Find the right surface.

Explore the character, applications, and care requirements of natural stone and engineered quartz.

Marble

Veined natural stone whose color and movement vary from slab to slab.

Characteristics: Distinct mineral patterns and a surface that develops a patina over time.
Common applications: Vanities, fireplace surrounds, wall cladding, and kitchen surfaces where patina is welcome.
Care: Use a pH-neutral cleaner, wipe spills promptly, and expect acidic liquids to etch the surface.

A natural crystalline stone with patterns ranging from fine grains to large mineral inclusions.

Characteristics: Typically hard and durable, with colors and porosity that vary by slab.
Common applications: Kitchen counters, bars, utility surfaces, and some exterior applications depending on the stone.
Care: Clean with a soft cloth and neutral cleaner. Follow the sealing guidance for the selected slab.

A metamorphic natural stone that can offer delicate movement and a luminous grain.

Characteristics: Often dense and hard. Verify characteristics against the specific material before selection.
Common applications: Kitchen islands, counters, vanity tops, and architectural accents.
Care: Use a neutral cleaner, wipe spills, and follow the care and sealing requirements for the slab.

An engineered surface with a controlled palette and patterns that can be consistent across pieces.

Characteristics: Usually low porosity. Composition, heat resistance, and finish vary by manufacturer.
Common applications: Interior kitchen, bath, and commercial surfaces compatible with the selected product.
Care: Use a trivet for hot cookware and follow the manufacturer’s cleaning and use guidance.
