Our Process

Step 1
Visit one of our beautiful showrooms to explore our products and get inspired.


Step 2
Bring in any available swatches, samples, or design materials to assist in the selection process. Our knowledgeable team members are always available to answer questions and help with your selection.
Step 3
After hand-selecting slabs or materials, Architectural Surfaces will happily place a hold on the material. At this point, your fabricator will take over to finalize details, purchase the material, and begin installation. Please note that we do not sell directly to the public.

FAQs
-
Do you sell retail?
No, we do not sell retail. We are a distributor, meaning we import the material and sell only to the trade. Customers can purchase through a fabricator/installer/designer/contractor, or through a floor shop that sells direct to the public.
-
What if I don’t have contractors?
Most trade professionals in the areas we serve already work with us. If you are planning on doing your own installation and aren’t working with a trade professional, often fabricators or floor shops are the best resources for purchasing.
-
How can I get slab pricing?
We cannot give slab pricing because we are a wholesale distributor and we only sell slabs to approved slab fabricators. There are many factors that influence the pricing of your countertop, such as square foot price, slab size, pattern, material workability, layout, and more. This is where fabricators come in to play. Because they will measure your space, template, fabricate, and install the material, they will provide you with the most accurate bid.

How can I get samples?
For PentalQuartz® and all tile we have in stock, you can make a list and check in with one of our showrooms. For special order tile, we generally check out samples for 10 days. Our natural stone slab samples are kept on the warehouse floor next to the corresponding slabs. Many natural stone slabs do not have samples, but we do have photos of most blocks in the Natural Stone Slab section of our website. You are also welcome to take your own photos as you walk through our warehouses.
