Style Spotlight
Natural Granite Countertops
Granite is a unique natural stone quarried around the world. Because it is formed by volcanic activity over millions of years, no two slabs are ever identical. Every installation features distinct minerals, swirling patterns, and deep color flecks that add a one-of-a-kind, organic style to your home.
Why choose granite countertops in MN?
- High heat resistance: Granite is incredibly resilient to heat, allowing you to place hot pans and baking sheets directly on the surface without risk of melting, burning, or cracking.
- Completely unique slabs: Choosing granite guarantees that your kitchen or bath will feature a unique design with natural variations that cannot be replicated by artificial manufacturing.
- Long-lasting hardness: Extremely tough and structurally solid, granite resists major impacts, structural cracks, and deep chipping from daily kitchen activities.
Style Spotlight
Engineered Quartz Countertops
Quartz is a highly advanced engineered surface crafted by combining natural quartz minerals with premium resins and color pigments. This process allows manufacturers to design perfectly consistent patterns, mimicking the elegant look of luxury marble with none of the delicate maintenance requirements.
Why choose quartz countertops in the Twin Cities?
- Nonporous and hygienic The resin binding creates a completely solid, nonporous surface that naturally blocks moisture, food liquids, and bacteria from penetrating the stone.
- Completely unique slabs: Unlike natural stones, engineered quartz is permanently sealed during manufacturing, completely eliminating the need for periodic resealing.
- Long-lasting hardness: Because it is manufactured under controlled conditions, quartz delivers highly predictable patterns, uniform colors, and clean marble-style veining across seams.
What to Consider
Choosing the right countertop.
Material
Choosing between the completely unique look of natural granite and the low-maintenance consistency of engineered quartz impacts your daily cleaning routine and overall budget.
Edge Profile
Selecting an edge design, such as a clean eased edge, a rounded bullnose, or a decorative Ogee edge, changes the architectural look of your finished cabinetry.
Slab Thickness
Countertops typically come in different thicknesses, which dictate how much weight the surface can support and whether your cabinets require extra structural support.
Sealing Requirements
Natural stones require simple periodic sealing to maintain their stain resistance, whereas manufactured quartz surfaces remain permanently stain-resistant without any maintenance.
