OUR HISTORY:
Rocky Tops Marble & Granite was
established in 1998. Starting in a small warehouse with only one
employee, we produced and installed cultured marble vanities.
We quickly became Knoxville’s largest cultured marble company and
moved into a 7000 sqft facility. Our product line included not
only vanity tops, but custom showers, whirlpool bathtubs and a variety
of other items. We entered the natural stone business basically
at the request of our builder customers. They wanted us to handle
all of their countertop needs. Again, after starting small and
learning from the best, we have grown into the largest natural stone
company in the area. Our showroom and production facilities occupy
approximately 25,000 sqft.
OUR QUALITY:
From day one, we have been committed
to total quality. This commitment includes everything from raw
materials, equipment and processes to paperwork and service. We
believe quality is not just the end product, but the entire experience.
In both our natural stone and cultured marble products, we start with
the highest quality raw materials, use the best equipment and craftsmen
in our process and strive to have the best sales and service.
We continually evaluate our entire process for improvements.
OUR FACILITIES: Natural Stone
Our natural stone fabrication facility
is located at 6969 Karns Crossing Lane, Knoxville along with our showroom.
MATERIALS: Through partnerships with
top suppliers, we are able to stock the largest in-house selection of
slabs in the area. We have over 100 different colors and materials
in stock at all times, many of which are available only through Rocky
Tops. Of course, we can also fabricate your job from slabs you
pick at local slab suppliers if you choose. Along with natural
granite, marble and other stone products, we also fabricate Silestone
and Hanstone quartz products.
EQUIPMENT: We have invested in the
best equipment available in order to bring you the highest quality end
product possible. We have two electronically controlled bridge
saws, a high speed line polisher and a top-of-the-line CNC machine.
CRAFTSMEN: Unlike many other shops,
we believe that machines alone can not achieve the level of detail required.
We also have the best craftsmen to complete the details and review each
part to insure its quality. You are invited to tour our shop and
see for yourself.
OUR FACILITIES: Cultured Marble
Our cultured marble shop is located
off of Watt Rd. in west Knoxville. Cultured marble is a mixture
of polyester resin, marble dust and colors that are molded into
products such as vanity tops, tubs, shower walls and shower pans.
MATERIALS:
The key to a quality cultured marble
product is consistency. We use the highest quality, whitest marble
dust available, purchasing 45,000 lbs at a time to insure consistent
quality. Our resin and gel-coat are tracked by LOT# for the same
reasons.
PROCESS:
We use only GRUBER brand molds which
are considered the “Gold Standard” of the industry. In fact,
our entire production process was designed and installed by GRUBER.
After set-up, molds are sprayed with gel-coat that is then cured in
a temperature controlled tunnel. A strict recipe is followed to
mix the marble, resin and color which is then applied to the mold.
After curing, each part is sanded in a HEPA filtered dust booth and
given its final polish and inspection. Again, shop tours are available.
