We specialize in high-quality stone materials that combine beauty and durability:
– Granite – Known for its strength, heat resistance, and unique natural patterns.
– Quartz – Engineered for consistency, non-porous, and low-maintenance.
– Quartzite – A natural stone offering the elegance of marble with superior durability.
These materials are ideal for countertops, vanities, and other surface applications.
Natural stones used for countertops vary in appearance, durability, and maintenance needs. Here are the key types we offer:
– Granite: Extremely durable and heat-resistant. Each slab is unique with natural patterns and colors.
– Quartzite: A natural stone that’s harder than granite with elegant aesthetics. Requires sealing but offers high durability.
– Quartz (engineered stone): Made from natural quartz combined with resin. Non-porous, stain-resistant, and available in a wide range of consistent patterns.
Proper care can extend the life and beauty of your stone countertop:
– Daily Cleaning: Use a pH-neutral cleaner or mild dish soap with warm water. Avoid acidic or abrasive cleaners.
– Avoid Damage: Always use cutting boards. Don’t place hot pots or pans directly on the surface—use trivets or hot pads.
– Wipe Spills Quickly: Especially for acidic substances (wine, vinegar, citrus), as they can etch or stain some stones.
Yes—most natural stones require sealing, although the frequency and type of sealant vary:
– Granite and Quartzite: Should be sealed once a year or as needed (test with a water drop: if it darkens, resealing is required).
– Quartz: Does not require sealing, as it is non-porous.
Sometimes seams are necessary, especially for large or complex layouts:
– Seam Placement: We carefully plan seam placement for minimal visual impact and structural support.
– Seam Visibility: While seams are visible upon close inspection, we color-match epoxy to blend with the stone.
