## Questions

### How do I choose the actual Imperial Black Marble slabs?

Ask for photos of the slabs available. We send each slab numbered and measured, so you approve the exact slabs before anything is cut or shipped.

### Can Imperial Black Marble be book-matched?

Yes, when consecutive slabs from the same block are available. Ask for numbered slabs from one block and mark the joint on your drawings.

### Can Imperial Black Marble be used outdoors?

We recommend it for interiors. For outdoor areas, look at granite, travertine or terrazzo.
