Your Introduction to Stone
GRANITE
Granite is the result of magma cooling and crystallizing below the surface of the earth.
Granite slabs are made up of feldspar, quartz, mica, and other minerals, resulting in each slab having unique and beautiful colours, patterns, and veining, even when cut from the same block. Granite not only enhances the aesthetic appeal of any project but can also increase property value.
Due to the uniqueness of each slab, HGB Stone encourages customers to view their selected granite at one of our stone suppliers before making a purchase. This ensures that your preferred slab is reserved and allows us to discuss the placement of the template on your stone. This process helps you visualize the final look of your project before fabrication and installation.
QUARTZ
Quartz is an engineered stone made from crushed quartz bound with resin and coloured pigments. Known for its consistent patterns and wide range of stunning colours, quartz is a popular choice due to its low maintenance, durability, and affordable. It resists staining and does not harbour bacteria. HGB Stone offers an extensive quartz display, and our experienced staff will help you quickly narrow your choices based on your budget and décor. Additionally, we can arrange for you to view your selected quartz slab at your preferred supplier.
MARBLE
Marble is a metamorphic rock renowned for its crisp appearance and elegant patterns, with each variety offering unique characteristics based on its quarry of origin. The bright palette and striking veining of Calacatta marble make it a popular choice for kitchens.
FINISH
Most stone suppliers and fabricators nowadays offer a variety of finishes, including leather, honed, and polished. We have focused on these popular choices and provided descriptions to help you explore how different textures can enhance your project.

A. Polished
A polished finish is the most popular choice for natural stone and quartz countertops. This finish highlights the stone’s colorful nuances, veins, fissures, and crystals, creating a refined, artful appearance in your home or business.
B. Leathered
By brushing the stone to reveal a grainy surface, this finish, also known as “river wash” or “antiqued,” is ideal for darker stones and is often enhanced with colour. It provides a mellow, natural appearance that is suitable for rustic designs. This finish is also available in quartz.
C. Honed
Honed stone has a smooth, matte finish achieved by mechanically chaffing the surface until it becomes silky soft. This process removes imperfections, revealing the stone’s natural brightness.

STONE PROTECTION
After installing your stone countertops, HGBStone recommends proper maintenance to preserve their beauty and durability. For natural stones like granite, marble, and quartzite, we suggest sealing annually to maintain lustre and resilience. Quartz, being engineered stone, does not require sealing. Use a soft cloth with mild detergent and water for regular cleaning to prevent staining.
