Stone Care

Quartz is an engineered stone made from natural quartz crystals and resin. It is non-porous and durable. It is heat, scratch, and stain resistant. We always recommend Quartz in kitchens due to these factors.

• Cleaning: Wipe down quartz surfaces with a mixture of mild soap and water. Avoid abrasive scrubbers.

• Stain Resistance: Quartz is highly resistant to stains due to its non-porous nature. To be safe, always clean spills promptly. If you have a stain on your quartz, we recommend using Simple Green liquid concentrate all-purpose cleaner and following the directions on the bottle.

• Heat Resistance: Quartz is typically not very heat-resistant, it's best to use trivets or hot pads to prevent thermal shock. Extreme heat, fire, or UV can permanently damage the stone as quartz contains epoxy/resin.

• Avoid Harsh Chemicals: Refrain from using harsh chemicals or bleach on quartz surfaces.

Quartzite is a natural stone with a similar appearance to marble but with superior durability and heat resistance.

• Sealing: Quartzite may require periodic sealing, depending on the stone's porosity. Consult us for guidance on a specific slab.

• Cleaning: Use a pH-balanced stone cleaner to avoid damaging the surface.

• Heat Resistance: Quartzite is highly heat-resistant, making it suitable for kitchen applications. However, always be extra cautious for long term care.

• Scratch Prevention: While durable, quartzite can be scratched by abrasive materials, so use cutting boards and protect the surface.

Granite is a natural stone known for its durability, resistance to heat, and unique patterns. It's an ideal choice for countertops, bathroom vanities, and outdoor applications.

• Sealing: Granite is porous and should be sealed regularly, usually every 1-2 years, to prevent stains.

• Cleaning: Use a mild detergent and a soft cloth to clean granite surfaces. Avoid acidic or abrasive cleaners.

• Heat Resistance: Granite is heat-resistant, but it's advisable to use trivets or hot pads to protect the surface from extreme temperatures.

• Avoid Cutting Directly: Use cutting boards to prevent knife marks on granite countertops.

Marble is a luxurious natural stone with unique veining and patterns, commonly used for countertops, flooring, and decorative accents.

• Sealing: Marble is porous and requires regular sealing (every 6-12 months) to prevent stains.

• Cleaning: Use a mild, pH-balanced stone cleaner to clean marble surfaces.

• Stain Sensitivity: Marble is sensitive to acidic substances, such as citrus, so wipe up spills promptly.

• Heat Resistance: While marble is heat-resistant, use caution with hot cookware to prevent potential damage.
