  • What's the difference between granite and quartz?

    Quartz is an engineered material composed of crushed quartz particles combined with resins and pigments to mimic natural stone. It's non-porous and requires minimal maintenance. While quartz offers various designs resembling natural stone, it's sensitive to direct heat. If damaged, quartz is challenging to repair.
  • What makes granite a good choice for a countertop?

    Granite is a natural stone with unique color patterns and veining created by nature. It handles heat better than quartz, though we still advise against direct contact with hot items. Granite is more cost-effective to repair and offers a wider range of material options for countertops.
  • How does marble compare to granite and quartz?

    Marble is a timeless, elegant natural stone with a rich history. While beautiful, it's more susceptible to scratches and dents compared to granite or quartz. Over time, marble develops a unique patina that reflects its use. One advantage of marble is that it's easier to repair and restore than other materials.
