The installation of the counter tops is executed by qualified technicians, and is guaranteed for a period of 1 (one) year from the day of the installation.

Vima Design’s manufacturers only use select grade granites and quartz material. Textures can vary from “even”, “light”, ”heavy” to “wild”. Samples are representative of the final look, it is the industry standard to expect slight variations. These natural variations can be present throughout the counter top and are considered a part of its beauty.
The 5/4 inch (rough thickness) is the industry standard, slabs from different parts of the world may have slight thickness variances. It is the industry standard to have polished counter tops between 17/16 inch and 5/4 inch.
