Granite Countertops and Marble Sink Tops for Bathrooms, Kitchens and More – Minneapolis MN

Every stone has its differences in color, pattern, and durability. At C&D Granite, we provide natural stone materials that will look beautiful for decades. Choosing a stone countertop brings beauty to your office, kitchen, bathroom, and other areas of your home or business.

Types of Stone Countertops

The stone we use for making our quality countertops can be derived from siliceous stone and calcareous stone.

Siliceous Stone

This type of stone is made mainly from silica. It is heavy-duty and easy to clean as it stands strong against heavy cleaning products. The types of siliceous stone we use include:

• Granite
• Quartz
• Soapstone

All of these stones are durable and very resistant to scratches or chips. Granite, quartz, and soapstone countertops are very heat resistant too. To learn more about these stone countertop surfaces, read the differences in stone here.

Calcareous Stone

This type of stone is made mainly from calcium carbonate. It is more sensitive to acids and other heavy-duty cleaning products. Therefore it requires lighter cleaning products than siliceous stone would require. The type of stone we use on it includes:

• Marble
• Travertine
• Limestone
• Onyx

Marble is a metamorphic rock made from limestone. We use intense pressure and heat to create a beautiful finish. Although marble is less hard than granite and quartz, it is still heat resistant. Read more on the differences in our stone surfaces here.

Granite, marble, quartz, and soapstone are all excellent options for kitchen countertops, bathroom vanity tops, and other home areas. Stone countertops can also make your business look more professional and make the interior of your building appear sleek, timeless, and clean.
