What is Granite?

Granite is a natural stone formed from crystallized minerals deep within the earth. Each slab is unique, offering a wide range of colors and patterns.

Known for its durability and heat resistance, granite is a beautiful, long-lasting, and cost-effective choice for kitchens, bathrooms, and high-use spaces.

Why Use Granite?

Granite has always been a very popular stone for kitchen and bathroom countertops. It is a durable, scratch-resistant, and heat-resistant material that can enhance the look of any kitchen. There are many different colors and patterns of granite which gives you a wide selection to choose from.

Caring for Granite Countertops

Because granite is heat-resistant and stain-resistant, it is great for uses in kitchens. However, since granite is a natural stone, it does need to be sealed often since all natural stones are porous.  Be sure to keep the granite clean with the correct products and seal it once a year. Heat and light from the sun does not damage granite which makes it an excellent material for outdoor use. If granite is cared for correctly, it can last a lifetime.

What is Quartz?

Quartz is an engineered stone surface which is made of 90-94% crushed stone, mainly quartz, bound together by an adhesive. Quartz is not mined like natural stones but instead is engineered in a factory. In the past, quartz did not have many color options, but now with today’s technology, quartz has a huge variety of different colors and styles.

Why Use Quartz?

Quartz is a great choice for kitchens and baths because it gives a clean, simple look and is antimicrobial. Quartz fits the design of any modern kitchen, and it has lately become a very popular material for countertops. Quartz countertops can also really brighten up your kitchen.

Caring for Quartz

Since quartz is non-porous, it’s very easy to care for. For daily cleaning you can simply use water, dish soap, paper towels, or a damp sponge. Because it’s not a porous stone, quartz is very stain-resistant, especially when compared to most other countertop materials. You also never need to seal quartz since it’s a non-porous stone. However, because of the composition of quartz, heat and light from the sun and heat from pots and pans can damage the color of it.

Marble

With its luxurious veining and timeless appeal, marble brings elegance to any kitchen or bathroom. Furthermore, it pairs beautifully with both classic and modern designs, creating an instantly sophisticated look.

What is Marble?

Naturally formed through heat and pressure deep within the earth, marble offers unmatched character. As a result, each slab displays unique veining and color variations that make it one of a kind. After cutting and polishing, the stone gains a glossy finish that highlights its depth and texture. While every piece differs, each countertop will always stand out. However, marble needs regular care and sealing to preserve its lasting beauty.

Why Choose Marble?

Marble instantly elevates any space. Its natural veining adds movement, and its soft shine provides warmth and luxury. For example, a marble full backsplash can create a seamless, high-end appearance. If you appreciate its charm and are comfortable with routine maintenance, marble is an excellent choice for kitchens and bathrooms alike. Additionally, pairing marble with wood or metal accents enhances its timeless appeal.

Caring for Marble

To maintain your marble’s brilliance, clean spills quickly and seal the surface often. In addition, always use trivets under hot pans and cutting boards to prevent scratches. Because marble is porous, quick cleanup helps avoid stains. Therefore, proper care ensures that your countertops remain bright and polished for years.
