GRANITE
Granite is the best-known igneous rock. Many people recognize granite because it is the most common igneous rock found at Earth's surface and because granite is used to make many objects that they encounter in daily life. These include countertops, floor tiles, paving stone, curbing, stair treads, building veneer, and cemetery monuments. Granite is used all around us - especially if you live in a large modern city.
MARBLE
Marble is a metamorphic rock containing a high concentration of calcite or dolomite. The word is derived from Greek meaning to sparkle or gleam. There are many variations of marble based on the minerals which give it color and veining. Marble varies in the size of the grains and the amount of veining, so stone quarried from different parts of the world have a unique appearance. Fine-grained marble tends to be more consistent in color. Heavier grains produce more variation in color.
QUARTZ
Quartz slabs primary ingredient is ground quartz (about 94 percent), combined with polyester resins to bind it and pigments to give it color. For some designs, small amounts of recycled glass or metallic flecks are added to the mix. The resins also help make these counters stain and scratch resistant—and nonporous, so they never need to be sealed. Made from one of the hardest minerals on earth, quartz countertops are arguably the most durable option for kitchens. They're also some of the most eye-catching. They come in a wide variety of colors, including fire-engine red and apple green, as well as earthy browns, blacks, and creams, with sparkles and veining for the look of granite or marble. But unlike natural-stone slabs, which are mined, these slabs are engineered in a factory.
QUARTZITE
Quartzite is a nonfoliated metamorphic rock composed almost entirely of quartz. It forms when a quartz-rich sandstone is altered by the heat, pressure, and chemical activity of metamorphism.
Metamorphism recrystallizes the sand grains and the silica cement that binds them together. The result is a network of interlocking quartz grains of incredible strength. It has all the beauty of marble with the toughness of granite and is easier to maintain than some other stone surfaces.
NEOLITH
Neolith is a lightweight, large format sintered surface. Sintered surfaces are growing in popularity as designers and architects become more familiar with the many advantages of the material. Made from entirely natural, recyclable products, such as crushed stone, Neolith is created during a process involving intense heat and pressure that bonds the elements to create a strong and sturdy product that is lightweight, UV resistant and very versatile. The sintering process eliminates the need for any resin or polymer. With color choices similar in appearance to stone, wood, or cement, Neolith presents a multitude of application options. Neolith is suitable for both commercial and residential applications. Its versatility means it can be used for regular home remodeling projects such as kitchen countertops or backsplashes, but it’s also suitable for commercial projects such as exterior building cladding or large format flooring. Building exteriors are vandalism-proof with Neolith, since graffiti can be cleaned off, and it’s scratch and UV resistant. It comes in a range of thicknesses, meaning that in some applications, it can be placed over the existing material without the need for demolition, which reduces cost. Another important difference between Neolith and some other surfacing products (such as quartz) is that it is UV resistant. This makes it suitable for external applications such as exterior cladding and outdoor kitchens, and the product will not fade or show signs of sun damage.
LIMESTONE
Limestone is a sedimentary rock composed principally of calcium carbonate (calcite) or the double carbonate of calcium and magnesium (dolomite). It is commonly composed of tiny fossils, shell fragments and other fossilized debris. These fossils are frequently visible to the unaided eye on close examination of the stone surface, however this is not always the case. Some varieties of limestone have an extremely fine grain. Limestone deposits can undergo metamorphism during major geological events resulting in a recrystallizing as marble. Many varieties do not take a polish well, so that the surface is typically a matte finish, no-gloss surface. Limestone is widely used in architectural applications for walls, decorative trim and veneer.It is less frequently used as a sculptural material, because of its porosity and softness, however, it is a common base material. It may be found in both bearing (structural) and veneer applications.
SOAPSTONE
Soapstone is a metamorphic rock. There are two different materials popularly called soapstone. The first being Talc, the softest mineral on earth, mostly used in the manufacturing of cosmetics, refractory materials, sculptures, and everyday items such as toothpaste, baby powder and even chewing gum. What we offer is an alternate material known as steatite.
The rock steatite (also called soapstone) is the material we use for our countertops, sinks, flooring, and many other architectural applications. Steatite was also used to “coat” the famous “Christ the Redeemer” statue in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil. Steatite is composed of several minerals, but the most abundant is talc. Steatite, because of its additives, is harder than talc, and hence suitable for the applications cited above. Soapstone (steatite) in its initial state only comes in shades of gray, unlike talc, which is available in a variety of colors. This naturally quarried stone is softer than most other naturally occurring minerals. Although soft, soapstone is a very dense (non-porous) stone; more so than marble, slate, limestone and even granite. Since soapstone is impenetrable, it will not stain, no liquid will permeate its surface. Other stones, including granite, have a propensity to soil; this is why soapstone (steatite) is widely used in chemistry lab countertops and acid rooms. Soapstone is used for sculpture, tile, and kitchen countertops, sinks, wall tile and even for woodstoves and fireplaces.
TRAVERTINE
Travertine is a natural type of stone, like the granite in your kitchen or the marble in your bathroom. However, travertine only develops around certain types of mineral spring deposits, giving this unique type of limestone a distinctive and striking appearance. With this wide range of textural styles, a warm and buttery color palette that ranges from rust to beige, and a durable composition that can withstand even heavy-duty wear-and-tear, travertine makes a timeless yet trendy addition to any home.
ONYX
Unlike other natural stone countertops forged deep within the earth’s crust, onyx is formed on the surface from ground or spring water with an abundance of calcite dissolved in it. When the water emerges at the spring’s mouth, the mineral precipitates and gradually builds a crust of calcite crystals. Over time, more water flows by, allowing more minerals to settle.
The many variations present in the layers are caused by the different amounts and flow rates of the water, along with the impurities present. This process is what creates the unique aesthetic quality of onyx slabs. This makes it ideal for those who want a countertop that stands out. Onyx is a natural stone whose lavish and natural beauty makes it popular among homeowners looking for a material that looks similar to marble, especially when polished. Its contrasting shades and rich parallel layers are formed over thousands of years, creating a one of a kind material.
SLATE
Slate is a fine-grained, foliated metamorphic rock that is created by the alteration of shale or mudstone by low-grade regional metamorphism. Slate is composed mainly of clay minerals or micas, depending upon the degree of metamorphism to which it has been subjected. The original clay minerals in shale alter to micas with increasing levels of heat and pressure. Slate can also contain abundant quartz and small amounts of feldspar, calcite, pyrite, hematite, and other minerals. Slate countertops have a lot going for them including stellar good looks, great durability and a non-porous surface that makes them easy to clean and requires less maintenance than granite, marble or concrete. This is a versatile countertop product that works well in kitchens, bathrooms, wet bars and can also be used for backsplashes and sinks. The subtle shifting in coloration is less bold than in marble or granite, but this also makes it much easier to produce countertops for your home that have a more uniform appearance. Lovely shades of black, charcoal, gray, pewter, brown and even those with highlights of green, blue or red can be found. While the differences in slate slabs is not as distinct as you find in granite or marble, each countertop is still unique.

STONE EDGES
Stone edges for countertops are available in many shapes. The detail of the shape of granite countertop edges will affect cost, function, and cleanability. Stone edges are a design element that you get to choose prior to fabrication. The edge or profile that you choose can have a dramatic impact on the look and feel of your granite counter tops and your kitchen. It can also have an impact on the cost of your countertops. Granite countertop edges can be simple or complex, with curves or sharp angles. Your contractor may use a different name for an edge than what is shown here.
Be sure you understand what his or her definition is of the edge you are interested in.
Edges included in price: Pencil (Straight), 1/4 Round, 3/8 Round.
Other popular edges (for an additional price): Half Bullnose, Full Bullnose, Demi Bullnose, Cove, Ogee & 1/4 Bevel & 1/2 Bevel, Dupont & Waterfall .
SINKS
Your sink is the most high-traffic spot in your whole kitchen, and there comes a time when a replacement or upgrade is either necessary or desired. We can assist with cutting your existing (or new) countertops to fit your new sink. A current trend in kitchen upgrades is to replace the sink with a double sink or farmhouse sink, and doing so will require you to expand the space in the countertops to accommodate the larger sink. Our sink upgrade service is just what you need! We will cut and finish the edges to expand and fit the new sink, without damaging the existing countertops surrounding it. We also offer porcelain sinks for bathroom projects.
