Marble
Marble has both a geological and commercial definition. Geologically, marble is a "metamorphic rock consisting of fine to coarse-grained recrystallized calcite and/or dolomite."

Commercially, the term marble is used to describe any crystallized carbonate rock including true marble and certain limestones (orthomarble) that is capable of taking a polish.

Travertine and serpentine, while not true marbles, are usually included in the commercial definition of marble.

To get the luxurious look, use it on an island or inset at a baking center. Marble requires constant maintenance, as it easily stains. Some new sealers retard staining.

Pros: waterproof; heatproof; beautiful.

Granite
The term granite comes from the Latin root word granum, meaning "grain". The geological definition of granite is "any plutonic rock in which the mineral quartz makes up 10 to 50 per cent of the felsic components, and the ratio of alkali to total feldspar is between 65 and 95 per cent." Commercially, any holocrystalline quartz-bearing plutonic rock is generally included in the granite group.

Granite Countertops
Granite is the countertop material of choice when there are no other things to think about - like money.

It defines elegance in a kitchen. The beauty of the stone contributes to the beauty of even the most modest kitchen. Granite counters hold up to heat, comes in beautiful colors and looks permanent and substantial.

CaesarStone®
Milano Granite is an authorized dealer and authorized installer of all CaesarStone® products. CaesarStone is the original quartz-based engineered stone primarily used for kitchen counterops and bathroom vanities.

CaesarStone is 93% crushed quartz, one of nature's hardest minerals. The quartz is combined with high-quality polymer resins and pigments and then compacted under intense vibration, vacuum, and pressure into dense, non-porous slabs. The slabs are post cured, gauged to precise thickness, and polished to an enduring shine

Although long used for the finest residential countertops, CaesarStone is now offered as an attractive and versatile finish for commercial and institutional buildings. Our quartz surfacing is tough enough for the wear and tear on just about any interior surface, and beautiful enough for every architectural and decorating scheme.

Limestone
Limestone is a sedimentary rock consisting mainly of the mineral calcite (calcium carbonate) with or without dolomite (magnesium carbonate). The color of limestone is altered by the presence of impurities, which broaden the color spectrum of limestone to include white, brown, gray, buff, yellow, red, block, or mixtures of these colors.

Limestone, being of sedimentary origin, is usually quite anisotropic, or "directionally specific" in its behavior. This accounts for a pronounced "rift", or plane of easiest splitting, within most limestone types.
