Granite

Granite is a gift from Mother Nature, no two pieces of this natural stone are the same. Selecting the right surface and color is essential in designing your dream ambiance. With a rich and durable beauty, it is almost unfeasible to scratch under everyday kitchen use and even stain resistant when it is properly sealed. It is also heat resistant, you could build fire on top of it, and it’d remain the same.

Quartz

Made partially of one of the hardest minerals on earth, quartz countertops come in a wide assortment of shades. It is made of approximately 90 percent stone, consolidated with polyester tars to bond it. It comes in endless colors, patterns and sometimes reused glass, sea shells or metallic specks are added to the mix. These counters are non porous, therefore they do not stain easily and are very hygienic, not to mention scratch safe, hardly ever needing to be fixed. Quartz is ideal for indoor applications and is maintenance free!

Marble

Because of its timeless beauty, it is the favorite stone for sculptors and architects. Marble is a symbol of tradition and refined taste. It is more delicate than granite and often used in bathrooms (vanities, bathtub surrounds, shower seats), thresholds and fireplaces. Its inherent warmth ads an elegant element to the area in which it is installed.

Quartzite

This natural beauty resembles marble, but is typically more durable than granite, making it a highly sought after material. For those who are looking for the "marble look", but not the maintenance and care that it requires, this is the stone for you. Quartzite is a very versatile stone and recommended for most projects, from kitchen countertops, to vanities or fireplaces.

Onyx

Natural, luxurious, glamorous - this delicate form of quartz is translucent and is accentuated when back lit. Wildly unique, it is found in a variety of patterns and colors. Bar tops, walls and islands are where this stone is best used.

Limestone

Limestone adds a very elegant look to projects. With soft earth tones, it is often chosen by designers and architects for its sophisticated concept. Limestone is usually dense and durable, making it perfect for both indoor or outdoor projects.

Soapstone

Very dense and nonporous, soapstone does not absorb liquids nor stain like most other natural stones do. It is famous for being heat proof and often used on fireplaces and outdoor projects. Because of its softness (it can be scratched with a fingernail), it’s only recommended for a kitchen countertop when a rustic look is wished.

Edge Finishes

Different edges will bring life to your project. Maryland Style Marble & Granite offers two basic edges at no extra cost: Straight/ Flat Polish and 1/4 Round. Come check our "all edges" table, and we will help you select the perfect match to your project.
