Choose the Perfect Surface for Your Space

Granite: Granite is a natural stone (igneous rock) formed by the cooling and solidifying of molten materials—and is one of the hardest surfaces on Earth. It’s scratch-resistant, and direct heat will not damage it. Available in hundreds of colors, shades, and patterns, every granite slab is a one-of-a-kind piece of nature. This stone requires minimal maintenance, with sealing recommended once a year. Granite countertops not only add beauty to your home but can also offer a 100%–200% return on investment. Suitable for both indoor and outdoor applications.

Quartz: Quartz is a manmade, engineered stone crafted from natural quartzite ground into powder and mixed with resins and pigments before being molded into slabs. Because it’s engineered, quartz slabs are consistent in color and pattern, often designed to mimic natural stone. This material is strong and crack-resistant, but not heat-resistant—it can burn under high temperatures. It’s also stain-resistant and non-porous, requiring no maintenance beyond regular cleaning. Suitable for indoor use; outdoor use only with UV-rated quartz.

Marble: Marble is a natural metamorphic rock known for its wide range of colors and elegant veining. Each slab is a unique masterpiece shaped by geological processes. While marble is heat-resistant and durable, it’s also porous and susceptible to staining. Acidic liquids such as vinegar or lemon juice can etch its surface. Regular sealing is recommended, but minor scratches and blemishes are relatively easy to repair. Suitable for both indoor and outdoor applications.

Quartzite: Quartzite is a hard, natural metamorphic rock that’s been forged by heat and pressure over time—making it incredibly strong and durable. Its natural beauty, enhanced by unique minerals and dazzling patterns, makes it an excellent choice for countertops. Quartzite is more scratch- and heat-resistant than many other materials but does require periodic sealing. Suitable for both indoor and outdoor applications.
