Granite
Quarried granite is the workhorse of natural stone: exceptional heat and scratch resistance, endless color and movement, and no two slabs alike. Sealed every one to three years, it will outlive the kitchen around it.
Our Materials
Natural granite, marble and quartzite alongside engineered quartz from the brands you know — plus eco-friendly recycled surfaces. Come see the full slab before you commit to a corner of it.

Natural stone
Quarried granite is the workhorse of natural stone: exceptional heat and scratch resistance, endless color and movement, and no two slabs alike. Sealed every one to three years, it will outlive the kitchen around it.

Engineered stone
Ground natural quartz bound with resin — non-porous, never needs sealing, and consistent from sample to slab. The right pick for busy households and precise, contemporary design.

Natural stone
The brightest whites and most sculptural veining in stone. Softer and more porous than granite, so we recommend it for vanities, baths, fireplace surrounds and baking stations.

Natural stone
A marble look with harder-than-granite durability. Frequently confused with engineered quartz — quartzite is quarried stone, and we'll show you the difference slab-side.

| Kowalski note | Every slab is one of a kind — movement, depth and mineral flecking you cannot manufacture. | Predictable color and veining from brands like Cambria, Silestone and Caesarstone. | The brightest whites and most sculptural veining in stone — patina is part of its character. | Not to be confused with quartz — quartzite is quarried, not engineered. |
