Countertop Guide

Quartz is a countertop material formed through compression, and a benefit of quartz is that it comes in a wide range of colours, especially light shades. Quartz options are available for traditional and modern kitchens and other spaces.

As a material, ceramic differs from natural stone and quartz. Its heat resistance, and low maintenance make ceramic an excellent choice of material for kitchen countertops.

Two surface treatment options are available for natural stone: polishing or diamond-brushing.

Stone is a hard, durable and low-maintenance countertop material and proper care will only increase its lifespan.

Stone countertops should be measured and installed with care. We offer a countertop measurement and installation service along with our countertops, and it is available in most municipalities. You can also measure and install the countertop yourself; please read the instructions in the Countertop Guide.
