Move over granite and make room for engineered stone.

Granite has long been the consumers choice for countertops. Known for it's natural beauty, granite is resistant to heat, stains and scratches. But there is a new player on the market called engineered stone. Some say it is in fact superior to granite in some aspects.

Engineered stone is in fact more than 90% natural quartz; the hardest non-precious stone there is. Granite is 40-60 percent quartz with the remaining makeup being softer minerals and impurities.

Engineered stone is non-porous and therefore requires less maintenance than granite. As it is non-porous, engineered stone has an even great resistance to bacteria and stains. And best of all, engineered stone comes with a 10 year warranty which is substantial considering granite has none.

Not just for the kitchen...

Engineered stone can be used in many difference spaces both commercially and residentially. Engineered stone can be installed as a shower or tub surround, used for floors, desks or bar tops. If you can imagine it, we can build it.

Advantages

You are first drawn to engineered stone by it's rich color and unique patterns. But its durability and low maintenance make it a joy for years to come.

Drop a knife or spill some wine? No worry. Need to set a hot plate down? Go ahead. The minor bumps and mishaps that might scratch, chip or discolor other surfaces are no problem with engineered stone. That's because engineered stone starts with the natural qualities of quartz, and adds a level of performance that truly set it apart from all other surfaces.

Low Maintenance: This lustrous surface maintains a permanent sheen, so sealing, conditioning and polishing are never needed.
Stain and bacteria resistant: The non-porous surface helps keep kitchens and baths sanitary and clean.
Heat resistant: By enhancing the natural qualities of quartz, engineered stone provides a surface that provides a greater level of heat resistance than most surfaces.
Damage resistant: The lustrous sheen offers a level of resistance to scratching, chipping or cracking that few other surfaces can match.
Easy to clean: Soap and water or mild cleansers are sufficient for cleaning; harsh cleansers and abrasives are never needed. In fact, they should be avoided.
Solid value: When compared to other natural stone surfaces, engineered stone represents a solid value within its class.
10-year guarantee: All our engineered stone surfaces carry a 10-year transferable warranty against manufacturer defects, beginning at the date of installation
