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.

 | 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

| 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. Please
call (650) 361-8373 for a list of local showrooms near you. | |
