Ask us anything. From durability and heat resistance to maintenance requirements, our goal is to ensure you feel 100% confident in your choice.
Once you've found the perfect slab, we handle the logistics to make the hand off to your project team seamless:
At EleMar, Courtesy is our first rule. We don't just move stone; we support your vision. We understand the importance of your investment and are dedicated to providing a transparent, helpful environment from the moment you walk through our doors.
Forged deep within the earth from cooling magma, Granite is a 100% natural igneous rock renowned for its visible crystalline structure and remarkable hardness. Because it cools slowly over millennia, each slab develops a unique thumbprint of minerals like quartz and feldspar, ensuring that no two countertops are ever identical.
Granite's density is legendary, it is so tough that industrial gang saws must run for six straight days just to slice a single block into slabs. For the homeowner, this translates to a surface that isn't just beautiful, but nearly indestructible. It is a lifetime investment that stands up to the rigors of a busy kitchen while maintaining its polished or honed elegance.
Why Choose Granite?
Quartzite is a 100% natural metamorphic rock, born from quartz-rich sandstone that has been transformed by intense heat and pressure deep within the earth. This process recrystallizes the sand grains, fusing them into an incredibly dense and elegant slab. The result is a stone that offers the sophisticated, swirling aesthetics of marble but possesses a legendary hardness that surpasses even the toughest natural stones.
Why Choose Quartzite?
Marble is a metamorphosed limestone, transformed by intense heat and pressure into a stone of pure calcium carbonate. Renowned for its buttery smooth consistency and classic veining, it has been the world's premier material for sculpture and architecture for centuries. While softer than granite, its luminous quality and cool temperature make it a favorite for high end kitchens and luxurious bathrooms.
Why Choose Marble?
Known geologically as Steatite, Soapstone is a dense, talc-based metamorphic rock with a storied history in American homes. Characterized by its unique, silky texture and soft grey or deep green hues, it often features delicate veining. Because it is chemically inert and highly dense, it has been used for centuries in everything from colonial fireplaces to chemistry labs, offering a rustic yet sophisticated charm that only improves with age.
Why Choose Soapstone?
Engineered stone has evolved to meet the demands of the modern home. Our new generation of surfaces features Low-Silica compositions, utilizing a sophisticated blend of recycled minerals and bio-resins. These slabs are manufactured to provide the ultimate in consistency, beauty, and performance. Designed to replicate the look of natural materials while prioritizing modern safety standards, these innovative surfaces offer a responsible and stylish choice for any contemporary space.
Why Choose Engineered Stone?
Semi-precious stone slabs are handcrafted masterpieces created by hand laying individual pieces of rare minerals including Agate, Amethyst, and Petrified Wood into a durable resin binder. These "gemstone" surfaces are the pinnacle of luxury, offering a depth and brilliance that no other material can match. Often translucent, these slabs are designed to be a focal point, turning countertops and wall features into functional works of art.
Why Choose Semi-Precious?
Large format porcelain is a high performance surface crafted from natural clays and minerals fired at extreme temperatures. Utilizing advanced, high resolution printing technology, these slabs achieve remarkably convincing textures and vein patterns. Because it is incredibly dense and lightweight, porcelain is the premier choice for homeowners seeking a seamless, high tech aesthetic that performs perfectly both indoors and out.
Why Choose Porcelain?
The finish you choose defines how your stone reflects light and feels to the touch. While new textures emerge regularly, these three classics remain the industry standard:
Polished
A mirror like shine that intensifies the stone's natural color and intricate patterns. Perfect for a high end, formal aesthetic.
Honed
A smooth, non-reflective, satin finish that offers a softer, more organic look. While this "flat" appearance beautifully minimizes glare, the matte surface is more tactile and may require more frequent wiping.
Leathered
A textured finish that follows the stone’s organic contours. Because the process reacts differently to the unique hardness of each mineral, every slab becomes a touch-worthy, one-of-a-kind masterpiece with a sophisticated matte appearance.
