Waterfall islands · Fabricated in our Bridgeport shop
A waterfall island is two pieces of stone that have to look like one. CMG Stone cuts the top and the end panel from neighbouring parts of the same slab, mitres them at forty-five degrees and joins them so the stone appears to fold and run to the floor. Every waterfall is fabricated in our Bridgeport shop and installed by our own crew.
The vein has to carry around the corner, so layout matters more than anything. At the yard, we lay the island top and end panel over a photograph of your slab, side by side, so the veining flows from the top down the side.
One waterfall end or two, the principle is the same. Two ends need more stone, so we check how your island fits on the slab before you commit.
Strong, directional veining makes the most dramatic waterfall.
Taj Mahal and Mont Blanc give a marble look without the etching, on an island used every day.
Calacatta-style veining at its most dramatic. It etches, so honed suits a working island.
Works when the pattern runs through the slab rather than sitting on the surface.
Can be mitred too, with the pattern planned carefully because it's printed on the face.

Pick a slab with veining you love; directional veining makes the strongest waterfall.
We place the top and end panel side by side on a photograph of your slab.
Both pieces come from neighbouring parts of the slab and are mitred at forty-five degrees.
Typically one to two weeks after templating, installed by our own crew.
See full slabs, not sample chips. Bring your cabinet plan or rough dimensions and a few photos of the room, and we'll show you stone that suits the space.

Two pieces of stone mitred at forty-five degrees and joined so the counter appears to fold and run to the floor. Done properly, the veining continues around the corner uninterrupted.
Yes. The end panel comes from the same slab as the top so the veining matches, so a waterfall usually takes more slab than a standard island. We check the layout on your slab before you commit.
The mitred corner is a joint by design. If the island top is longer than the slab, it may also need a seam, which we place where the veining hides it best. See where countertop seams should go.
