FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

Q: How long will it take for my counter tops to be installed?

A: From template to install, the entire process takes 1-3 weeks depending on the type of material you choose. 

Q: What is the difference between Natural Stone and Engineered Quartz?

A: Natural stone counter tops can be granite, marble, quartzite, soapstone, limestone and travertine. Natural means it has been directly pulled from the earth and will display distinct markings such as veins, mineral colour, crystals and speckle. Every stone is different and should be considered a work of art.  Natural stone is unaffected by heat but is more prone to chipping and cracking and requires maintenance such as sealant. Many natural stones are also easily stained and are affected by acids from citrus fruits, harsh chemicals and even wine.

Engineered Quartz is a newer technology and is becoming very popular amongst designers and home builders alike. Theses surfaces are created using malleable resins, special glues, ground up quartz and other materials to create almost exact replicas of natural stone. Engineered quartz is nonporous and very hard to stain. It is less likely to chip or crack and does not require sealers.
