Correcting Mismatched Natural Stone

 
After: How to fix mismatched natural stone

THE CHALLENGE

The BMW Motorrad division at the BMW dealership in Manhattan, NY has one entrance that required some maintenance, including natural stone replacement. In cases like this, it truly may be impossible to match natural stone without our process, as there are naturally color shifts in quarries, or even veins in certain quarries where natural stone was unique to that particular vein and will never again appear the same color from production run to production run. This is to be expected, but sometimes, it becomes a problem. Whether natural stone is mined from the earth as entirely an undesirable color, or whether unsightly veins of color or unwanted shifts in areas of color are found in even the highest end natural stone, causing delays and frustration for Designers, Contractors and Owners alike, we can help. We do recommend that installers choose stone in the same texture and size as the original stone, and our elite team will provide an exact match for natural stone for entire panels or walls of stone just like this one.
