Premium Products
GRANITE
- Forms from the crystallization of magma or lava below the Earth’s surface
- Composes of mainly quartz and a variety of minerals which creates its unique patterns of color
- Nearly 3,000 different colors and designs available
- Because of its volcanic nature, Granite stones are heat resistant
- A porous natural stone that can soak up liquids
- Exceptionally durable which makes it scratch resistant
- Cannot be cut with regular knives
- Very heavy material and can be difficult to install
MARBLE
- A metamorphic rock which shapes from limestone under high heat and pressure
- Luxurious natural stone that comes in a smaller range of colors than Granite
- Slabs feature a gorgeous vein of color, a design that has become synonymous with Marble
- Although it is heat resistant, if a hot pot is placed over it, it might change its color
- A porous natural stone that can soak up liquids
QUARTZ
- Contains about 93 percent quartz particles and 7 percent man-made materials
- Companies that make Quartz use a variety of pulverized materials (granite, marble, quartz, glass) combined with a binding polymer to create an engineered product that is stronger than most natural stone
- Quartz is one of the hardest minerals on Earth
- Comes in a wide range of colors, patterns, and tones
- Nonabsorbent, so it is stain resistance and does not harbor harmful bacteria
- Produced as an affordable and low-maintenance option compared to Marble and Granite
QUARTZITE
- A non-foliated metamorphic rock composed almost entirely of quartz rich sandstone altered by heat, pressure, and the chemical activity of metamorphism
- One of the main benefits of Quartzite is that many varieties have a similar look to Marble but require much less maintenance
- Many colors, textures, finishes and edges can be created
- Relatively heat and stain resistant
- One of the most physically durable and chemically resistant stones on earth
- One of the hardest natural stones, slightly harder than Granite
SOAPSTONE
- A metamorphic rock composed mainly of talc and other minerals
- A natural stone that comes in deep, rich colors and has a smooth and silky feel
- Soapstone does not have many color options
- Due its composition, Soapstone is non-porous, non-absorbent, heat resistant, does not need sealing, anti-bacterial and is easy to shape
- Soapstone may darken over time
PORCELAIN
- Made from China Clay containing high amounts of Kaolinite along with silica, feldspar and other mineral oxides, put into a kiln and fired at extremely high temperatures making it heat resistant
- No sealing needed due to fire glazing which blocks against stains and moisture
- Unlike stone, Porcelain does not come with its designs built in. Patterns are basically printed onto the top
- Colors come in virtually any shade, pattern, and finish
- Extremely hard, durable and stands up to most impacts, making it very difficult to scratch, chip or mark
- It is non-porous so liquids do not absorb
- Acidic foods, drinks, and/or chemicals will not dull, etch, discolor or bleach out the surface making it chemical resistant
- Resistant to UV-Light which means it will not fade from direct sunlight
- 100% natural, raw, and clay-based making it environmentally friendly and recyclable
- Lightweight so easier to install
