Countertops

 

Granite, quartz and marble. These are the three materials commonly used, each have their own look. Granite has a more natural look, and each piece is completely unique. Quartz tends to lean more modern, and is the hardest of the three. Marble is the least durable, but offers a look that has been a staple in the design industry.

Granite

Granite is a very resilient material, and has a more natural appearance. This material is pulled straight from the earth, so the color options are more limited. They are limited by what comes from earth, but this also adds to the beauty of the product. This means no pieces are the exact same, the material will have a natural variation. This is a natural stone through and through. The material is porous, and will need to be sealed occasionally to prevent staining.

Quartz

Quartz is the hardest material, and nonporous making it durable, and easy to keep very clean with little maintenance. This material has a lot of looks in the greys, and whites. Using glass, and metallic pieces in the manufacturing process gives the material different looks, as well as colors.

Formica

These are made from layers of plastic that are bonded to particleboard or kraft paper to create a solid surface. These countertops are available in a many colors and patterns mimicking granite, quartz, or marble and can even mimic wood or metal.
