— Know Your Stone
Not all stone is the same. Here's a quick breakdown of the materials we carry and what makes each one the right choice for different applications.
Natural Stone
One of the hardest natural stones available. Granite is heat resistant, scratch resistant, and each slab is completely unique. A proven choice for kitchens and high-traffic surfaces.
Engineered Stone
Engineered from natural quartz crystals and resin, quartz offers consistent color and pattern with very low maintenance. Non-porous and never needs sealing.
Natural Stone
Timeless and elegant, marble brings a luxury feel to any space. More delicate than granite or quartz — best suited for bathrooms, fireplace surrounds, and low-traffic surfaces.
Natural Stone
Often confused with quartz, quartzite is a natural metamorphic rock that offers the beauty of marble with far greater durability. One of the most sought-after materials in luxury design.
Engineered
Ultra-thin, incredibly durable, and available in large format slabs. Porcelain is UV resistant, making it an excellent option for outdoor kitchens and commercial applications.

— Common Questions
Quick answers to what we hear most often from homeowners and trade partners.
How do I choose between granite, quartz, and marble?
It depends on your lifestyle and the space. Quartz is best for low-maintenance kitchens. Granite is great for durability with natural character. Marble is ideal for bathrooms or decorative surfaces. Our design consultants can walk you through the tradeoffs in person.
Does quartz need to be sealed?
No. Quartz is engineered and non-porous, so it never requires sealing. That's one of its biggest advantages over natural stone for busy households.
Can I cut directly on my countertop?
We always recommend using a cutting board. While granite and quartz are hard surfaces, cutting directly on them can dull your knives and over time may cause minor scratching. It's just good practice.
What's the difference between quartzite and quartz?
Quartzite is a natural stone formed from sandstone under heat and pressure — it looks similar to marble but is much harder. Quartz is an engineered product made from crushed quartz crystals and resin. Very different materials despite the similar name.
How often should I seal my granite?
Lighter colors typically every 2–3 years, darker colors every 4–5 years. We also offer a 25-year sealer warranty — ask us about it at either showroom so you don't have to think about it.
Can you put hot pans directly on stone countertops?
Granite handles heat well, but we always recommend trivets as a good habit. Quartz is not heat resistant and can be permanently damaged by direct heat. Marble is also sensitive to thermal shock. When in doubt, use a trivet.
Do you carry sinks and can they be installed with my countertop?
Yes — we carry a selection of porcelain and stainless steel sinks. We can cut the sink opening during fabrication and coordinate the installation so everything is done in one visit.
Can I see the actual slab before I commit?
Absolutely — and we strongly encourage it for natural stone. Since every slab is unique, viewing it in person ensures you're getting exactly what you expect. Both showrooms have extensive slab inventory on display.
Over 4,000 slabs in stock across both locations. View what's available or visit a showroom to see it in person.
