Marble slabs' bright and elegant look will give any bathroom or kitchen sink a striking presence that is sure to make an impression.

IN FRANKLIN, TN
Quartz countertops are increasing in popularity, and for good reason. Quartz has many unique properties that make it an appealing choice when considering what material to choose for your next countertop. For starters, quartz is not a porous material. This means that unlike granite, you won’t have to ever worry about getting it resealed, because it naturally will not absorb any liquids or foods on top of it. This also makes it very anti-bacterial, which makes it a great choice for kitchens and bathrooms. Quartz is also highly customizable, as pigments can be added to change the color to your liking. Quartz also has a large benefit in that it is more easily malleable than it’s stone counterparts. Due to resins mixed into quartz, it allows for designers to create beautiful shapes that can give your sinks and countertops a level of flair sure to impress your guests.
Quartzite
IN FRANKLIN, TN
Similar in name to quartz, you might find yourself asking the obvious, “what’s the difference between quartz and quartzite?” There are many different properties to both materials, but the biggest being the process in which these materials are made. Quartz is made through a process by man, where the original quartz rock is mined from the earth, turned to dust, then put back together into large, uniform slabs. Quartzite, on the other hand, preserves its naturally occurring look from the Earth because it is mined in large blocks, then cut into slabs to be sold. Because of this, quartzite countertops will always provide a gorgeous and unique look that can never be replicated perfectly. With its durability and low maintenance, quartzite is also resistant to harmful ultraviolet rays, making it a great choice for outdoor countertops.

Dolomite is a sedimentary rock derived from limestone, rich in magnesium often picked up from mineral water, giving it a gorgeous light-colored appearance that makes a great alternative to marble when looking for a brighter countertop. A more affordable option than marble, dolomite also boasts being a more durable material that is less fragile and susceptible to cracks or scratches. If properly taken care of, dolomite countertops will last you decades while maintaining its serene look.

A warm-colored natural stone, soapstone’s smooth and dark look will give your countertops a rustic look that will accent your kitchen or bathroom stunningly. Colors of soapstone can range from a light gray to deep green, and mineral oil can be applied to the stone to adjust the darkness of the color to your liking. Soapstone’s workability makes it a great choice in the kitchen, as it rivals stainless steel in its ability to withstand heat and resists stains. Like quartz, soapstone doesn’t require sealing, staving off bacteria and keeping maintenance costs down.
