Products
Q: What is the difference between granite, quartz, and quartzite?
A:
Granite is a natural stone known for its durability and unique patterns. It is heat and scratch-resistant, making it ideal for kitchen countertops.
Quartz is an engineered stone made from natural quartz crystals combined with resin. It offers a wide range of colors and patterns, is non-porous, and requires minimal maintenance.
Quartzite is a natural stone that starts as sandstone and undergoes a transformation process involving heat and pressure. It is harder than granite and provides a beautiful, natural look.
Q: How do I choose the right material for my project?
A: Consider factors like aesthetics, durability, maintenance, and budget. Granite offers natural beauty and durability, quartz provides consistency and low maintenance, and quartzite combines natural beauty with extreme durability. Our team can help you select the best material for your needs.

A: Yes, we provide custom fabrication services to ensure your countertops fit perfectly in your space.
