How to get countertop remnants? Looking to upgrade your space with natural stone but want to stay budget-conscious? Countertop remnants might be the perfect solution. These leftover pieces of granite, marble, quartzite, and other materials are ideal for smaller projects—and they’re typically offered at a fraction of the cost of full slabs.
Here’s how to find and make the most of natural stone remnants:
1. Understand What Remnants Are
Remnants are the leftover sections of stone slabs that remain after a larger countertop job is completed. They come in a wide variety of sizes, colors, and materials—perfect for projects like:
-
Bathroom vanities
-
Laundry room counters
-
Fireplace surrounds
-
Tabletops
-
Kitchen islands or bar tops (depending on size)
2. Visit Local Stone Yards or Fabricators
Many stone suppliers and fabricators keep remnants on hand. Since we specialize in natural stone remnants, we welcome walk-ins to browse our on-site inventory. You’ll be able to see and feel the pieces up close—and you might find a hidden gem that’s perfect for your space.
3. Call Ahead or Browse Online
Before visiting, give the supplier a call or check their website (if available). Some fabricators list their remnant inventory online or post frequent updates on social media. It’s also a good way to ask:
-
What materials they have in stock
-
What sizes are available
-
If they offer cutting or installation services
4. Know Your Measurements
Since remnants are limited in size, it’s important to come prepared with the dimensions of your project. Having measurements on hand helps you quickly determine whether a remnant will work for your space—and it saves you from falling in love with a piece that’s too small.
5. Be Flexible With Color and Pattern
Remnants are sold as-is, so there may be fewer options than with full slabs. If you’re open to exploring different stones and patterns, you’ll have a much easier time finding a great match. Sometimes, a unique remnant can even inspire the entire look of your room.
6. Ask About Fabrication and Installation
Some remnant suppliers offer in-house cutting, polishing, and installation. Others may recommend a trusted partner. If you’re buying a remnant from us, we’re happy to help you through the fabrication process or connect you with a local pro.
7. Act Fast
Because remnants are one-of-a-kind, they tend to go quickly—especially popular stones like marble or exotic granite. If you find a piece you like, don’t wait too long to reserve it.
