- Please include all necessary information on request (i.e. material: width, length and thickness, finish and edge treatment). In order to accurately quote this project; please list material, piece count, width x length x thickness (all in inches), top finish and edge finish, example: 1 PIECE BROWN WAVE, 42”x95”x2” THERMAL TOP, ROCKED 1 LONG 2 SHORT
- Plywood, luan or durable plastic templates require job name, material, thickness, edge treatments and finishes as well as your company name, contact name, and contact information. All templates will be cut to the finished size of the template. Templates made out of other materials including tar paper or cardboard are not acceptable. Additional fees will apply to reconstruct sub-standard templates.

Finish Treatment
Thermaled – The Thermal finish is produced by applying a high-temperature torch to the surface of the stone leaving a rough-textured finish. Highly skid-resistant, this finish is an excellent choice for walking surfaces.
Honed – A smooth, satin surface without reflection, the Honed finish shows the full color of the stone. It is produced on the same equipment as a polished finish, however, the honing process ends prior to the buffing stage.
Polished (granites only) – The Polished finish is a highly reflective, mirror gloss finish. The full color, depth and crystal structure of the stone is visible. A polished finish seals surface pores and is therefore nearly impervious to chemical wear and weather.
Edge Treatments
Pencil – A penciled edge resembles the end of a pencil eraser with a slight radius.
Chamfered – A chamfered edge is 45 ° cut into the edge of the stone. The deeper the cut, the wider the bevel face is.
Ease – This edge treatment is very common and offers a clean and simple look. Easing an edge offers a square flat face with the sharp edge on top rounded slightly. Sometimes, the eased edge is rounded enough to be called a quarter round edge.
Full or Half Bull-nose – The full bull-nose offers perhaps the most contemporary look. A side view of full bull-nose shows the shape of a half circle. The full bull-nose is gentle on the body and has no edges to chip. The half bull-nose edge can also be called the round-over because instead of being squared off, it is rounded over.
Rock Face – A Rock Faced edge finish is produced by striking the stone surface with a chisel leaving a rough natural edge finish.
Thermal – The thermal finish is produced by applying a high-temperature torch to the surface of the stone leaving a rough-textured finish.
