Granite Countertops

One of the most popular stone used in counters is granite. Granite provides durability and beauty that is hard to match. Second only to diamonds, granite is one of the strongest substances on earth. It will not chip, crack or scratch with normal kitchen usage. It is naturally heat resistant and will not scorch when it comes into contact with hot objects.

The color of the granite is also consistent throughout the stone, so the color of your countertop will not change over time. The non-porous surface won't absorb liquids and prevent the growth of bacteria, making it a very sanitary surface for kitchens.

Marble Countertops

Marble is another natural stone that is used for countertops. With all the natural deviations in the stone, the beauty of marble is something that has been appreciated throughout time. Because of its heat resistance, marble is a great choice for a kitchen counter. It is also resistant to chips and cracks. When cared for properly, marble will retain its beauty for generations.

Quartz Countertops

Quartz countertops are quickly becoming one of the most popular choices for stone countertops. While natural quartz is available, a manufactured quartz and resin blend is often a better choice. This material is made of 95% ground quartz mixed with a poly resin that binds then crystals together. Because the ground quartz colors can be mixed, any color combination is available. This makes coordinating the quartz with any décor very simple. Quartz not only offers beauty and a variety of colors, it offers a greater durability than other stone options. It resists scorching and scratches. It is not necessary to use hot pads or trivets with this countertop.

Soapstone Countertops

Soapstone is another great choice for stone countertops. It offers durability and a natural beauty. While soapstone comes in a variety of shades of grey and blacks, the overall color of soapstone can be enhanced with the use of mineral oil. It has a natural heat resistance that works great in kitchen areas. Soapstone has been the choice for kitchen counters and sinks for many years because of its durability.
