ST. LOUIS, MO -- Global Granite & Marble has launched a new division, Global Architectural Products (GAP), said Elliot Uchitelle, managing partner of the St. Louis-based importer and supplier of natural stone.
According to Uchitelle, there is demand within the architecture and design community for detailed information about natural stone during the material specification process. GAP will provide architects, design-build firms, masons, general contractors and custom homebuilders with details such as stone type, coloration, performance, appearance and longevity early in the design phase. Global Granite & Marble will then carry its clients through the entire construction process -- from drawing, specification and pricing through to installation and natural stone maintenance training.
