Whether it’s Granite or Quartz
We can help you get the countertops you’ve always dreamed of
Granite
Granite is the best known igneous rock found at earth’s surface. It is hard enough to resist abrasions, bears significant weight, sustains being outside and accepts a brilliant polish. Those are just a few of the qualities that make granite a perfect option for your countertops.
With over 100 colour options, Natural Stone City offers the biggest selection of granite slabs in Southern Ontario, from standard colours to super exotic options. With slabs being directly shipped from Italy and elsewhere, we carefully select each of them keeping our customers in mind. You are more than welcome to visit our warehouse to select your slab.
Quartz
Quartz is by far the most popular engineered stone. It is a man-made product created mostly from natural materials such as 93% ground quartz and 7% resins and pigments, combined into durable and non-porous slabs.
By varying their recipe and colour pigments, manufacturers offer a large variety of colours and beautiful, modern patterns.
Quartzite
Quartzite is another popular and durable natural stone that is similar to granite in its uniqueness and beauty. It is a metamorphic rock composed almost entirely of quartz and it’s formed when quartz-rich sandstone is altered by heat and high pressure.
Granite’s natural beauty and elegance has no parallel, each new shipment of slabs brings a wide range of unique colours and patterns. Being that every slab is one of a kind, keep in mind that all samples may vary from each other
Being a man-made product, quartz is not recommended for fireplaces or outside applications due to high heat and sun exposure.
Quartzite is a natural product with exciting patterns and colours similar to granite, the care and maintenance is very similar.
