When choosing a surfacing material for your residential or commercial need, it can often feel overwhelming due to the many options available to you in the marketplace. In an effort to help alleviate some of this stress, we thought we’d take on some of that burden by doing the research for you. We’ve been carrying out this task by choosing a different surfacing material each week and explaining in depth what the specific material is, how it’s made, its associated benefits, where it’s best used, and overall why we think it’d be a good option for you. This week our material of choice is Silestone - a surfacing material that is made by combining some of the hardest and more resilient materials in the world. Much like the previous weeks, we’ll again explain more clearly exactly what Silestone is, how it’s made, the advantages that come along with using it, where we see it to be best used, and overall why we think it’d be smart for you to utilize Silestone for whatever your surfacing need.

Last week was Dekton, and we explained exactly what Dekton was, how it’s made, its advantages, where it is best used, and just overall why it’s a great option to choose when it comes to surfacing materials. This week we’ll focus on Radianz. We’ll continue with the same formula by giving you a better idea of what exactly radianz is, what it’s comprised of, the advantages of utilizing it in your home or business, where it is commonly used, and generally why it’s a great product for whatever your need! Our hope is that by explaining all your options and offering a closer look at different building materials in the marketplace, we’ll be able to help you narrow down your search!

Has the thought of remodeling been on your mind lately? Well, you aren’t the only one. A recent survey by LightStream.com, a division of SunTrust Bank, shows that over half of homeowners are planning to spend money this year on home improvement projects including bathroom and kitchen remodels. This study was cited in a recent article in Kitchen & Bath Design magazine with some interesting insights.

Here at GMS Werks, we have recently redesigned our truck and added a graphically designed wrap that was designed by Omaha Media Group and was applied by our friends over at Revolution Wraps.

M's Pub is set to reopen in August of 2017 - and their iconic green marble bar is coming back... And guess where they found it?

However, there are multiple myths about natural stone concerning many homeowners, we’ll explain why those myths are busted.

From afar, the Apuan Alps in Northwest Italy might look like they are covered in snowcaps, but that’s not snow you are looking at. The specks of white you see atop of the mountains is actually Carrara marble that has been quarried from the face of these mountains. Quarrying this beautiful marble has been going on for centuries and is the source of many famous sculptures throughout history.
