Marble and Quartzite

Quartz is engineered: natural quartz ground and bound with resin, which makes it non-porous, consistent in pattern and effectively maintenance free. Quartzite is a natural stone cut straight from the earth, so every slab is unique and it handles heat better, but it does need sealing. Both are in stock at our yards, and the easiest way to decide is to stand in front of them.

Granite is hard wearing and heat resistant, and no two slabs match. Quartz is non-porous and the lowest maintenance of the three, which is why it is the usual pick for busy family kitchens. Marble gives you a look nothing else quite matches, but it is softer and more prone to etching and staining, so it suits a baking counter or a bathroom better than a hard-working island.

Once your project reaches production approval, meaning sink and cooktop dimensions, backsplash measurements and CAD are all confirmed and the balance is paid, installation is currently running about seven days out. Templating happens before that, and the install itself is usually a single day for a typical kitchen.

Sometimes a seam is unavoidable, because slabs come in fixed sizes and large or complex layouts run past them. What we control is where it lands. We lay your cuts out on the actual slab so the veining continues across the joint and the seam falls somewhere your eye does not go, such as beside a sink cutout rather than across an open run.

Yes. We are an authorised Wells Fargo home improvement dealer and offer special financing from 12 up to 60 months, subject to credit approval. It covers countertops, cabinets and flooring, so a whole kitchen can go on one plan.
