CHANDLER, Ariz. - April 8, 2013 - PRLog -- Countertops.com of Arizona specializes in custom, high-quality stone counter tops for any home or business project.  We offer a large variety of different stone materials including: granite, quartz, and marble.  Sometimes it can be confusing to pick the right stone for your project. Each stone has a unique beauty, style, and innate qualities that make it more suitable for some projects. Our design experts can help you pick the right stone for your project. Here is a short-run down about each of our stones:

         Granite is a natural stone found in the Earth’s crust. Its natural beauty, color variation and durability make it an excellent option for any counter top. It is a non-porous stone, which makes it easy to clean and less susceptible to residual bacteria, mold, and mildew. Granite also resists heat, scratches and stains. Granite is a great stone for any project.

         Quartz counter tops are engineered stone counter tops. They are man-made using 90% quartz natural stone and 8-10% resins and polymers to bind the quartz together. Quartz is extremely hard and non-porous. Quartz is also scratch resistant and made with anti-microbial protection for easy clean and care. Quartz is also a great stone for any project.

         Marble is known for its timeless elegance and has been relied on to add beauty to buildings for centuries. It has a clean and continuous look. Marble is a soft-stone with a porous finish and requires extra care when being used in a kitchen. Marble is not heat resistant and needs to be protected from hot pans. It is highly recommended for bathroom and commercial counter tops. Marble kitchen counter tops will require more care and attention.

         When thinking of remodeling your current counters or when building new ones, it is important to pick the best material for your project. Discuss your wants, needs, and budget with a Countertops.com designer in order to pick the perfect stone for you.
