Granite
Granite is an ideal material for countertops and vanity tops
because it is one of nature's hardest and densest materials.
It is also a stylish option combining the beauty of natural
stone with its outstanding durability. It is easy to underestimate
how much wear and tear household or commercial countertop
surfaces must endure every day. Countertops can be subjected
to extreme temperatures, abrasive materials, moisture, and
other stresses that can quickly take their toll on inferior
surfaces. |

Marble
Marble is a rock widely used in buildings, monuments, and kitchen countertops. It consists chiefly of calcite or dolomite, or a combination of these carbonate minerals. Marble is an extremely versatile material that is prized for its beauty and durability on many different surfaces. It does however, require a modest amount of care to protect it against staining, scratching and loss of surface polish.

Travertine
Travertine is warm and beautiful with unique pattern and color characteristics that complements almost any design. But in a way, it is delicate. Travertine is a stone, of course, but not nearly as dense or hard as granite. Travertine will wear well and last forever, but it is porous and sensitive to acidic substances.

Quartz
With all the perks of natural stone plus some, quartz is the most ideal stone countertop option. Quartz combines natural quartz with epoxy resin binders to create a virtually indestructible material that doesn’t require sealants. Since it technically isn’t 100% stone, it is often referred to as “engineered” quartz. However, this is definitely not a synthetic countertop. In fact, quartz provides the look of natural stone, with added durability and a non-porous nature making it practically stain-free, as well as consistent color and hygienic qualities.
