Obtained from the cooling of the earth’s magma, granite is known for its strong and heat-resistant properties. It requires the application of a sealant to avoid surface porosity, mainly with oily materials. Granite provides a whole new look to all types of countertops.<\/p>\n

This stone is the result of the crystallization of calcareous sediments and offers unique patterns determined by its natural place of extraction. Marble is known for its heat resistance and durability. As with granite, it is important to apply a sealant to protect it from possible infiltration. Marble embellishes the mantle of a fireplace, among other items.<\/p>\n

Quartz is mainly made up of the assembly of natural quartz and resin, to which colour pigments are added. Along with the quality of the material and its aesthetic component, the great benefit of such an assembly is its non-porous appearance, as well as its modern style and the wide range of colours available. Its durability is also well known. Quartz covers kitchen countertops.<\/p>\n
