Classic Collection – Say you’re looking beyond the defined veining in a stone, you’ll discover more in the softness and shades of the Classic collection. The patterns have a more swirled appearance as opposed to stark veining.
Inspire Collection – With this collection, the quartz has a softer look with more defined patterning. It provides a dotted or speckled appearance that is available from sterile white to pure black. There are other selections in tans and browns to grays.
Bookmatched Collection – Another collection that features broad veining in a focused design, which brings a centerpiece look to the design.
