What is a remnant and when is it appropriate to use one?

When we cut a job from new slabs, there are often leftover pieces, called remnants. We inventory the ones that are large enough to use for smaller projects. Most often, remnants are used for vanities, fireplace hearths and surrounds, and other smaller jobs. This is a great way to get fancier stone in your home without breaking the bank, since we sell them at a discount to the regular price.
