Imagistone

What is Imagistone?

Imagistone is an overlay that is applied directly over the existing countertops in kitchens and bathrooms as well as tubs and showers. Imagistone is multi-component overlay that incorporates a unique blend of hardening polymers.  When appropriately cared for, Imagistone provides strength, durability, and beauty for many years to come.  Imagistone can be used for new construction and remodel situations too in kitchens and bathroom vanities.

What does Imagistone look like?

Imagistone has a uniform look like an engineered stone product than granite.  We offer over 32 color selections. We believe the best way to experience Imagistone is to come into the showroom and take a look. 

What are the existing surfaces you can put Imagistone over?

We can apply Imagistone over most existing kitchens and bathroom surfaces including laminate, Formica, Corian and new construction materials.

How do you do the edging?

We believe that edging options  change the look of existing formica and laminate countertops. Existing squared off laminate edges can be modified to look like a slab of stone. This unique capability upgrades and enhances the architectural profile of the new countertops.   Edging options include:

• Bullnose with normal, slant or rounded corners
• Stacked with normal, slant or rounded corners
• Waterfall

What is a running foot?  Is that the same as a square foot?

A running foot is 12 inches of countertop length.  It can also be the same as a linear foot.  However, width is not a factor  using a running foot unit of measure.  Imagistone prices kitchen countertops by the running foot.  We believe it’s the simplest way to measure and calculate pricing.   Running foot is not the same as square feet units of measure.  Imagistone does not use square feet to calculate pricing for countertops.

Do you have a showroom?

Yes, we are located in Carrollton at 1411 Lemay Drive, Suite 102.  We are near the northeast corner of I-35 and 190.  We are open on Friday and Saturday 10a-5pm.  No appointment is necessary.

Why are you only open on Fridays and Saturdays?

These are open showroom hours only.   Our corporate office is open Mon-Saturday 10am-5pm. The showroom is open by appointment throughout the week from  Monday-Thursday.  Over the years we have found that the majority of people shop for countertops on the weekends with their friends and family.  That is why the showroom is open on Fridays and Saturdays. No appointment is necessary on Fridays and Saturdays.  We gladly will work with any schedule you require.  However, we are always closed Sundays.

Do you do under mount sinks?

No, we do not do under mount sinks.  The reason is simple.  Most of the countertops we overlay upon are laminate.  Most laminates are made of particle board underneath.  Future water damage could occur from an under mounted sink.

What about existing sinks & stoves?

We can work around most sinks and stoves.  However, should you want to update the existing sink or stove, remove it prior to installation.  Wait 72 hours after the Imagistone installation to install the new sink or stove.

Do you have a warranty?

Yes, Imagistone offers a 1 year warranty.  However, we really don’t think about a customer in terms of in warranty or out of warranty.  We always focus first on getting the customers countertop back to its original condition.  We do not charge our customers most repairs like knife cuts or chips even if it’s years after the original installation.  If it’s an extensive repair like damage that occurred from a kitchen fire or water damage then we charge by the hour.   We never charge for any warranty repairs. 

When Does Imagistone Make Sense For Bathrooms?

The simple and surprising answer is that Imagistone in bathrooms seldom makes sense in new construction.  Imagistone  requires some type of existing sub surface to apply to.  It would make little sense to install  a new cultured marble tub and immediately apply Imagistone to it.  Imagistone’s stone or tile showers do make sense in new construction or remodel situations.  These are very beautiful and affordable.

Imagistone in remodel  bathrooms makes  enormous sense.  The obvious advantages are  practical and economic.  Practical because no tear out is required and economical because of the dollar savings.  Take for example a cultured marble double sink in the master vanity.  Most of these have been custom made when the home was originally built.  The cost to tear out and custom replace can range from $1,200 to $5,000 depending on the type of surface desired.  Imagistone costs a fraction of the price and  can make these vanities more beautiful than when they were new.

These same scenarios are true for tubs and tub/shower combinations.  The tear out and replacement of tubs and combinations is a very expensive undertaking.  Normally, Imagistone can be applied to these existing surfaces for a fraction of the price and the look is stunning.
