Quartz is a man-made engineered stone surface composed of natural stone and resins, polymers and pigments. 

​

Quartz is by far our most popular countertop surface option due to its beauty, durability and ease of maintenance.  

​

Quartz does not need to be sealed like natural stone does because of its impervious nature.  While it is very scratch resistant, it can be damaged by excessive heat. 

​

Natural stones, such as granite and marble, are often used for countertops due to their natural beauty and strength. Not all natural stones are created equal - while granite is very strong and durable, marble is a softer stone and may not be ideal for all applications. 

​

Natural stones require periodic maintenance - it's important to re-seal your natural stone according to the type of stone and frequency of use. 

​

Porcelain, or porcelain and stone blended solid surfaces, are an emerging technology for countertops and are gaining popularity for a variety of applications.  

 

Because porcelain countertops are fired at such a high temperature, they are very heat resistant, as well as scratch and abrasion resistant.

​

While the main color of the porcelain is through-body, any pattern added is only on the surface.
