KITCHEN COUNTERTOPS
1.
1) Cosentino Silestone Quartz is our most popular countertop material. It is a hard surface made from premium natural minerals and recycled materials that’s highly resistant to stains and acids commonly used in kitchens and very easy to maintain. This material allows the installation of an under-mount sink. 2) Cosentino Dekton is becoming more popular. This product is ultra-compact and high performance, making it suitable for indoor and outdoor surfaces. It has high resistance to scratches, stains, fire and heat. Like the Cosentino Silestone Quartz you’re able to use under-mount sinks in your design. 3) Natural stone, marble, quartzite, granite and soapstone create beautiful unique counter tops. Expect no uniform colours or patterns and keep in mind natural stone is not as forgiving or easy to maintain as quartz and dekton. You can install an

under-mount sink, but you will need seal the countertop to resist stains. 4) Butcherblock is available in many different types of wood, but it’s best to avoid installing near your sinks or water. Butcherblock is great for islands, but be sure to maintain regularly. 5) Post-form laminate is economical, easy to maintain, and available in a multitude of finishes. It’s not recommended to use with an under-mount sink as the base material will absorb water.
