GRANITE

Granite and other natural stone products are typically considered premium, or “high end” products. One of the biggest benefits of using a natural stone is its unique and beautiful appearance. Granite is highly scratch-resistant, and is typically resistant to etching caused by acidic substances. (Other natural stone surfaces like polished marble are not etch resistant.) Hot pots and pans can also be placed directly on granite without fear of burning the surface.

QUARTZ

Quartz countertops are very popular, low-maintenance option, perfect for any busy kitchen. Its minimal look can make your kitchen feel very clean and spacey. Made from the strongest natural mineral found on earth and mixed with resin, they’re nonporous, stain-resistant and easy to clean. You’ll never have to seal, condition or polish them.

MARBLE

Marble has been prized for its natural beauty since ancient times. Marble surfaces add a soft and luxurious appearance to any design. Marble countertops are a popular option and will add value to your home, and it may be more affordable than you think. In fact, marble’s popularity never loses momentum, although trends have shifted in regards to where it is installed. While marble is unarguably lovely, it is a softer and more porous stone. This makes it more vulnerable to scratches, etching and stains.
