Since granite rock is composed from crystals, we are able to pick from several colors. As a result, it is offered in several shades of blue, brown, green, orange, pink, black, gray, and white.
Regardless of how hard you may try, you are never going to find two slabs that are exactly the same. Each slab is cut out of blocks that are removed from solid formations of rock.
Natural rock leave beautiful pits and fissures into the slab making it even more special for your home.
Quartz is significantly stronger than granite. There are only three other stones that are stronger: topaz, sapphire, and diamond. You will need extreme force and weight to damage a quartz countertop.
Being non-porous is the biggest advantage of quartz counters when compared to other natural stone counter materials. This means quartz will not absorb water or other fluids, making it resistant to stains and bacteria.
The appearance of quartz surfaces largely depends on the size of the quartz granules used. Finer granules will result in a more consistent appearance. While larger crystals will create a more speckled look, similar to granite countertops.
Marble is formed initially from a dolomite rock or limestone transformed under intense heat in the center of the earth’s surface. These intense conditions causing limestone to transform, creating the distinctive patterns and colors of marble.
Marble stone is made deep within the earth, out of volcanic and igneous activity because of this process it makes the marble heat resistant.
Marble has a unique color quality that shows a dramatic contrast between the overall color and the veins of an alternate color.
