Granite Countertops
Granite countertops are the most widely used option that is available on the market. It is a natural stone that is cut directly from the earth and polished to bring out the colours of the stone. The variety of colours occur as a result of the various minerals in the stone, which gives it a sense of uniqueness and exclusivity – no two countertops will be exactly the same.
Quartz is a natural mineral found in the earth. Quartz countertops are a mixture of quartz minerals and other natural stones like granite which have been crushed and processed along with polymers. Loved for their modern, timeless and sophisticated feel, Quartz countertops are available in a wide range of colours to suit your design style.
Marble remains a popular choice for countertops despite its high-maintenance nature. As far as beauty is concerned, it’s probably the most enticing quality of marble countertops. The stone is made from limestone that has been superheated to form its unique crystalline structure.
Porcelain tiles are a viable choice when considering countertop options, especially those ranging in size from 24” upwards. Porcelain tiles are made from clay and baked for longer durations and at higher temperature than ceramic tiles. The finished tile is dense, with a low absorption rate and is resistant to UV rays.
