STONEARMOR
Natural stone, done right — countertop guides, slab science, and the fabrication calculators every install needs.
From sizing a countertop and counting slabs to estimating tile and sealer, weighing a slab before it moves, totalling your edgework, and budgeting the whole job, StoneArmor pairs free hands-on stone calculators with practical guides and a richly illustrated museum of natural stone. Plan the job, buy the right amount, get it right the first time.
Stone Tools & Calculators
Free tools for every stone project — countertop square footage and slab yield, tile coverage, sealer coverage, slab weight, edge and backsplash footage, and a countertop cost estimator.
Countertop Square Footage & Slab Yield
Total your countertop sections, add a waste allowance, and see the square footage plus how many slabs the job needs.
Stone Tile Coverage Calculator
Turn an area and a tile size into an exact tile count and the number of boxes to buy, with waste built in.
Stone Sealer Coverage Calculator
Work out how many units of impregnating sealer to buy from your area, coverage rate, and number of coats.
Stone Slab Weight Calculator
Estimate what a granite, marble, quartzite, or quartz slab weighs — per slab and total — from area and thickness.
Edge & Backsplash Linear Footage
Add up finished edge and backsplash run and price the edgework by the foot for your chosen profile.
Stone Countertop Cost Estimator
Add material, edgework, cutouts, and installation for a stone countertop, with a realistic low-to-high range.
Stone & Stonework Museum
Wander an illustrated museum of natural stone — the marbles, granites, and quartzites prized for countertops, the sedimentary and metamorphic rock they come from, the finishes and edge profiles a shop works them into, and the tools and techniques of the trade, each in its own gallery. Every entry, image, and fact is drawn from Wikipedia and Wikimedia Commons.
