Our Quartz suppliers have a large selection of "engineered" quartz countertops. You find that because they are "engineered" their appearance is more consistent when compared to marble and granite which are natural stones. Natural quartz surfacing is made from 100% natural quartz cut from blocks into slabs. The slabs are custom cut to create countertops. Quartz is naturally non-porous and scratch resistant. Engineered quartz surfacing is made from approximately 95% natural quartz and 5% polymer resins. Countertops are custom made and are more scratch resistant as well as less porous than natural quartz surfaces.

We work with many stoneyards to provide you the largest selection of granite. Since granite is a natural stone and its appearance varies, you should plan to visit one of our partner's stoneyards to make the perfect section for your kitchen if you choose granite for your countertops. Granite forms a major part of our continental crust. It occurs in less than 100 km² stock masses that are often associated with mountain ranges. Granite has a medium to coarse texture. It can be pink to dark gray or even black, depending on their chemistry and mineralogy. Granite is nearly always massive, hard and tough, and therefore it has gained widespread use as a construction stone.

Marble, like granite, is a natural stone. We work with many stoneyards to provide you the largest selection of marble. Since marble is a natural stone and its appearance varies, you should plan to visit one of our partner's stoneyards to make the perfect section for your kitchen if you choose marble for your countertops. Pure white marble is the result of metamorphism of very pure limestones. The characteristic swirls and veins of many colored marble varieties are usually due to various mineral impurities such as clay, silt, sand, iron oxides, or chert which were originally present as grains or layers in the limestone. Green coloration is often due to serpentine resulting from originally high magnesium limestone or dolostone with silica impurities. These various impurities have been mobilized and recrystallized by the intense pressure and heat of the metamorphism.

Wooden Countertops can come in a variety of designs ranging from Butcher's Block to Traditional Plank to Single Wide Stave. Wood is considered to be the most eco-friendly option when it comes to choosing a kitchen countertop as wood is a renewable resource. Wood countertops must be thoroughly cleaned and disinfected after contact with foods such as raw meat. Bacterial growth can occur in cracks and crevices not properly disinfected.

Luxury countertops can become a burdensome share of your overall construction budget, and could prevent you from getting that professional range, custom cabinetry or built-in refrigerator. Laminate has always enjoyed a position at the bargain end of the cost spectrum. While special edges and undermount sinks can add to the final price tag, an upgraded laminate top still leaves plenty of room in the budget, compared to other materials

• Plastic
A very common style is the formed plastic laminate countertop. These are factory-produced with a single thin sheet of laminate curved and glued over medium-density fiberboard or other similar base material. The base material is shaped to provide an integrated front edge, work surface, and backsplash, and on the job site, need only be cut to length before installation (and possibly, have an end trim applied using a glue if the end of the countertop is exposed). Factory-made miter-cut pieces are also available, allowing the easy production of "inside corners".
• Wood Edge
Self or wood edge plastic laminate countertops are also very popular for those who chose to have few or no surface seams. In this style, the top shop uses substrate for the countertop out of MDF, or particle board and then glue sheets of laminate to the substrate using contact cement. The laminate is then trimmed using a router. This method can't reproduce the curved contours of post-formed countertopping but can be made to easily conform to a much-wider range of floor plans with fewer seams.

Custom architectural crafted glass, tempered glass, textured glass pieces, and the ancient art of Verre églomisé, or reverse gilded glass, are applied to contemporary uses including countertops, backsplashes, and tabletops. Glass work may be customized to suit by craftsmen in the studio, then installed on site either in small components (such as a kitchen countertop composed of three rectangles of verre églomisé) or as immense, single units (for example, a glass countertop and sink basin formed of one continuous piece of textured glass). The glass is non-porous, relatively stain-proof, extremely hygienic, and "extremely heat resistant (up to 700 degrees)."[3] Much work is being done to "recycle" glass using sources such as post consumer glass or post industrial float glass. The material can be crushed or cut into strips that is heated until the softening point of glass, binding the loose material back into a solid form.

• IceStone
Made Of Recycled Glass And Concrete, IceStone® surfaces are the ideal choice if you are searching for an eco-friendly, green countertop.

Tile, including ceramic tile and stone tile, is installed in much the same way as flat lay laminate except that the gaps between the tiles are grouted after the tile has been glued down.
