Ensuring customer satisfation

Castia Stone takes great pride in a finished project and the complete satisfaction of our customers. The quality of the final installation is equally important to the product and design. For this reason, we are developing an extensive distributor/installation certification program which trains and certifies all our distributors and installers on Castia Stone standards for design and sales procedure as well as proper installation of Castia Stone. This certification ensures that Castia Stone is installed in accordance with our manufacturer specifications.

Note: Proper installation of Castia Stone is contingent upon all other aspects of construction completed in direct compliance with local building codes and proper engineering and architectural design.
