Choosing the right material for your countertop involves considering various factors such as your budget, aesthetic preferences, durability and maintenance requirements.
Here are some popular countertop materials along with their characteristics to help you make an informed decision.
Quartz
Quartz is an exceptionally durable material, resistant to scratches, chips and cracks. This durability makes it well-suited for high-traffic areas.
Unlike natural stones like granite or marble, quartz countertops are non-porous, which means they resist stains and don't require sealing. This makes them easy to clean and maintain.
Learn MoreGranite
Granite is a natural stone known for its hardness and durability. It is resistant to scratches, heat, and most types of damage. Granite does require periodic sealing to maintain resistance to stains and
moisture.
Each granite slab is unique, displaying distinctive patterns and variations in color. This natural beauty adds character to any kitchen or bathroom.
Learn MoreUltra Compact
Ultra Compact surfaces are virtually indestructible, stain proof, scorch proof, and scratch proof as well. The surfaces are created from a combination of glass, porcelain, and quartz material.
Because of their durability, they are popular with outdoor settings.
Learn MoreSolid Surface
Solid Surfaces are created by combining acrylic, stone fragments, resin, and other chemicals in a mold. The resulting material undergoes fabrication and high-temperature heating to produce top sheets for sinks, countertops, bathtubs, showers, vanity tops, and various other applications.
Recognized for its versatility and durability, this material serves as a widely embraced substitute for traditional materials like wood or stone.
