Products

Scan-top is a certified fabricator and installer of high-end kitchen countertops, tub and shower surrounds, tub decks, and vanity tops. We offer a variety of top selling brand names in four different categories: quartz (engineered stone), acrylic base, compressed-recycled paper, and granite.

Zodiaq Quartz Surfaces
For quartz base products which are the “top-of-the-line” engineered stone, we offer top selling brand names such as: Dupont Zodiaq and Ceasar Stone. These types of products are renown for their stain resistance, scratch resistance, heat resistance, radiance, and durability. Although these products are more expensive, they will last a lifetime and usually come with a 10 year limited warranty. Website: www.zodiaq.com

Corian Solid Surfaces
For mineral-base products that are combined with an acrylic polymer we offer top selling brands such as: Dupont Corian, Formica, Starron, and Avonite. With these types of materials there are many advantages: They are non-porous so they do not stain, you have the option of integral splashes to make cleaning a breeze; and if you opt for an integral sink, you will have no lip to clean around. This category has the most colors to choose from and usually comes with a 10 year limited warranty. Take a look at the comparison between Corian and other materials in the table on the bottom of this page. Website: www.corian.com

Richlite
In addition to the solid surface and engineered stone products on the market, we also offer a new product called Richlite. Richlite is made of highly compressed paper products for those of you who are environment-friendly. It, too, is non-porous, scratch resistant, and durable. This product is compressed at very high pressures and is very dense! Website: www.richlite.com

HanStone
HanStone™ is a stone surface made from pure, natural quartz. HanStone™ offers the natural beauty of quartz with up to six times the strength and durability of granite. Approximately 93 percent of HanStone™ is mined quartz crystals, one of nature's hardest materials. The quartz is combined with high-quality polyester resins and pigment to produce a natural stone without the high-maintenance. www.hanstoneusa.com
Vetrazzo
All of the glass used in Vetrazzo is recycled, and it makes up about 85% of the final material by weight. The largest proportion of glass comes from curbside recycling programs. Other glass comes from post industrial usage, windows, dinnerware, stemware, automotive windshields, stained glass, laboratory glass, reclaimed glass from building demolition, and other unusual sources such as decommissioned traffic lights. www.vetrazzo.com
Ice Stone
IceStone is the ideal green countertop material for the 21st century IceStone is made from 100% recycled glass that is mixed with cement to create a highly durable, aesthetically beautiful and green concrete surface.

It is made from cellulose fiber (paper) and a non-petroleum phenolic resin derived in part from a natural phenolic oil in the shells of cashews. www.paperstoneproducts.com
Granite
Marble
For those who people out there who love the natural look of stone, we offer many different grades of granite countertops. Although granite can stain and must be maintained periodically (by putting sealer over the surface twice a year), granite remains to be a top seller.
