Installing new stone countertops in your home is an investment into its value. New countertops, specifically in a kitchen or bathroom, have great resale value and can last decades if cared for properly.

Granite, soapstone, quartzite and marble are all durable, natural stone, cut directly from the earth. Each slab is one of a kind. These materials require a bit more upkeep compared to a man made product like quartz. Quartz  is made by mixing quartz aggregate, dies and binders. The slabs are formed under intense heat and pressure, making them very durable and non porous.

Natural stones such as granite can stain. Sealers should be applied at least once a year to reduce the likelihood of staining. Quartz is more stain resistant than granite, but still susceptible to a certain degree. Most stains can be almost completely removed if necessary.

Although stones and quartz  are extremely durable, they can chip with heavy abuse. Chips can be easily repaired by using colored epoxy with small pieces of stone aggregate mixed in.

With enough heavy usage, both manufactured stone and natural stone can be damaged. Although most natural stones and quartz are scratch resistant, they are not scratch proof. Light scratches can usually be polished away. Please review your product’s Care and Maintenance information for specific care instructions.
