Countertop Materials That Top The Charts
Quartz. Quartz is one of the most widely used materials. Composed of silicon and oxygen, it’s colorless in its purest state but small amounts of impurities yield a wide variety of vivid colors, textures, and patterns. As a countertop material, quartz is loved for its strength and durability. It doesn’t require routine resealing and is non-porous and easy to clean.
Milestone. This is a collection of quartz that performs well in both indoor and outdoor spaces. It’s available in a variety of styles and neutral colors, including extra white, gray for a natural stone look, and blends of grays, creams, and whites.
Marble. This metamorphic rock is created when a combination of rocks undergo intense pressure and temperatures. It has a soft, smooth appearance with veining patterns that can range from subtle and delicate to dramatic and bold. Marble is a hard, dense stone that’s highly durable and heat resistant—ideal for use in kitchens. It is a natural porous stone, so it will need to be sealed and resealed periodically.
MSI. MSI is one of the top manufacturers for granite and quartz countertops. Their line of products is glamorous, sleek, and sophisticated. MSI stone products are also known for their assortment of materials, colors, and finishes, affordability, and the durability and strength of the materials they offer.
Cambria. This type of stone is manufactured using majority quartz combined with resin, pigments, and bonding agents. Cambria is known for innovation in design. Some designs are made to look like marble or granite, but with significantly increased strength and durability. Cambria stone is also non-porous, making it easier to maintain and clean. Cambria countertops don’t need to be polished or sealed.
Caesarstone. Caesarstone is another type of engineered stone. Quartz is combined with organic pigments, bonding agents, and resins to create a unique color and pattern in a non-porous stone. Caesarstone is a well known name in the quartz category, and one of the most popular materials customers choose.
