Countertop Types
Quartz
Natural quartz countertops bring true elegance to your home and help you create the dream space you’ve always imagined. With over 100 designs, quartz is visually captivating while providing more durability than granite. Offering the perfect combination of form and function, all of Cambria’s surfaces are stain, scratch, and heat-resistant — a carefree option for any space in your home.
Granite
Granite has been the most popular countertop for many reasons. It is a solid stone known for its durability and beautiful variety of colors and patterns. The colors can range from classic black, gray, and white to unique blends of hues. The presence of crystals within the stone gives granite an almost magical appearance. Each countertop is one-of-a-kind, as it is cut from a polished slab, providing a custom look for your dream kitchen.
Marble
Marble countertops are made from limestone, which undergoes a high-temperature superheating process to form its distinct crystalline structure. This results in a visually striking surface characterized by beautiful veining patterns that add depth and sophistication to any interior design. The unique aesthetic creates a timeless elegance for kitchens and bathrooms, making it a popular choice among homeowners and designers.
Soapstone
Soapstone is an excellent choice for countertops. It’s natural grey color and smooth surface can add a luxurious feel to your kitchen, balancing coolness with elegance. As a natural stone, soapstone is quarried much like granite. It primarily consists of the mineral talc, which makes it relatively soft. However, when used for countertops it typically contains a higher percentage of quartz, which enhances its hardness and suitability for everyday use.
Wood
Wood countertops, with their ability to create a variety of moods, can add a finished look to many different styles of kitchens. Butcher block can bring in a rustic feel, while finished wood can create a warm and elegant ambiance. The classic choice of wood is due to its rich texture and the range of moods it can set. Unfinished wood introduces a farmhouse element, and teak countertops can add a touch of elegance to a classic kitchen.
Solid Surface
Solid surface is a high-quality countertop material known for its durability, variety of color options, and smooth finish. It is resistant to stains, scratches, and damage from environmental factors, such as sun exposure. Like granite, solid surface is uniform throughout, contributing to its impressive durability, making it an ideal choice for heavily used countertops. Additionally, the consistent color throughout the surface adds to its popularity.
Cultured Marble
Marbelite is a premium product that combines art and science. This composite material is made from crushed stone, high-strength resins, and color pigments, all fused together with a sanitary coating. The result is Marbelite, a blend of elegance and functionality that transforms your bath into a true spa experience. This cultured stone is available in stunning vanity tops, sinks, and showers.
Laminate
Once a prime choice for countertops, laminate is back in the spotlight — this time with a higher-end restyling alongside its affordable price range. Easy to install and maintain, modern laminates are manufactured with several environmentally friendly considerations: they’re recyclable, free of air-damaging chemicals and sourced from paper, not plastic. Choose from an array of style and size options for a look that will transform your kitchen or bath.
