NATURAL STONE

A natural stone known for its durability and beauty. Formed from volcanic rock, it features a unique blend of minerals that creates stunning patterns and colors. This versatile material is often used for countertops, flooring, and other surfaces, making it a popular choice for both residential and commercial spaces. Its resistance to heat, scratches, and stains makes it an ideal option for high-traffic areas.

Does natural stone need to be sealed?

Yes, we recommend sealing natural stone countertops at least once every 3-5 years. Sealing helps prevent moisture and oils from penetrating the stone, keeping it protected from stains and damage.

Are there different edge profiles available?

Yes, we offer a variety of edge profiles for your natural stone countertops, including popular styles like bullnose, beveled, and ogee. These options help customize the look and feel of your countertops.

Will my countertops have visible seams?

Depending on the size and layout of your countertop, seams may be necessary. Our installers take great care to make them as inconspicuous as possible, matching the pattern of the stone to minimize their visibility.

How much does natural stone cost compared to other countertop materials?

Natural Stone prices vary depending on the color, style, and installation requirements. While it tends to be more expensive than laminate or solid surface countertops, it is often more affordable than quartz or marble. We offer competitively priced granite through our Program Natural Stone options.

CARE AND MAINTENANCE

Proper countertop care keeps them looking great and lasting longer. Clean regularly, avoid harsh cleaners, and protect surfaces from scratches and stains. Simple maintenance goes a long way!

Daily Cleaning
  • Use Mild Cleaners: Wipe down your surface with warm water and a few drops of mild dish soap. Avoid harsh chemicals and acidic cleaners, as they can damage the finish.
  • Soft Cloth: Always use a soft cloth or sponge for cleaning to prevent scratches. Microfiber cloths are excellent for this purpose.
Sealing
  • Regular Sealing: To protect against stains and moisture, seal your granite surfaces every 1-3 years. A quality sealer will enhance durability and keep your countertops looking their best.
  • Testing for Sealing: To check if your countertop needs sealing, sprinkle a few drops of water on the surface. If the water beads up, the seal is intact. If it soaks in, it’s time to reseal.
Preventing Damage
  • Use Cutting Boards: Always use cutting boards to prevent scratches. Iit’s best to avoid cutting directly on the surface.
  • Trivets and Coasters: Place trivets under hot pots and pans to avoid heat damage. Coasters can help prevent water rings from glasses.
Spill Response
  • Immediate Cleanup: Promptly clean up spills, especially from acidic substances like lemon juice, vinegar, or wine. Use a damp cloth to wipe away spills to prevent etching or staining.
Avoiding Harsh Products
  • No Abrasives: Do not use abrasive pads or scouring powders, as these can scratch the surface of your countertop.
  • Avoid Bleach: Keep bleach and ammonia-based cleaners away from your surface, as they can cause discoloration.
