Granite and Marble are natural stone surfaces. Each offers a remarkable array of color choices and one-of-a-kind pattern. Since, they are a natural stone and somewhat porous, they do require simple care to maintain their natural beauty. Granite is the least porous and should be sealed periodically depending on your use. You can place hot pots directly on a granite surface without fear of burning or scorching the surface. You can cut on granite as well as roll out dough for your favorite recipe, making granite a perfect surface for kitchen countertops.
Marble on the other hand is cool to the touch and is often used in kitchens for dough and candy making. However, it is not quite as durable as granite and is more often used in bathrooms for vanity tops, shower walls and flooring. Marble is also an excellent choice for fireplace surrounds and truly can be considered for any flooring area in your home.
CaesarStone®, sometimes referred to as Engineered Stone is comprised of 93% Quartz andhigh-quality polymer resins and pigments. It is a manufactured stone surface, non-porous, easy to maintain and comes in a wide range of consistent color choices. Travertine and Limestone can be used anywhere in your home.
