thinner slabs which helps the polishing process. And since more slabs can be generated, the cost of natural stone is also decreased. 

In the long run, resin curing makes owning marble and granite countertops more accessible to everyone.  **End Summary**  Topics: <![CDATA[<a href="http://www.articlesnatch.com/topic/granite+countertops" rel="tag">granite countertops</a>]]> <![CDATA[<a href="http://www.articlesnatch.com/topic/kitchen+countertops" rel="tag">kitchen countertops</a>]]> <![CDATA[<a href="http://www.articlesnatch.com/topic/countertops" rel="tag">countertops</a>]]><![CDATA[<p>]]> About the Author: <![CDATA[<br>]]> Find more &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.marblecityca.com/stones/by-type/granite&quot;&gt;granite slab&lt;/a&gt; stain removal help. &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.marblecityca.com/&quot;&gt;Visit MarbleCityCa.com&lt;/a&gt; today!</description>

         <title>Pros and Cons of Topical Sealers</title>
         <link>http://www.articlesnatch.com/Article/Pros-and-Cons-of-Topical-Sealers/2022021</link>
         <description>As you may well know, stone sealing is important if you want to keep your granite countertop looking new for years to come. Sealing prevents liquids and moisture from penetrating granite slabs which them prevents stains and corrosion from within the stone. One issue that a granite and marble countertop owner would face is, what sealer should he get? There are several types and one of them are topical sealers. Here, we outline the advantages and disadvantages of using a topical sealer to help you decide if it is what you need. 

Topical sealers are made from acrylic or polyurethane and are coated on the surface of natural stone. Since it's applied on top of the stone, it gives ample protection from stains, spills, and moisture. And since it's simply a coat that you spread over the stone, it's application is not that difficult and can be done by yourself. Another main advantage to topical sealers is that these are more affordable compared with other sealer types. On the aesthetic side, you can choose different finishes so you can add more style to your granite countertop should you want to.  **End Summary**  Topics: <![CDATA[<a href="http://www.articlesnatch.com/topic/granite+slab" rel="tag">granite slab</a>]]> <![CDATA[<a href="http://www.articlesnatch.com/topic/granite+slabs" rel="tag">granite slabs</a>]]> <![CDATA[<a href="http://www.articlesnatch.com/topic/granite+kitchen" rel="tag">granite kitchen</a>]]><![CDATA[<p>]]> About the Author: <![CDATA[<br>]]> Find more &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.marblecityca.com/stones/by-type/granite&quot;&gt;granite slab&lt;/a&gt; stain removal help. &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.marblecityca.com/&quot;&gt;Visit MarbleCityCa.com&lt;/a&gt; today!</description>

         <title>On Applying Poultice on Granite Slabs</title>
         <link>http://www.articlesnatch.com/Article/On-Applying-Poultice-on-Granite-Slabs/2021996</link>
         <description>If there's anything troublesome about your ownership of granite countertops, it is dealing with stains. Nothing makes you crestfallen about your granite top than seeing its beauty ruined by a stain. But then again, there are several stain removal solutions available, and one of them is the application of a poultice. As such, learning to apply a poultice to your granite kitchen countertop is a must for every owner. 

What is a poultice in the first place? It is a solution composed of an absorbent material and a cleaning agent or chemical. It is designed to absorb the stain from granite surfaces, like countertops and floors, while cleaning out the stain. 

What is it composed of? The absorbent material is usually talc powder or unbleached flour. The chemical solution can be of a range of substances, from acetone, to different cleaning solutions used at home or designed specifically for stone surfaces. The selection of the chemical cleaning solution depends mostly on the type of stone surface and the stain to be removed. To know which chemicals to use and in what amounts, there are plenty of resources online, or better yet, consult with your granite fabricator or provider.  **End Summary**  Topics: <![CDATA[<a href="http://www.articlesnatch.com/topic/granite+countertops" rel="tag">granite countertops</a>]]> <![CDATA[<a href="http://www.articlesnatch.com/topic/kitchen+countertops" rel="tag">kitchen countertops</a>]]> <![CDATA[<a href="http://www.articlesnatch.com/topic/countertops" rel="tag">countertops</a>]]><![CDATA[<p>]]> About the Author: <![CDATA[<br>]]> Find more &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.marblecityca.com/stones/by-type/granite&quot;&gt;granite slab&lt;/a&gt; stain removal help. &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.marblecityca.com/&quot;&gt;Visit MarbleCityCa.com&lt;/a&gt; today!</description>

         <title>Marble and Granite: Make Sure What You See Is What You'll Get</title>
         <link>http://www.articlesnatch.com/Article/Marble-and-Granite--Make-Sure-What-You-See-Is-What-You-ll-Get/2021981</link>
         <description>Outside of budget and installation, the other important aspect of granite and marble selection is the design and color. Aside from the multitudes of colors and grains that make it downright confusing and overwhelming to select just one, there are other things that you need to be aware of in your choice. One of them is the actual stone going to be delivered for your countertops and how the colors would actually come out in your home. 

It's not uncommon for people to comment that the stone that was delivered for their kitchen countertop is different from what they saw in the sample or catalog. Of course, the fabricator or stone provider would have mentioned that to you, but still, you feel that the difference is too striking. The reason for this is that natural stone is never made alike. The sample that you saw may have been quarried from a different slab or a different batch. If you think about it, much of the appeal of natural stone is in its uniqueness--no two slabs can be exactly alike.  **End Summary**  Topics: <![CDATA[<a href="http://www.articlesnatch.com/topic/countertops" rel="tag">countertops</a>]]> <![CDATA[<a href="http://www.articlesnatch.com/topic/kitchen+countertop" rel="tag">kitchen countertop</a>]]> <![CDATA[<a href="http://www.articlesnatch.com/topic/granite+top" rel="tag">granite top</a>]]><![CDATA[<p>]]> About the Author: <![CDATA[<br>]]> Find more &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.marblecityca.com/stones/by-type/granite&quot;&gt;granite slab&lt;/a&gt; stain removal help. &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.marblecityca.com/&quot;&gt;Visit MarbleCityCa.com&lt;/a&gt; today!</description>

         <title>Hydrophobic Vs. Oliophobic Sealers</title>
         <link>http://www.articlesnatch.com/Article/Hydrophobic-Vs--Oliophobic-Sealers/2021976</link>
         <description>If you choose penetrating sealers, the two choices that you would encounter next is whether to get a hydrophobic or oliophobic sealer. The difference is really simple: hydrophobic keeps out liquid-based substances, while oliophobic sealers keeps oil-based liquids from the stone. The difference in function is small, but their effects on your granite and marble slabs is huge, depending on the application.

Hydrophobic sealers are great for granite and marble applications that don't encounter much oil-based substances through its use. Coffee tables, sinks, and vanity areas could use hydrophobic sealers for stone care since these don't get much spills from oil-based materials. 

Oliophobic sealers are perfect for kitchen marble and granite tops since you use a lot of oil and other oil-based food and products in the kitchen. Bathrooms can also use oliophobic sealers if you regularly use bath oils when bathing. 

But when you compare the two, oliophobic sealers have the upper hand since all oliophobic sealers are also hydrophobic by default, whereas the reverse is not the same for hydrophobic sealers. One would then ask, why not make all sealers oliophobic? Doesn't that make things simpler? The answer to that is application and cost.  **End Summary**  Topics: <![CDATA[<a href="http://www.articlesnatch.com/topic/granite+top" rel="tag">granite top</a>]]> <![CDATA[<a href="http://www.articlesnatch.com/topic/granite" rel="tag">granite</a>]]> <![CDATA[<a href="http://www.articlesnatch.com/topic/marble" rel="tag">marble</a>]]> <![CDATA[<a href="http://www.articlesnatch.com/topic/marble+slab" rel="tag">marble slab</a>]]><![CDATA[<p>]]> About the Author: <![CDATA[<br>]]> Find more &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.marblecityca.com/stones/by-type/granite&quot;&gt;granite slab&lt;/a&gt; stain removal help. &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.marblecityca.com/&quot;&gt;Visit MarbleCityCa.com&lt;/a&gt; today!</description>

         <title>Granite Countertops: Safety hazard? </title>
         <link>http://www.articlesnatch.com/Article/Granite-Countertops--Safety-hazard--/2021881</link>
         <description>One of the concerns that sprung up about granite slabs and granite countertops is the possibility of these emitting harmful amounts of radon. Radon is an element that is the second leading cause for lung cancer next to cigarette smoking. As such, it has become a worry for some people when the news came out. 

But is it true? According to tests made by the EPA and the New York State Health Department, only small percentage of granite types showed radon reactions, and miniscule percentage showed values close to alarming levels. As such, it was showed that the levels are not dangerous. This is also the position of the Marble Institute of America, who also sponsored a test on all types of granite slabs for traces of radon and showed similar results. 

But does it clear all causes for alarm? With the rise of granite countertop ownership, it was supposed that this increase in number would have a cumulative effect on radon levels. One can say that personal granite and marble ownership would not cause any hazard, but if more than enough people in the neighborhood have granite slabs in their homes, the amount could be significant.  **End Summary**  Topics: <![CDATA[<a href="http://www.articlesnatch.com/topic/granite+slab" rel="tag">granite slab</a>]]> <![CDATA[<a href="http://www.articlesnatch.com/topic/granite+slabs" rel="tag">granite slabs</a>]]> <![CDATA[<a href="http://www.articlesnatch.com/topic/granite+kitchen" rel="tag">granite kitchen</a>]]> <![CDATA[<a href="http://www.articlesnatch.com/topic/" rel="tag"></a>]]><![CDATA[<p>]]> About the Author: <![CDATA[<br>]]> Find more &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.marblecityca.com/stones/by-type/granite&quot;&gt;granite slab&lt;/a&gt; stain removal help. &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.marblecityca.com/&quot;&gt;Visit MarbleCityCa.com&lt;/a&gt; today!</description>

         <title>Fixing Etches on A Marble Surfaces</title>
         <link>http://www.articlesnatch.com/Article/Fixing-Etches-on-A-Marble-Surfaces/2021869</link>
         <description>Given time, marble and granite would suffer some etches and scratches on their surfaces. Whether it's from age or unavoidable accidents within the house such as spills and dropped items, getting scratches on your granite or marble slab is a natural occurrence. But don't call your marble restorer just yet. There are still some things you can do on your own to bring back the smooth and flawless texture of your marble slabs. 

But what are the causes of etching and scratching on your marble countertop? We mentioned some causes above: spills, especially those acidic in nature, can cause pockmarks and scratches on the surface. This is because marble is a calcareous stone, so it's weak against acids. Aside from that, marble is softer compared with granite, and so dropped knives or pans can easily chip or scratch the marble's surface. 

What you can do as a do-it-yourself fix is to use coarse sandpaper or a 000 steel wool to even out the surface. For sandpaper, be sure to start with the lowest grade, which is 120, then work your way up onto the coarseness level as needed by the marble's texture.  **End Summary**  Topics: <![CDATA[<a href="http://www.articlesnatch.com/topic/granite" rel="tag">granite</a>]]> <![CDATA[<a href="http://www.articlesnatch.com/topic/marble" rel="tag">marble</a>]]> <![CDATA[<a href="http://www.articlesnatch.com/topic/marble+slab" rel="tag">marble slab</a>]]> <![CDATA[<a href="http://www.articlesnatch.com/topic/marble+slabs" rel="tag">marble slabs</a>]]> <![CDATA[<a href="http://www.articlesnatch.com/topic/" rel="tag"></a>]]><![CDATA[<p>]]> About the Author: <![CDATA[<br>]]> Find more &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.marblecityca.com/stones/by-type/granite&quot;&gt;granite slab&lt;/a&gt; stain removal help. &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.marblecityca.com/&quot;&gt;Visit MarbleCityCa.com&lt;/a&gt; today!</description>
