Kitchen and bathroom surfaces
Countertops, templated and installed to your cabinetry
Quartz, granite, quartzite, marble and solid surface. We template to the cabinets we set, so the seams land where they should and the overhangs are right.

The decisions that change how a counter reads
Material is only half of it. Edge, seam placement, backsplash height and overhang do as much work, and they are easier to judge from a finished room than from a sample chip.
Choosing a material
What each surface is actually like to live with
Every one of these looks good on day one. The difference shows up in year three, so this is written around how they behave rather than how they photograph.
Quartz
Ground quartz bound with resin, engineered for consistent colour.
Non porous, low maintenance, resistant to heat and scratching. The safe choice if you cook a lot and do not want to think about sealing.
Granite
A natural rock, so every slab has its own veins, specks and swirls.
Strong on heat and scratching, and supplied pre sealed for stain protection. No two kitchens end up identical.
Quartzite
Natural stone with marble style veining and the durability of granite.
Harder than glass, resistant to heat and scratching, pre sealed for easy cleaning. The option people choose when they want marble’s look without marble’s worry.
Marble
The most elegant veining of any natural stone, and the most demanding.
Low resistance to heat and staining, and it reacts to anything acidic. Beautiful, and a real commitment. We will tell you honestly whether it suits how you use the room.
Solid surface
A man made acrylic surface, seamless across long runs.
Non porous, very resistant to heat and stains, and cracks or chips can be repaired in place rather than replaced.
Not sure yet
That is normal, and it is what the showroom is for.
Bring the cabinet door and the floor sample. Surfaces are chosen against the things they sit next to, never on their own.
Virtual Studio
Try a surface against your own cabinets
Counters are hard to judge alone. Put one next to a cabinet door and a backsplash in the visualizer, keep a list of what worked, then come and hold the real samples.

Questions we get every week
The two that decide most projects
Should the backsplash match the countertop?
It does not have to be one colour. You can repeat a tone from the counter and bring in others to pick up the cabinets or the floor. Premade mosaic strips make that easier than cutting it yourself.
See backsplash and kitchen tile.
Can I replace only the counters?
Often yes, and it is one of the cheaper ways to change how a kitchen reads. It depends on the cabinet boxes being sound and level, which we check before quoting rather than after.

Then come and see the slabs
Screens flatten stone. Veining, depth and gloss only read properly in person, and the samples are on the floor in Laguna Hills.
Photographs are a shortlist, not a decision. Hold two or three against your own cabinet door and the choice usually makes itself.
