Counter Materials
Calcite Countertops
Calcite countertops offer a sophisticated, high-end look with soft, marble-like veining and a luminous, natural finish. Made from a natural mineral composed primarily of calcium carbonate, calcite surfaces are known for their elegant appearance and light-reflecting properties. Often found in soft whites, creams, and pastel tones, calcite brings a refined and airy feel to kitchens, bathrooms, and other interior spaces.
Calcite Countertops Offer
Elegant Aesthetic: Calcite’s natural veining and smooth texture give it a classic, luxurious look similar to marble—perfect for upscale design.
Light-Reflecting Qualities: The stone’s natural translucence helps brighten rooms and adds depth to the space.
Natural Uniqueness: Each slab of calcite is one-of-a-kind, offering a truly custom, natural surface.
Ideal for Low-Traffic Areas: While softer than granite or quartz, calcite is well-suited for bathroom vanities, fireplace surrounds, or decorative countertops where heavy use isn’t a concern.
Easy to Work With: Its softer nature allows for more intricate edge profiles and detailed fabrication.
Care Note: Calcite is a softer stone and more porous than granite or quartz, so it requires proper sealing and more gentle care to preserve its beauty over time.
Marble Countertops
Marble countertops are prized for their timeless beauty, luxurious veining, and natural elegance. Formed from limestone that has undergone heat and pressure deep within the Earth, marble is a metamorphic stone known for its soft, smooth texture and rich character. Available in a variety of colors—from classic white with gray veining to deeper hues with dramatic patterns—marble adds sophistication and style to any space.
Marble Countertops Offer
Elegant, High-End Look: Marble is synonymous with luxury and refinement, making it a favorite for upscale kitchens, bathrooms, and vanities.
Unique Natural Patterns: No two marble slabs are alike, ensuring a one-of-a-kind look for your countertop.
Cool Surface: Naturally cool to the touch, marble is ideal for bakers or pastry chefs who need a temperature-stable surface.
Ages Gracefully: With proper care, marble develops a patina over time that enhances its natural character and vintage appeal.
Versatile in Design: Works beautifully in both traditional and modern interiors, complementing a wide range of cabinetry and flooring styles.
Care Note: Marble is a softer, more porous natural stone, which means it’s more susceptible to scratching, staining, and etching than granite or quartz. Sealing and gentle cleaning are key to maintaining its elegance over time.
Granite Countertops
Granite countertops are a top choice for homeowners seeking a combination of natural beauty and exceptional durability. As an igneous rock formed from cooled magma, granite is one of the hardest and most resilient natural stones used in interior design. Each slab features unique color variations, mineral patterns, and crystal textures, giving your space a truly custom look. Available in a wide range of hues—from rich earth tones to sleek blacks and grays—granite adds both function and flair to kitchens, bathrooms, and more.
Granite Countertops Offer
Highly Durable: Granite is extremely resistant to scratches, heat, and everyday wear—perfect for high-traffic kitchens.
Natural Beauty: Each slab is a one-of-a-kind piece of Earth’s geology, offering rich visual depth and natural character.
Stain & Moisture Resistant: When properly sealed, granite resists staining and is easy to maintain, even in moisture-prone areas.
Heat Resistant: Hot pots and pans can be placed directly on granite surfaces without damage.
Long-Lasting Investment: Granite countertops add long-term value to your home thanks to their durability and timeless appeal.
Care Note: To keep granite looking its best, routine sealing and cleaning with non-abrasive products are recommended. With minimal upkeep, granite remains stunning and functional for decades.
Quartz Countertops
Quartz countertops offer a sleek, modern look combined with impressive strength and low maintenance. Unlike natural stone, quartz is an engineered material made from natural quartz crystals mixed with resins and pigments to create a non-porous, uniform surface. This manufacturing process allows for a wide range of colors and patterns—many of which mimic the look of marble or granite—while providing greater durability and consistency.
Quartz Countertops Offer
Non-Porous & Stain Resistant: Quartz does not absorb liquids, making it highly resistant to stains, bacteria, and mold—no sealing required.
Low Maintenance: Simply wipe clean with mild soap and water—no special cleaners or sealants necessary.
Durable & Scratch Resistant: Quartz is engineered to withstand daily use, making it ideal for busy kitchens and bathrooms.
Consistent Appearance: Engineered design ensures uniform color and pattern across the surface, which is ideal for large or matching installations.
Wide Variety of Styles: Available in a broad range of colors and patterns—from subtle neutrals to bold veining—quartz complements any design style.
Care Note: While quartz is heat-resistant, it’s best to use trivets or hot pads to avoid potential damage from extreme temperatures.
Quartzite Countertops
Quartzite is a natural stone known for its striking appearance and incredible strength. Formed from sandstone and transformed by heat and pressure over time, quartzite features dramatic veining and vibrant patterns that often resemble marble—but with far greater durability. It’s an excellent choice for those who want the beauty of natural stone with the toughness to handle heavy use in kitchens, bathrooms, and other high-traffic areas.
Quartzite Countertops Offer
Extremely Durable: Quartzite is one of the hardest natural stones available, highly resistant to scratching and etching.
Heat & UV Resistant: Perfect for kitchens and outdoor areas, quartzite can withstand heat and prolonged sunlight without fading.
Natural Stone Beauty: With its crystalline sparkle and bold veining, quartzite delivers a unique, high-end look.
Low Maintenance: When sealed properly, quartzite resists stains and moisture, making upkeep easy.
Long-Term Investment: Offers a luxurious, lasting surface that enhances the value of your home.
Care Note: Quartzite needs regular sealing to protect against moisture and stains, but daily maintenance is simple with mild cleaners.
Soapstone Countertops
Soapstone is a smooth, natural stone with a soft, matte finish and a timeless, earthy charm. Composed primarily of talc, it has a silky texture and a naturally deep tone that can darken beautifully over time. Popular in both historic and modern homes, soapstone is a favorite for those seeking warmth, character, and a surface that tells a story with age.
Soapstone Countertops Offer
Naturally Non-Porous: Unlike many stones, soapstone doesn’t require sealing—it naturally resists stains and bacteria.
Chemically Inert: It won’t react to acidic substances like lemon juice or wine, making it ideal for kitchens.
Heat Resistant: Soapstone can handle hot pots and pans without damage, making it a top choice for cooking areas.
Aging with Character: Over time, soapstone develops a rich patina, enhancing its natural beauty and uniqueness.
Easy to Maintain: Scratches can be sanded out or blended with mineral oil for a refreshed look.
Care Note: Soapstone is softer than other stones, so it can scratch or dent with heavy impact—but many homeowners appreciate the natural, aged look it develops.
