Abstract: A method for installing natural stone surfaces is disclosed wherein the natural stone is provided with a thickness cut from its quarried block, which is between about ? inch to about ? inch thick. It is sized so that an installer can handle and install the natural stone surface on the job site without the use of an off-site fabrication shop. When the natural stone surface needs to be cut on the job site, the thickness allows an installer to make the cuts using a wet or dry rotary saw, as appropriate. Desired cut edges are then polished to a desired finish. Where desired, a natural stone prefabricated edge is installed against edges of the natural stone surface. The prefabricated edge is adhesively applied to the natural stone surface edge using a resinous material. The seam is then polished as needed.
