Toronto, May 2003 - The Shnier Company is pleased to announce the exclusive offering of Modular Granite Countertop Systems in Canada. This revolutionary new product provides consumers with the beauty of granite at less than half the cost of traditional solid granite slab.

Shnier's Modular Granite Countertop System is comprised of natural granite tiles using 12" x 12" x 3/8" field tiles, 13 ¼" x 12" tiles with bullnose for countertop edging, professionally mitred inside corners and full bullnosed outside corner pieces. This versatile product should be considered for kitchen and island counters, raised counters, custom showers, fireplaces and split-level entries. Modular components are much easier to install and the installation process is much faster than solid granite slabs. This system can be used for new countertop installations or to re-surface existing laminate countertops. An experienced handyman or a good tile-setter can easily install the Modular Granite Countertop System.
