Solid Surface countertops are also referred to as Corian. They are man-made acrylic countertops that are low-maintenance and available in a wide variety of colors and patterns. Because they are man-made, solid surface countertops can be molded into any shape and can include an integrated sink for a seamless finish.
Here are a few samples of Corian colors. To view the full range of Corian colors, please click here.
Quartz is the common choice for engineered stone countertops. They offer a non-porous and scratch-resistant surface perfect for kitchens. Since they are non-porous, Quartz countertops require no sealing or polishing. Silestone and Caesarstone are the best-known brands of engineered quartz.

Natural stone countertops include granite, marble, and soapstone. Due to the porous nature of these materials, it is suggested to use a sealant to keep stains at bay. Natural stone countertops offer unique patterns and colors—no two slabs are exactly alike.
Below are common examples of countertop edge profiles for natural stone (like granite and marble) and engineered stone (like quartz). The edge profile can significantly change the look and feel of your kitchen.
Solid surface countertops offer unique design flexibility, allowing for creative and custom edge profiles. Here are some common examples of solid surface countertop edge profiles.
Undermount sinks are mounted below the countertop, creating a seamless and easy-to-clean transition. They are well suited for countertop materials such as granite, marble, soapstone, and concrete.
If your undermount sink is pulling away from the underside of your countertop, please visit our Sink Repair section to schedule your appointment today.
A farmhouse, or apron, sink can be mounted three different ways: under-mount, flush-mount, and top-mount. They are a great choice for contemporary kitchens and come in a wide variety of colors and materials, including copper, ceramic, and stainless steel.

Drop-in sinks are considered the most common type of sink. To install, they “drop” into a hole cut out of the countertop. They are also known as “self-rimming” or “surface mounted.” Drop-in sinks are available in many different materials, like stainless steel, ceramic, and glass.
