Granite has a rich beauty that few other countertop materials can match. It is a natural product with a timeless aura and appeal. Granite countertops take a high-quality kitchen to the next level visually and often become the centerpiece of the room. With so many choices of granite to work with, you’ll find one that blends perfectly with your kitchen cabinets, flooring and walls.

Granite is a very hard substance and is not susceptible to scratches. Granite resists heat as well, so its use near a range or cooktop is ideal. Granite can take heat without being damaged or weakened.

Granite can be very resistant to stains and won’t absorb liquids when it is properly sealed.

Marble countertops come in a variety of types, prices, qualities and colors so doing thorough research will help you find the best marble for your needs. Marble has endless variations because of factors like where it’s sourced, its impurities, patterns, colors and veining. Colors can range from white to black to pink to green.

Nothing can rival the look of marble kitchen countertops. There’s a richness to them and a character to the stone that others can’t touch. But what usually arouses people about marble countertops is the veining. Marble remains cool naturally, which makes it a great surface for baking or other cooking.

Because of its strength and abundance, quartz is a popular and reliable choice for countertops. One of the main benefits of quartz countertops is that they are extremely durable. Quartz countertops never have to be sealed, unlike granite, marble, and other surfaces that require regular maintenance. Quartz countertops are also nonabsorbent, so they resist staining and don’t harbor harmful bacteria. Homeowners and designers also turn to quartz for its versatile and beautiful designs, colors, and patterns.

Quartz is a truly maintenance free surface for indoor use and is not recommended outdoors.
