Quartz(MSI Q)
Not to be confused with Quartzite, Quartz countertops are sometimes referred to as “engineered” or “man-made,” but quartz is in fact a natural stone. Quartz countertops are made with one of the hardest minerals on Earth. Because of its strength and abundance, quartz minerals are a popular and reliable choice for the manufacturing of these beautiful countertops. Unlike granite or other natural stone, Quartz can be manufactured to have a uniform appearance. This allows the matching of two (or more) stone surfaces, so that two adjoining surfaces mirror each other, giving the impression of an opened book, also known as bookmatching.

Granite
Granite is one of the most popular choices for kitchen countertops and bathroom vanities. Granite countertops are made from slabs that are cut from blocks quarried directly from the earth. This igneous rock gives a natural appeal to a kitchen or space that can’t be matched by any synthetic material. One of the best reasons to choose granite is that the material is so durable that it resists chips and scratches under normal use. Granite is the third hardest material in the world, just behind quartzite and diamonds. For more information, contact us.
Quartzite
Quartzite is easily one of nature’s most versatile stones, and has become increasingly popular due to its durability, unique patterns, and vibrant colors. Its natural designs have been used in intricate interior designs, creating beautiful displays of patterns. Quartzite is a very hard metamorphic rock that originated as sandstone. Through a process of high heating and pressurization sandstone is transformed into Quartzite, an extremely strong and durable natural stone. When heated, individual quartz pieces recrystallize giving it a beautiful and decorative sparkling pattern. It is also highly resistant to direct UV rays. This prevents the surface from fading and you can use it for outdoor countertops or in a room which receives direct UV rays. For more information, contact us.
Sintered Stone
Introducing Sintered stone also known as an “ultra-compact surface” in the world of countertop materials. These Kinds of natural stone are made from a combo of the same raw materials used to make quartz, glass, and porcelain countertops, although it’s different from all three. It’s a brand-new type of countertop surface that is created with a unique fabrication process called Sinterized Particle Technology or SPT. The process involves mixing natural raw materials under extreme pressure and heat. The idea behind these amazing new evolutionary sintered stone is to improve upon the performance of quartz countertops, but with ultra-compound material not only can we redefine your kitchen countertops, but also be able to apply these new looks to your floors, walls and cladding for the side of your home or business. So much can be done with sintered stone so make sure to contact us to learn MORE!
Marble
Anyone with a love for timeless art has become acquainted with Marble. Whether it be found in the art of Michelangelo or in beautiful architecture worldwide this stone is known for its beauty, durability and longevity. Marble is limestone that has been compacted and heated over millions of years. As a result, marble is less porous and slightly stronger than limestone, but still less durable than granite. Marble is created through a natural process, which causes each slab to be unique in appearance, making each project one of a kind. This stone reflects light extremely well allowing natural light to be spread and brighten smaller spaces. Marble is also highly heat resistant allowing it to be used for the exterior of fireplaces giving a new look for your warm and cozy areas. Contact us for more information
Porcelain
Porcelain countertops are extremely durable as they are heat, scratch, and UV resistant which allows the surface to be installed as countertops, cladding, and flooring in both indoors and outdoor applications. Similar to quartz, the surface is non-porous and does not require an annual sealant which is music to a stone countertop owner’s ears! Porcelain is also extremely lightweight making it easier to cover large surfaces with less seams. Porcelain countertops are glazed to resemble a wide variety of other materials such as travertine, quartzite, marble, and granite, and the result is beautifully realistic. Porcelain slabs work almost anywhere a stunning surface is desired and now with 2 cm thickness option, more can be done with Porcelain in your home. For more info, contact us.
