Granite
Granite is a form of Igneous Rock. Granite is composed primarily of Quartz, Alkalie, and Felspar. Granite is a very dense stone, weighing from 150-190 pounds per cubic foot. This density adds to its strength. Many types of Granite have a low water absorption rate, however they are not impervious to liquids. Many types of Granite have a high compressive strength and abrasion resistance compared to other stones. Granite is not reactive to most acids. What does all this technical stuff mean? It translates into the strongest countertop material available, less possibility of straining, very scratch resistant, eternally durable, and most of all... Elegantly Beautiful!
Granite Facts
- Granite is nearly impossible to scratch. In most cases you will dull your knives before you scratch your counter top.
- Granite accepts hot pots and pans right from your oven/burner without a trace of scorching.
- Once sealed, granite will not stain under normal everyday use, if ever.
- Granite does not harbor bacteria.
- The granite surface is not affected by citric acid, coffee, tea, alcohol, wine, etc.
- Generally granite lasts forever.
Engineered Stone
Also known as Quartz Surfacing, Engineered Stone combines the natural beauty of Quartz stone and man-made composite. Quartz is one of the hardest elements found in nature and can be compared with the strength of diamonds. This unique quality makes Engineered Stone extremely scratch resistant - sharp objects and knives will not scratch your surface.
Engineered stone is also non-porous making it resistant to kitchen spills and bacterial growth. In addition, it is maintenance free and does not require any type of sealing.Caring for Engineered Stone is easy, regular household cleaners or warm soapy water will keep this surface appearing brand new, always maintaining a shine. Creative Granite & Design deals with the most renowned quality Engineered Stone companies who offer a vast array of colors.
Solid Surface
Solid surface countertops have been popular for decades because of their clean and uniform appearance. Made of solid synthetic sheets formed by mixing a mineral compound with polyester and/or acrylic resins, the patterns or colors remain throughout. Solid surfaces come in a variety of colors and finishes that can range from gloss to matte.
Creative Granite & Design offers unlimited design possibilities with solid surfaces, such as: custom inlays, routed drain boards, special edging, accents, and coved backsplashes.
