STONE INFORMATION:
PORCELAIN SLABS
Porcelain slab countertops are a durable and stylish choice for various applications. They offer several advantages, making them a popular option for kitchens and bathrooms.
Benefits
- Durability: Porcelain is highly resistant to scratches, stains, and heat, making it ideal for high-traffic areas
- Variety: Available in numerous colors and patterns, porcelain slabs can mimic the look of natural stone while providing a consistent appearance
- Maintenance: They require minimal maintenance, as they are non-porous and easy to clean.
Considerations
- Weight: Porcelain slabs can be heavy, requiring proper support during installation.
- Cost: While they can be more expensive than some alternatives, their longevity may justify the investment.
Overall, porcelain slab countertops combine aesthetic appeal with practical benefits, making them a worthwhile consideration for any renovation project.
MANUFACTURED QUARTZ
Comprised of up to 93% natural quartz, one of natures strongest minerals, quartz is resistant to stains, scratches, most households chemicals and moderate heat. It never needs sealing and its hard, nonporous surface making cleaning simple. It retains the cool, tactile qualities of natural stone and aggregates ranging from fine- to coarse-grained color blends with variegated visual texture.
QUARTZITE
Quartzite is a natural metamorphic stone formed by intense heat and pressure within the Earth over millions of years. Known for its durability and elegant appearance, quartzite combines the beauty of marble with exceptional strength and resistance to heat and scratches.
Quartzite is commonly quarried in Brazil and India and is available in a wide range of natural colors and veining patterns. Its unique movement and crystalline appearance make it a popular choice for kitchen countertops, bathroom vanities, fireplaces, and wall features.
With proper sealing and routine maintenance, quartzite is easy to care for and maintains its natural beauty for years. Its durability, timeless style, and one-of-a-kind appearance make quartzite an excellent choice for both residential and commercial applications.
GRANITE
Granite is an igneous rock (formed by heat) found deep within the Earth’s crust. Once quarried, cut, polished, and sealed granite is nearly impervious to scratches, heat, etching, staining, or weathering. It is truly one of Mother Nature’s most versatile and beautiful creations.
Most granite is quarried in Brazil and India. However, we also have access to stones from Russia, Spain, Italy, Saudi Arabia, Norway, and Finland. The majority of these rocks are imported to the U.S.A. via Spain and Italy where they are cut and polished into the forms you see at your local slab yards.
The most common use for granite today is in building and remodeling projects such as kitchen and bathroom countertops. The look, feel, durability, and resale value of a granite kitchen countertop is unmatched by any other solid surface material in today’s market.
The care and maintenance of a granite surface includes the application of a petroleum based impregnating sealer into the stone once clean and dry. This can be done by the homeowner and should be applied on a yearly basis. As for daily cleaning, most household cleaners are fine. Granite’s polish is very durable and shouldn’t fade due to standard cleaning products’ acidity levels.
MARBLE
Marble is a metamorphic rock formed by pressure, movement, heat, and other factors over hundreds of thousands of years. Marble is typically less porous and more dense than travertine or limestone. However, this varies from stone to stone.
LIMESTONE
Limestone is a sedimentary rock formed strictly by pressure over time. Limestone is commonly thought of as the “softest” of industry stones, which does vary from stone to stone and is not always true.
TRAVERTINE
Travertine is a sedimentary rock also formed by pressure. Travertine is identified by the holes in the stone. They are formed near a water source allowing moisture to collect and eventually force holes through the stone during formation. Travertine is available “unfilled” or more commonly “filled & honed”. This process greatly reduces the stone’s porosity levels and increases density.
