Celebrating 40 years in business, the company launched in 1977 as a tile dis- tributor before branching out to include flooring and countertops. In 2013, new owners Jeremy and Lindy Grace Mathison bought the business, focusing their attention on innovative technology, environmental sustainability and top-notch products. As a result, they have become industry leaders in tile distri- bution as well as in fabrication and installation of granite, marble and quartz countertops. These beautiful products can also enhance fireplaces, backsplashes, furniture and endless other creative endeavours. Committed to innovation, the Mathisons invested in digital- ly automated machinery that cuts and polishes granite and quartz much faster than the previous manual process. As a result, they increased production capacity threefold while reducing their environmental footprint at the same time. using digital templates instead of cardboard, and offering 3-D renderings of projects, further minimized environmen- tal waste. In addition, their advanced water filtration system has reduced their water usage by more than 80 per cent. Western Marble, Granite & Tile also offers a popular vanity top program using the impressive selection of remnants they have in stock. This all-inclusive program is ideal for cus- tomers who want vanity tops between 30 and 60 inches. Three different price levels are available between $500 and $600, including the stone, the fabrication, an undermount sink, local delivery and installation. Sink upgrades are avail- able for an additional $20 to $70, and supply-only packages offer a savings of $75. Stay tuned to learn about the official opening date of the new expanded facility, where the selection is also expand- ing to include plumbing fixtures.
