What You’ll Find at UMI Sarasota Showroom
The Sarasota location showcases a curated selection of premium surfaces, including:
Porcelain Slabs – Sleek, durable, non-porous, and perfect for countertops, shower walls, and facades.
Pompeii Quartz – A leading quartz brand offering modern, consistent, and low-maintenance slabs.
Natural Stone – Granite, marble, and quartzite for timeless and elegant designs.
Recycled Glass Surfaces – Eco-friendly slabs that combine sustainability with unique beauty.
Precious Stone – Exotic, luxurious slabs that turn countertops or feature walls into showstoppers.
“👉 While UMI Sarasota carries a wide range of materials, porcelain slabs combine durability with refined design. One of the biggest advantages of porcelain slabs is their ability to replicate any look—marble, stone, concrete, or even wood—without the headaches of maintenance.
If you’ve ever worried about sealing, staining, or long-term upkeep, Italian porcelain is the material you’ve been searching for. With zero maintenance required, it delivers timeless beauty and practicality in every application.”
