Natural stone comes in several varieties and is mined from the earth. Natural stones can be used for indoor and outdoor projects and add a worldly feel to any space. AGCO commonly uses natural stone for countertops, floors and fireplaces, and as featured design elements in bathrooms.
Engineered Marble & Granite
Engineered Marble and Granite are man-made products composed of approximately 82% natural stone materials suspended in polymer resins which can be poured and molded into virtually any product you can dream up – From Vanity Tops to Tile, and everything in between!
Onyx/Travertine
Onyx is a strikingly dramatic natural material with unique patterns. Onyx is translucent and can be backlit to highlight its natural beauty. This material is commonly used for dramatic accent walls and one of a kind kitchens or bathrooms.
Travertine is a form of limestone that comes both polished and honed with natural pits that add depth and character. Its smooth and durable surface coupled with its outstanding visual appeal make this a great countertop option for your next project.
Concrete
Concrete is a natural composite material made from an aggregate plus a cement binder and water. Concrete is porous, but once sealed properly is very durable and looks better with age as it forms a patina. A newer trend in interior design, concrete countertops can be made to look similar to marble or granite, but are more customizable with colors, shapes, and sizes than natural stone. Concrete can also be cast into sinks or fireplace surrounds for a seamless design in your space.
Granite
Granite is a hard, igneous rock that is extremely durable. It is found in a variety of colors, making it a favorite for many uses and design styles.
Limestone
Limestone, and one of its variations – travertine, is a sedimentary material comprised of calcium deposits and can be used in indoor and outdoor applications. The color palette for these materials is typically white, tan, cream, or rust.
Marble
Marble is a crystallized stone and often has swirling patterns or lines. It usually carries a highly-polished finish. AGCO specializes in Tuscan Marble slab countertops.
Quartzite
Quartzite is naturally strong and resistant to heat and staining. Quartzite is a combination of sandstone and quartz, making the material harder than quartz alone.
Semi-Precious Stones
Semi-Precious Stones such as agate, lapis lazuli, and jasper add a touch of elegance to a space. These materials that look like jewels or gemstones offer bright colors and luster, as well as strength.
Soapstone
Soapstone is a dark grey or green material. Made of talc, it is softer to the touch than other natural stones and provides an old fashioned or rustic appearance.
Recycled Materials
Thanks to eco-friendly attitudes of consumers and developers, a variety of countertop options made from recycled materials are available. They can be made from glass, wood, plastic, metals or paper, and are not only durable but also very stylish.
