GRANITE
Granite is the most durable of all stones. Its diamond-like hardness makes this unique material the most favorable when choosing high traffic surfaces like kitchens and bathroom counters. Granite is easily taken care of with daily cleaning and yearly sealing, and will look as good as the day it was installed for your lifetime and years beyond. Unlike many solid surface materials that scratch, granite will never need to be replaced. An environmentally friendly natural choice, granite will add elegance and increase your home value.
QUARTZ
Comprised of 93% natural quartz, Quartz surfaces offer an exciting new option for countertops. Quartz surfaces offer the realistic, high-polished look of granite, with a wide range of consistent color options.
Crushed quartz, one of nature's hardest minerals, is combined with polymer resins and then compacted in dense, non-porous, consistent colored slabs. They are offered in an array of colors from neutral tones to bold, luminous hues. Quartz surfaces are resistant to cracking and chipping and heat and scorch resistant under normal cooking conditions, however the resins combined with the quartz make the surfaces slightly less durable than granite. Although no sealing is required, it is recommended to wipe any spills immediately.
Most Quartz surfaces are available in the same thicknesses as granite, and can be fabricated with all the edge profiles. Quartz surfaces are man-made slabs, therefore usually slightly more expensive than granite and other natural stones. Colors and availability can also affect pricing.
MARBLE
Due to its legendary elegance, marble is popular for flooring, vanities, tub surrounds, fireplace surrounds, pillars and sculptures. Marble takes a high polish, but is significantly softer than granite and scratches very easily. It is an easy target for acidic foods and cleaning products, and as a result, is not recommended for use in kitchens. Marble can lose its color and high polish, therefore requires preventative sealing and proper maintenance including neutral cleaners.
Marble is generally priced comparable to granite. Availability of the material determines the specific pricing.
