Please send an email to sales@prestale.ca with all of your contact information, including your shop address, approximate monthly usage, most used colors and gauge, explaining that you are a fabricator and would like to work with us. We will contact you with all the necessary information.

We do not sell any slabs to the public, nor do we divulge wholesale pricing information to the public.

We can take care of most deliveries ourselves, however we do work with third party transport companies that can take care of our long haul / multi bundle deliveries. Please send us an inquiry if you wish to get long haul delivery rates.

We currently have exclusive agreement with Lotte Advanced Materials for distribution of their Radianz Quartz Surfaces in the province of Quebec and Eastern Ontario.

Marble is a metamorphic rock. Its basic ingredient, Limestone, is a sedimentary form of calcium, which is found naturally in the earth. The Limestone undergoes intense heat and pressure within the earth to be formed into what we know as marble.

Marble, although beautiful and durable, is porous and easily destroyed by any type of acid. Marble requires more maintenance and it is recommended to use a good quality sealer on Marble countertops on a yearly basis.

Quartz is a hard crystalline mineral which is found abundantly all over the Earth in a variety of forms. It is the most common mineral on Earth, making up 12% of the Earth's crust by volume, and is used in a wide variety of applications. Quartz slabs are artificially made using a complex manufacturing process. The majority of the slabs are made up of natural Quartz. A small percentage of resin and color pigments are used in order to shape the Quartz into slabs and add various colors to the mix.

Granite is the traditional favorite kitchen counter top material for its unique colors and patterns, proven durability and lasting value. A Granite counter top is of course a natural stone that is heat, scratch and stain resistant and nearly impossible to damage if you follow some simple procedures for cleaning and maintaining the granite countertops. Granite is a good choice for any project inside or outside including walls and floors.

Engineered stone, or quartz counter tops are an excellent product manufactured from 93% quartz (which comes from granite) and a binding resin. Quartz is the relatively new kitchen countertop material famous for it's extremely uniform color palette.

Each countertop option has excellent and in many ways similar properties however they each excel in certain categories.

Granite excels in:

• Heat resistance
• Scratch resistance
• Shine
• Natural and extravagant color variations

Quartz excels in:

• Flex resistance
• Non Porous
• Easy Maintenance
• Uniformity of color and special colors that are not available in nature

Because granite is very hard stone that's formed at very high temperatures deep in the earth, its polish is not subject to etching by household acids, or scratching by knives and pots and pans. It's unaffected by typical kitchen heat such as hot pans, or spilled liquid.

Like any solid surface, high impact blows can harm granite. Because of its crystalline structure, it can chip if subjected to sharp hard objects. Unsealed, granite can absorb stains such as oil, which can ultimately cause dark spots or discoloration. Heat from pots and pans or burning liquids will not affect granite under normal circumstances.

Granite is called "honed" when the polishing process is halted just before a reflective shiny surface is achieved. This gives a softer, matte appearance to the stone. Some fabricators can hone polished granite if they have special equipment to remove the polished surface, but this can sometimes result in wheel marks from the polishing head.

Granite, which is crystalline in structure, always has tiny pits - spaces between the various mineral crystals. You don't see them on a larger piece because the overall appearance is polished and mirror-like. Granite sometimes has natural fissures as well, which may look like cracks, but are not structural defects and are a naturally occurring result of the immense heat and pressure which formed the granite eons ago. These characteristics are part of the natural beauty of stone and will not impair the function or durability of the material.

We import our slabs from Brazil, India and Italy which are the world's three largest granite slab producers and exporters. We have long standing relationships and work with several suppliers in each country many of which are owners / operators of quarries and have direct access to the raw material.

Monday to Friday from 9:30 am to 5:30 pm. Saturday from 10:00 AM to 1:00 PM. You may call us to take an appointment if you wish to come at any other day and time, including nights, weekends and holidays.

Unfortunately as a company policy, we do not refer homeowners to any fabricators. Mainly because we deal with almost all the fabricators in Montreal and surrounding arias, including Ottawa, Quebec City, Stanstead and Sherbrooke. We do not give any one fabricator preferential treatment in the form of referrals.

You can come and see the material we have in stock, after which you will have to contact your fabricator to get a quotation for your specific plan, using our specific slab. We do not provide any quotations, only your fabricator will be able to give you a quote for the job.

We are distributors and do not sell to the public, mainly because:

1. We work on volume and deal with companies that purchase dozens of slabs per month.
2. Special equipment and machinery is needed in order to manipulate the slabs and cut / polish the granite. The general public does not have access to this equipment and machinery.
3. In order to transform slabs into countertops, special expertise and know how are required. Only professional experienced fabricators and/or designers/contractors who work with these fabricators possess these expertise and not home owners nor slab distributors.

No we do not! None of the slab distributors based in Montreal and even all of eastern North America own any of their own Granite quarries. Some distributors claim that they own their own quarries. They are not specific with what quarries they own and make it sound like they own quarries of all the granites and marbles that they have. This is just a ruse to mislead the consumer in thinking that they are something more than they actually are. They might own some obscure marble quarry in the middle east which produces colors that they don’t even carry! In any case, no slab distributor in eastern North America owns any granite quarries.
