What is a Remnant?

Remnant according to definitions is nothing but a left-out portion of any material after its primary purpose has been solved. In the stone industry, a remnant implies half-cut slabs, offcuts, or damaged stone slabs that are apparently not in a first-class condition and hence not favoured by customers generally.

Is Remnant only a Worktop Offcut?

Remnants can be an outcome of various situations. Sometimes they are created by damages that occur to the gigantic slabs as a result of mishandling, or in other cases, left-outs from slabs after the primary purpose of the project is completed. 

For instance, if a customer places an order for a kitchen worktops with specific dimensions, the stone slab will be fabricated into the required size following the customer’s kitchen template. The smaller chunks of stone slabs produced as a result of this fabrication process are called offcuts.

Offcuts can significantly differ in dimensions depending on the purpose and process that created them.

Low Budget Kitchen Worktops Modified with Remnants

Projects like complete kitchen/bathroom makeover that include kitchen worktop, kitchen island, kitchen splashbacks, etc, might require an entire slab or maybe even more. But there are numerous possible situations that can arise when you would maybe need just a small fraction of a slab. Say, you want to build a mini pizza table for yourself, a coffee table for your condo, need a lamp or candle base, charcuterie boards, build a mantlepiece, or in a rather serious case break a small portion of your worktops for kitchen/ floor, etc; the list doesn’t end. You can even modify your old kitchen countertops and existing low-value worktops with granite offcuts and marble offcuts to drastically raise their value. This step will cost you far less than spending on a new stone worktop counter. Every sensible person would like to purchase the size required just enough for them rather than paying a hefty price for the entire material. So, a person in possession of remnants can sell them to someone looking for them, given there is a facility to communicate these needs

At work-tops, we use our platform to support customers in these situations. Fabricators wanting to get rid of their kitchen worktops offcuts near me, display them on our Remnants page. Buyers within the region looking for similar materials can thus easily find the item through our website. All our remnant service is totally free of cost.
