Welcome to the Cutting Edge Install Podcast, brought to you by Omnicubed, where innovation meets installation and everything in between. Host Mervyn Campbell, the general manager of OmniCubed, looks for the experts and pros of the industry, inviting them to important dialogues about all things stone work.
In this episode of Cutting Edge Install Podcast, host Merv Campbell sits down with second-generation installer Sal of Argo Tile & Stone to talk real-world stone fabrication without a brick-and-mortar shop. Sal explains how he tackles large-format porcelain slabs, granite countertops, and custom marble floors right on site using old-school mud-wall techniques, laser layout tricks, and back-saving slab-handling gear—vacuum lifters, slab savers, seam setters—from OmniCubed.
