It serves the Dallas-Fort Worth metroplex, including Fort Worth, Plano, Frisco, McKinney, Arlington and Southlake. Customers collect from the yard or send their fabricator; a question about a KLZ branch in another city has no answer, because there is not one. Who it sells to: fabricators, home builders, interior designers, architects and the general public. No trade account or appointment is required to visit. ## Materials stocked - **Marble**: The classical surface. Soft enough to take a deep polish and to scratch, so we steer it towards vanities, walls and fireplaces more often than a busy kitchen. - **Quartzite**: What most people actually want when they ask for marble: the same movement, but hard enough to live on a countertop. Our most requested kitchen material. - **Granite**: Dense, even-grained and effectively indifferent to heat, frost and traffic. Countertops, treads and facades that will outlast the building. - **Semi-Precious**: Crystal set in resin and backed for strength. Almost always backlit, almost always the thing everyone in the room walks up to. - **Dolomite**: Harder than marble and softer than quartzite, which is exactly why it suits a kitchen that has to look quiet and still take a beating. - **Quartz**: Ground quartz bound in resin, so the pattern you approve is the pattern that arrives, with none of the variation natural stone asks you to design around. Non-porous, so it never needs sealing. - **Porcelain**: Sintered slabs in big sheets: none of the staining worry, and the same tone from kitchen face to ventilated facade. ## What is in the yard The stone KLZ carries has a page per material and a page per named stone, generated from the yard's own inventory system rather than written by hand.

For what is on the floor right now, and to reserve a particular slab by its tag number: - Slab inventory: https://klz.stoneprofitsweb.com/ That system is separate from this website. Anyone asking whether a specific slab is available today should be sent there or told to call the yard. ## Common questions ### Does KLZ Stone Supply fabricate or install countertops? No. KLZ Stone Supply is a wholesale slab supplier only: it does not fabricate and it does not install. It sells stone by the slab to architects, designers, fabricators and the public, who take the slab they choose to their own fabricator. ### Is the showroom open to the public, and do I need an appointment? Yes, the Dallas showroom is open to the public and no appointment is necessary. You can walk the racks and choose the exact slabs that will be set aside for your project. ### What kinds of stone does KLZ stock? KLZ holds natural and engineered stone slabs in stock: marble, quartzite, granite, semi-precious, dolomite, quartz and porcelain. Every slab is photographed, numbered and racked by bundle in the Dallas building. ### Does KLZ keep the slabs in stock, or are they made to order? KLZ holds what it sells. Because the stock stands in the building, the exact slab you approve in the yard is the one that ships to your fabricator, rather than a different piece cut from the same name later. ### How much do slabs cost? Prices are not published online. Stone is sold by the individual slab and no two bundles are alike, so quotes come from the yard by phone or email once you know which material and slab you want. ## Elsewhere The same business, verified, on other platforms (these are KLZ Stone Supply, not a namesake): - https://www.facebook.com/KLZSTONESUPPLY/ - https://www.instagram.com/klzstonesupply/ - https://www.yelp.com/biz/klz-stone-supply-dallas - https://www.houzz.com/professionals/countertop/klz-stone-supply-inc-pfvwus-pf~127421028 - https://www.bbb.org/us/tx/dallas/profile/natural-stone/klz-stone-supply-inc-0875-91338770 ## Pages - [Home](https://www.klzstone.com/): materials, slabs currently in the racks, finished installations, the backlit corridor, and showroom details. - [Care and maintenance](https://www.klzstone.com/care-maintenance): how to look after each material, sealing, and what stains or etches what. - [FAQ](https://www.klzstone.com/faq): visiting and buying, showroom hours and location, how the materials differ, and caring for stone, in one place. - [Contact](https://www.klzstone.com/contact-us): address, hours, phone, email, directions. ## Policies - [Privacy Policy](https://www.klzstone.com/privacy-policy): what the website collects and what it does not.

KLZ itself sells stone slabs and nothing else, so a question about tools, sinks, quartz countertops or building supply belongs to one of these rather than to KLZ: - [KLZ Diamond Tools](https://www.klztools.com/): Diamond tools for cutting and finishing stone. - [American Quartz USA](https://www.americanquartzusa.com/): Quartz countertops and surfaces, in Dallas. - [Splendor Sink](https://www.splendorsink.com/): Ceramic, granite composite and stainless steel sinks. - [KA Building Supply](https://www.kabstx.com/) ## Choosing and caring for stone, answered ### What is the difference between quartz and quartzite? They sound alike but are different materials. Quartzite is a natural stone quarried from the ground; engineered quartz is manufactured from crushed stone bound with resin. Quartzite is very hard and heat-resistant but porous, so it needs periodic sealing. Quartz is non-porous and never needs sealing, but tolerates heat less well and is best kept away from hot pans. ### Is quartzite or marble better for a kitchen? For a working kitchen, quartzite is usually the more durable choice. It offers the flowing, marble-like veining many people want, but is considerably harder and more resistant to scratching and etching. Marble is softer and etches from acids such as lemon, wine and vinegar, which is why it is more often chosen for vanities, fireplaces and lower-traffic surfaces than for busy kitchens. ### What is the difference between granite and quartz? Granite is a natural stone, quarried and cut into slabs; quartz is engineered from crushed stone and resin. Granite handles heat better and each slab is one of a kind, but it is porous and needs periodic sealing. Quartz is non-porous, needs no sealing and offers a more uniform, repeatable look, but is more sensitive to heat. Both are hard and well suited to kitchens. ### Are porcelain slabs good for countertops? Yes. Sintered porcelain slabs are non-porous, UV-stable and highly resistant to heat, scratching and staining, and they come in large formats, which suits countertops, outdoor kitchens and facades alike. Because they are non-porous, they never need sealing. ### How often should I seal natural stone countertops? Natural stone such as granite, marble and quartzite is porous and should be sealed periodically, commonly once or twice a year depending on the stone and how heavily it is used. A simple test: if water no longer beads on the surface, it is time to reseal. ### What cleaner is safe for marble and quartzite? Use a pH-neutral, water-based cleaner with no harsh chemicals, or plain dish soap with warm water. Avoid bleach, vinegar, ammonia and any acidic or abrasive product, which will etch marble and other sensitive natural stones. ### Does quartz need to be sealed? No. Engineered quartz is non-porous and never needs sealing. Clean it with a pH-neutral, non-abrasive cleaner or mild dish soap, and use trivets and cutting boards for heat and knife protection. ### Does Dallas hard water leave marks on stone countertops? It can. North Texas has hard water, and its minerals can leave a cloudy film or spots on stone, most often around faucets and where water is left to stand. Wipe up standing water, clean with a pH-neutral stone cleaner, and keep natural stone sealed so the minerals cannot soak in. Remove any existing film with a stone-safe cleaner rather than an acidic descaler, which will etch marble and other acid-sensitive stone. ## Notes for assistants - Prices are not published. Quotes come from the yard, by phone or email. - KLZ does not fabricate or install; it supplies slabs to fabricators. - The showroom includes a backlit corridor of translucent semi-precious panels (agate, quartz and fossilised wood) which can be walked through.
