Stratus Surfaces was founded on the belief that selecting stone should be an inspiring experience, not an overwhelming one. After establishing a strong presence in several markets, Kansas City was a natural next step. It’s a growing design community with incredibly talented architects, designers, builders, and homeowners who appreciate quality craftsmanship.
“We wanted to bring a thoughtfully curated collection of natural stone, quartz, and porcelain surfaces to the area while creating a showroom experience that feels welcoming, educational, and enjoyable,” noted Heath Gray, KC General Manager. “Whether someone is building their dream home or tackling a single-room renovation, we want every customer to feel confident in their selection and excited about the process.”
He believes their people and approach set them apart in the industry, and that choosing a surface goes beyond color or pattern, it is also about finding the right material for the way someone lives and the vision they have for their space.
“Our team takes the time to understand each project and guide customers through the selection process without pressure. We also take pride in offering one of the largest and most carefully curated inventories of natural stone, quartz and porcelain,” he continued. “Customers can view full slabs in person, compare materials side by side, and truly experience the beauty and character of each piece before making their decision.”
Natural stone is at the heart of what they do, and currently they are seeing a lot of interest in quartzite and marble. More homeowners and designers are looking for materials with natural movement, depth and character, something that feels unique and brings warmth to space. Quartzite and marble have become favorites because they offer the organic beauty people are drawn to.
“We also carry a wide variety of granite, soapstone, travertine, and other natural stones sourced and curated from our suppliers around the world. One of the things we love most about natural stone is that no two slabs are exactly alike. Every slab has its own personality, which means every finished project is truly one of a kind,” he noted.
For clients looking for a more consistent look or lower maintenance, their StratusQuartz® collection offers a beautiful range of colors and styles inspired by natural stone. They also offer StratusPorcelain™, which has become a popular choice for both indoor and outdoor applications thanks to its durability, versatility, and clean, modern aesthetic.
“Whether someone is drawn to the uniqueness of a natural stone, the low maintenance of quartz, or the versatility of porcelain, we have surfaces to fit just about every design style and project,” he explained. “When it comes to working with clients, we like to keep the process simple and enjoyable. It starts with getting to know the project. Whether someone visits on their own, comes with a designer, or is working with a fabricator or builder, we take the time to understand what they’re looking for and answer any questions they have.”
They invite you to visit the showroom to experience it for yourself.
