The Work

The Stone

Marble Looks, Granite Strength

The natural stone that reads like marble and wears like granite. Dramatic veining that stands up to a working kitchen.Best for: kitchens, islands, bar tops, outdoor

Quartz

Low Upkeep, High Style

Engineered quartz: nonporous, consistent, and sealing-free. Clean color and subtle pattern for busy modern kitchens.Best for: kitchens, baths, laundry (indoor only)

Porcelain

Thin, Tough, Versatile

Large-format porcelain: slim, heat- and UV-resistant, and equally at home on counters or full walls.Best for: counters, full walls, outdoor

Neolith

Sintered Stone

Ultracompact sintered stone in oversized slabs, stain-, heat-, and scratch-resistant, indoors and out.Best for: outdoor kitchens, counters, full walls

Dekton

Engineered to Last

Ultracompact and nearly indestructible, Dekton shrugs off heat, UV, and abrasion, made for the outdoor kitchen.Best for: outdoor kitchens, pool surrounds

The Stone · Edge Profiles

The edge is the detail

The edge profile sets the whole feel of a counter. Standard profiles, eased, beveled, and quarter-round, keep it clean and modern. Upgraded profiles, bullnose, ogee, dupont, and cove, add traditional weight. A mitered edge builds a thick, seamless look at any thickness. We fabricate every profile in both 2cm and 3cm stone.

What it is

A manufactured surface, not a quarried one

Quartz is a manufactured surface, ground natural quartz bound with resin and pigment. Unlike natural stone it is nonporous and completely consistent slab to slab, so what you see in the sample is what you get.

Quartz vs granite

Uniform and carefree, or natural and heat-proof

Granite is natural, takes direct heat, and no two slabs match. Quartz is uniform, nonporous, and never needs sealing, but it will not take a hot pan and it can fade in direct sun. For a low-maintenance indoor kitchen, quartz is hard to beat.

Varieties and brands

Lines we fabricate

[VARIETIES_PENDING: confirm the quartz lines and brands Renaissance fabricates, for example Cambria, Caesarstone, Silestone. Name real ones only.]

Care

No sealing, ever

Quartz needs no sealing, ever. It wipes clean with soap and water and resists stains and scratches. The one rule: use a trivet, since direct heat can damage the resin.

Cost and use

What to expect

Installed quartz typically runs [COST_PENDING: sq-ft range, order of magnitude only]. Keep it indoors, in kitchens, baths, and laundry rooms, since UV can fade the resin outdoors.

Common questions

Does quartz need to be sealed?No. Quartz is nonporous, so it never needs sealing. Soap and water is all it asks for.

Can quartz be used outdoors?No. UV exposure fades the resin that binds quartz, so it should stay indoors. For outdoor work, porcelain, Dekton, Neolith, or granite are better choices.

Quartz vs granite for a busy kitchen?Quartz is lower maintenance and completely uniform, but it cannot take a hot pan. Granite takes direct heat and hides wear in its natural pattern.

Is quartz the same as quartzite?No. Quartz is a manufactured surface. Quartzite is natural quarried stone. They look and perform differently.

Does quartz stain?It is highly stain resistant because it is nonporous, and it never needs sealing. Wipe spills and it cleans up.
