When designing a new aspect of your home, prioritizing the needs of your family is top of mind with resiliency, durability and functionality commonly set as primary goals. Custom stone meets all of these requirements and can easily be incorporated throughout any interior design. Let’s have a look at the most highly sought after, family-friendly custom stone surfaces to learn more:
Granite
Naturally durable, heat and stain-resistant (When properly sealed), granite is truly an optimal choice for families. At Dauter Stone, we offer a multitude of colour and pattern options that can easily hide anything from left over crumbs from snacking sessions to accidental juice box spills. Adding a honed finish to your custom granite surface can also obscure imperfections including small dents or scratches that can occur over time.
Quartz
We love to recommend Quartz as it is incredibly strong and easy to clean making it a great choice for busy family life. Quartz is also completely non-porous ensuring staining won’t occur no matter the spill. Many quartz options we carry mimic the appearance of natural stone and can easily fit into any style or design preference.
Quartzite
With a 7 on the Mohs hardness scale, quartzite makes an ideal choice for families as it is impervious to scratching or etching and less likely to be damaged by everyday use. With a wide range of colour options, quartzite can easily enhance the beauty of your home.
After selecting your custom stone slab, we can easily add bullnose edges during the fabrication process to your countertop and/or vanity for enhanced safety. Bullnose edges are curved both along the top and bottom of the slab edge, removing any sharp edges.
