FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
Rochester Serpentine Quarry Launches Website Featuring Online Inventory And Project Photos From Across The Country
ROCHESTER, Vermont (August 16, 2013) Vermont Verde Antique, LLC, a serpentine stone quarry in Rochester, Vermont, has launched a website highlighting residential and commercial projects featuring their unique and historical green stone.
The website www.vtverde.com introduces architects and homeowners to the technical and aesthetic qualities of serpentine stone and allows them to explore the company’s extensive inventory. Serpentine is often mistaken for marble or granite, but in fact has unique and desirable qualities of both.
“We are immensely pleased to provide customers with our warehouse inventory online. Every block of serpentine we remove from the quarry has the characteristics that Vermont Verde Antique has been known for internationally for over a century,” said quarry owner Thomas Fabbioli.
The Rochester quarry’s dark green serpentine is sought for its white and light green veining, and often contains subtle layered metallic highlights. Unlike marble, serpentine is resistant to etching by acids, and is as hard as some granites.
“Vermont Verde is being rediscovered by architects, designers, and homeowners because it is a natural fit in traditional and contemporary spaces. In addition to other properties, as a locally sourced stone, it can help you achieve points toward a LEED rating,” said Fabbioli.
A recent renovation of the original New Hampshire’s governor’s residence, The Bridges House, features Vermont Verde Antique countertops and sink. A slideshow that shows the process of stone selection through fabrication and installation is available courtesy of Vintage Kitchens, at www.vtverde.com.
Vermont Verde Antique serpentine is used for residential countertops, and throughout commercial buildings. Recent projects include the Plaque Gallery at the Baseball Hall of Fame in Cooperstown, NY, the exclusive Bay Club in San Francisco, CA, and the Buffalo Federal Courthouse in Buffalo, NY.
