What natural stones do you offer and what are their qualities?
- Granite is a beautiful and versatile stone, great for indoor and outdoor use in countertops, flooring, and more. Irregularities in color and pattern are a natural part of granite and add to its unique appearance. There are many types of granite available at every price point. The quality, longevity, rich colors, and patterns that granite offers makes it a popular choice for kitchen countertops. It is incredibly durable and resistant to heat, scratches, and stains that may occur from everyday use. To keep it looking great, granite does need to be resealed, so MMG carries sealer with a lifetime guarantee.
- Marble: Marble is both an elegant and durable stone, which is why it has been used for thousands of years. It is typically selected because of its high-end appearance, and because it can be used for interior flooring, countertops, and even wall applications and architectural features. The cool, smooth texture of marble makes it perfect for cooking and baking. It is important to consider that marble is sensitive to acids and other chemicals and may show natural irregularities. Because marble is a premium stone, it is better suited for more flexible budgets. Marble is softer than granite and more likely to scratch and stain, so it may not be the optimal choice for every family. Our Dry Treat superior cleaners and sealers offer protection from staining and make it easier to clean.
- Quartzite: Quartzite is the best of both worlds; it has the strength and resistance of granite and the elegance of marble. It is a great choice for countertops, flooring, wall applications, and more. Like granite, quartzite has natural irregularities that add to its character. Because of its upscale qualities, it may not be appropriate for all budgets.
What types of engineered stone do you offer and what are their qualities?
- Engineered Quartz: This man-made stone offers a wide variety of colors and designs that are consistent in durability and easy to clean, which makes it an easy choice for countertops, wall panels, and more. It is a manufactured product composed mostly of natural quartz, with a small amount of other materials to enhance structure and appearance. Engineered quartz is long-lasting and resistant to scratches and stains. A wide range of designs are available that can accommodate any style of kitchen or bath.
- Sintered Compact Surfaces: Sintered compact surfaces are an engineered product made from naturally occurring materials such as clay and minerals. The color and design are controlled much like quartz. Slabs are typically thinner and lighter in weight than other stone slabs and are versatile in application. These manufactured surfaces are extremely resistant to scratches, stains, and heat. Sintered surfaces are also resistant to UV light and have low moisture absorption, which make it a great choice for outdoor use.
What lead time can I expect?
You don’t want to wait longer than you need to for your new kitchen countertop. Our process is streamlined to get you your countertops quickly without unnecessary delays. We have six distributors locally and several more in Chicago, which significantly expedites the process. For a single residential kitchen you can expect a 1-2 week lead time. If you are a contractor working on a multi-family project requiring imported and cut-to-size stone, lead time may be longer. We are proud of the fact that we have some of the shortest lead times in the industry. Even during the peak of the pandemic supply chain issues, we maintained just a six-week maximum lead time, while other companies were anywhere from 18-36 weeks.
