If you're looking to install new countertops or build a new home, you want to know which surface is best. Choosing which solid surface materials to use can be difficult. Each material has different properties that make them suitable for a variety of purposes. Learn more below:
Quartz
An engineered stone surface available in a wide variety of colors and patterns. Its nonporous surface offers excellent stain resistance and generally requires little maintenance.
Marble
An elegant natural stone known for distinctive veining. Marble requires additional care because it is susceptible to scratching, staining, and acid etching.
Granite
A durable natural stone with unique colors and patterns. Granite provides a timeless appearance and can perform well for many years with proper care.
Quartzite
A natural stone valued for its hardness and distinctive appearance. Care and sealing requirements vary by the specific stone.​

Soapstone
A smooth, nonporous natural stone that resists acids and develops a distinctive patina over time. Scratches can often be treated or blended into the surface.
Semi-precious stones
Distinctive decorative surfaces incorporating stones such as agate and amethyst. These materials can create striking statement pieces.
