TTS Granite shares information about Natural and engineered stones
|
At TTS
Granite, we provide a vast array of natural and engineered stones. We
thought we would take a quick minute to share with you some of the
differences and recommended uses:
Granite is the most popular natural stone used for
kitchens, bathrooms, bars, fireplaces because of the variety of colors and
eye-catching designs. Granite is very durable against stains, heat, and
scratching.
 Marble is a natural stone that has a classic and
timeless beauty. Most associate marble with the traditional white marble but
marble also comes in numerous colors. A core feature of marble is the
veining. Marble is sensitive due to a high level of calcium.
Etching can happen easily when acidic liquid or foods come in contact.
Soapstone is a natural stone that contains a high
amount of talc and can feel silky to the touch. Due to the components,
soapstone has the ability to absorb and distribute the heat which makes it a
good choice for fireplace surrounds. While soapstone can scratch, customers
are increasingly using it in the kitchen. With professional assistance,
most scratches can be removed bringing soapstone back to the original beauty.
Limestone is a porous stone that can be found in
neutral colors that can give your home a more rustic feel. Like the
performance of marble, limestone does etch and it reacts to acidic liquid and
foods.
Travertine has a sophisticated
smooth look with small holes in the material caused by carbon dioxide
evasion. Travertine is very porous, does etch, stain and reacts to
acidic liquids or foods. The most common application for travertine is
for backsplashes, fireplace panels and showers.
Onyx is unique in that it allows light through
the stone. As a result, onyx can be used for dramatic and creative custom
designs to be back-lit for a very interesting appeal. Onyx does etch
when acidic liquids or foods come in contact.
Quartzite is a natural stone that appears similar to
marble. Quartzite is rare and extremely hard natural stone.
In
the marketplace when you hear "quartz" it is most commonly
referencing man-made engineered quartz. Engineered Quartz
is comprised of approximately 93% of natural quartz, resins and pigments.
Engineered quartz is for customers that prefer a more consistent pattern or
pattern in stone design. Engineered quartz will not stain but will
scratch and react to heat TTS Granite works with only the best in
the market: Ceasarstone, Hanstone, Silestone and LG Viatera to name a few.
