Distinct Data A New Eye on Imports Imports make up more than 80% of dimensional hard surfaces used in the United States every year. Those shipments provide an important barometer on the state of the industry. Beginning in March, Hard-Surface Report reports the latest data from U.S. government sources on seven surface sectors: Worked Granite Worked Marble Quartz Slabs Travertine Other Calcareous Other Stone Non-Roofing Slate All sector data comes from custom selection and analysis of import categories, as seen with the "StatWatch" columns from stoneupdate.com and the Slab & Sheet e-newsletter.
