Countertop Quartz

A granite countertop is a perfect choice for your kitchen, bath, bar or outdoor kitchen. Colors include many choices in golden browns, pale pinks, deep plums, romantic reds, exotic blues, greens, blacks and many subtle shades in-between. Granite counter tops and other stones developed their color and pattern over millions of years of natural formation creating a surface that is truly unique.

Versatile, resilient and naturally beautiful, granite is an excellent surface for any project you’re planning. No other natural stone or engineered stone can match granite’s numerous and unique characteristics.

Quartz surfaces offer strength and durability and are twice as strong as granite. A quartz countertop is maintenance free, with no sealing, polishing or reconditioning needed. Simply wash with warm water. It’s that simple.‍
Unlike granite, quartz is certified by NSF International as safe for use as a food preparation surface. Quartz is nonporous; therefore, food and moisture cannot penetrate the surface — the main source of growth for harmful bacteria. Plus, unlike granite, quartz surfaces will resist stains from common food items such as wine, coffee and tea.
Quartz is a pure, all natural and extremely hard stone. In fact, quartz is the hardest non-precious stone that can be found in the earth’s surface
