MIA Updates From the
Quarry to Kitchen Video!
The Marble Institute of America has
released an updated version of their
popular consumer-oriented showroom
video, From the Quarry to the
Kitchen. This video tells the story of
natural stone, how it emerges from
quarries around the world and is
transformed into a thing of beauty in
homes and offices.
First released in 2005, the updated
video contains many enhancements
that reflect the technological advancements
that have been made in
the last 7 years. An expanded section
on digital templating, information
on the sustainability of natural stone,
and the function of sealers are all
touched on in the updated video.
Matt Lalibert of Ripano Stoneworks
had this to say, “The updated video
brings new technology and a fresh
look to this important consumer video.
It’s great that the MIA has packaged
this video with the sustainability presentation
as well.” He went on to say,
“I now have more options to educate
consumers and the architectural
community about natural stone.”
From the Quarry to the Kitchen is
available from the MIA’s online
bookstore and is packaged with Natural
Stone – Beautiful, Durable, Sustainable,
MIA’s sustainability showroom
video. The two videos are configured
to play individually or in a continuous
loop. See accompanying insert for
more information. M
