A bright white kitchen with a quartz waterfall island over stained wood cabinetry, brass pendant lights and a white oak floor, fabricated and installed by Pro Granite

Countertops

Nine stones. A straight answer on each.

We fabricate all of them, so we have no reason to sell you the wrong one. What each stone is, what it costs relative to the others, how it behaves in a kitchen that gets used — including the two we will talk you out of.

Choose the material first

Everything else — the colour, the edge, the finish — is a decision you can make later and change your mind about. This is the one that determines how the countertop behaves for the next twenty years.

Quartz

Engineered, non-porous, never needs sealing.

If you only read one thing

How to narrow it down in a minute

You put hot pans straight down

Rule out quartz — the resin scorches and the mark is permanent. Granite, quartzite and porcelain all take it without complaint.

You want marble

Then decide whether you want the patina. Marble etches within the first year and no sealer stops it. If you want the look without the marks, that is quartzite.

You will never seal anything

Quartz, porcelain and soapstone never need it. Every natural stone except soapstone does.

It is going outside, or in full sun

Porcelain. Quartz yellows under sustained UV, and that is the one failure that is not covered.

You want real stone on a budget

Granite, and it is not close. Skip the busy brown-and-gold slabs that date a kitchen and look at leathered blacks and greys.

You care most about how it feels

Soapstone. Nothing you spill can hurt it, it darkens with use, and a scratch sands out at home in five minutes.

Next step

Bring the room, not the swatch

A photograph cannot tell you how a slab moves in daylight, and no two are the same. Bring your cabinet door and a photo of the room — we will put them against the stone.
