premier choices for modern countertops because they combine exceptional durability, aesthetic versatility and a high return on your investment,” Derek explains. Choosing between the two often comes down to personal preference. Granite offers a one-of-a-kind natural appearance. “It’s mined from the earth, so every slab is different than the next,” Derek says. It’s also known for its heat resistance and durability. Quartz, on the other hand, is known for its low maintenance and uniform appearance. “Quartz provides superior hygiene and flexible designs with consistent patterns,” he adds. From the first showroom visit to the final installation, Sloan Stone Design guides customers through every step. Clients begin with the sales team, many of whom have design backgrounds. “We like to have you bring in your cabinetry, paint selection, flooring, whatever you have, to help pull the full vision together,” Derek says. The process then moves through coordination, laser templating, digital layouts, fabrication, and installation. “Combining advanced technology with skilled tradespeople is absolutely essential in the modern granite industry,” Derek says. “Technology does not replace labour but acts as a multiplier, allowing unprecedented precision, speed and customization.” For Derek, helping customers create their dream spaces is what keeps the work exciting. “It’s amazing to see the capabilities of the material ever changing and working with clients to make the vision they dreamed up come to life.” Whether you’re updating a kitchen, bathroom, or creating a custom stone feature, Sloan Stone Design invites homeowners to visit the showroom and explore the possibilities.
Since opening its doors in 2010, Sloan Stone Design has built a reputation for quality craftsmanship, innovative technology, and exceptional customer service. Under the leadership of Derek Sloan, President of Sloan Stone Design, the company has grown steadily while remaining focused on the values it was founded on. “My original vision was always to grow slowly in order to focus on the quality and customer service,” Derek explains. “We wanted to be the best, not always the biggest.” Despite launching during a challenging time for the building industry, the company quickly gained momentum. Derek says the growth was faster than expected, even while the construction market was experiencing a downturn. “During this time, we were able to maintain our core values and keep our company focus in line,” he says. “We have continued to grow year over year and are constantly investing in new machinery and people.” Today, Sloan Stone Design operates with two main divisions. One focuses on everyday countertop projects, while the other specializes in custom work. “We are now moving the company into two separate lanes,” Derek says. “The first lane is our everyday countertops, and the second lane is our custom division focusing on fireplaces, showers, and working with all kinds of challenging stones and projects.” Granite and quartz remain the most popular countertop choices, and for good reason. “Granite and quartz are the
