engineered stone

(Material: Quartz)

Zodiaq, CaesarStone, Eurostone, Hanstone, and Silestone are 93% crushed quartz and 7% polymer resin. This combination of materials produces a countertop harder than granite, that will never have to be sealed. All products come with at least a 10 year warranty.

 
natural stone

(Material: Granite and Marble)

Granite countertops are both durable and beautiful. Marble countertops are softer and more porous than granite, but are stunning in the proper application. All natural stone countertops must be sealed every one to two years.

paper composites  
Paperstone and Richlite are composed of cellulose fiber and phenolic resin. The cellulose comes from managed forests and recycled paper. These products will patina naturally and do not need to be sealed. Paperstone Richlite Picture
