Upload your room. See the slab in it.
Take a photo of the space, choose any stone from our live inventory, and watch it appear on your own counters in about a minute. Built in house, running on the same floor you will walk.
See your countertop before you choose it.
Photograph the space
A phone photo of your kitchen, bath or bar is enough. Straight on, with the counters visible, works best.
Pick your slab
Choose from the stone we actually have in stock. Swap between them as often as you like.
Bring it to the showroom
Save what you like, then come see the real slab. A render is a starting point, never the final word on a natural material.
A render is an approximation, and natural stone varies from slab to slab even within the same material. The only way to judge a specific slab, its veining, its exact color, is to stand in front of the real thing on our Austin floor.
A few seconds of framing make the render worth trusting.
Straight on beats an angle nearly every time. Stand back far enough that the whole counter is in frame, keep the camera level, and avoid getting so close that the perspective bends the lines of your cabinets. Natural daylight, or your kitchen’s normal lighting, gives a truer read than a flash aimed straight at a shiny surface. If your counters are cluttered, clear them first, the tool works from what it can see, so the more of the actual surface that shows in the photo, the more of it we can cover convincingly.
It’s a preview, not a promise.
A render is very good at showing you scale and general mood: whether a bold pattern feels too busy in your space, whether a warm stone reads well against your cabinets, whether a dramatic vein pattern suits your layout. It is not as good at showing you the exact color, sheen, or the precise path of the veining you will actually get, because natural stone varies slab to slab even within one material name, and a screen can only approximate what a slab looks like under real light. Treat what you see as a strong lean toward yes or no, not a final decision.
The same slab looks different by the window than under a cabinet light.
Stone reads differently depending on the light hitting it and the angle you are viewing it from, sometimes dramatically so. A cool marble can look almost warm under afternoon sun, and a busy quartzite can settle down and read as calm under soft overhead lighting. That is true of the real slab in our warehouse just as much as it is true of the render on your screen, which is exactly why the final look, and the final decision, belongs on our floor, under the same kind of light your kitchen actually gets.
Save your renders, then bring them to our Austin showroom.
A render is a useful thing to hand a designer or a builder early in a project, it gives everyone a shared starting point for the conversation instead of a verbal description. It is just as useful walking through our gallery: pull it up next to the real slab, compare it against your cabinet door or your floor sample in person, and make the final call standing in front of the actual stone.
