Summer keeps the warehouse floor busy — fabricators pulling for pool decks, outdoor kitchens, and the remodel jobs that needed to be wrapped before families reclaimed their homes for the season. It’s a good checkpoint to look at what’s been moving and what trade pros should be watching for as ordering shifts toward fall.

 

 

What’s Been Moving

 

This season’s pulls leaned heavily toward book-matched marble and quartzite for statement kitchen islands, alongside a steady stream of porcelain and quartzite for outdoor kitchen and pool deck work. Veined slabs with strong directional movement continue to be the first thing fabricators reach for when a client wants a kitchen that reads as a single, cohesive piece.

 

“Trade pros know exactly what they’re looking for the second they walk the floor. Our job is making sure the inventory is deep enough, and organized well enough, that they’re not wasting a trip.” — Jill Kummer, Sales Director, The Slab Studio

What to Watch for This Fall

 

As interior remodel season picks back up, expect stronger demand for warmer-toned quartzite and marble — materials that pair well with the deeper cabinetry and warm metal finishes trending in kitchen design right now. Fabricators planning ahead for Q4 installs should be reaching out early; the slabs with the strongest veining tend to move fastest.
