Stone-concreteIndustry OnlyNatural StoneQuarrierUSA

Natural stone quarrier and manufacturer. The natural stone company quarries and manufactures granite, marble, limestone, and slate from its own quarries in North America and Europe. Its vertically integrated operations control stone quality from quarry block through finished surface for consistent supply. Polycor's architectural products include exterior cladding, flooring, countertops, and custom stonework for institutional and commercial projects. The company's quarry ownership provides access to unique stone varieties unavailable from other suppliers.

Caesarstone

Engineered quartz surfaces. The engineered quartz surfaces combine natural quartz minerals with polymer resins to create countertops with consistent color and pattern throughout. The material is non-porous, resisting stains, scratches, and bacteria without the sealing required by natural stone surfaces. Caesarstone's collections include designs that mimic natural marble, concrete, and stone alongside contemporary solid colors and industrial textures. The company pioneered the quartz surface category and remains one of the largest manufacturers globally.

Silestone

Quartz surfaces with antibacterial protection. Cosentino's quartz surface features N-Boost technology providing superior stain resistance, color intensity, and reduced water absorption compared to standard quartz. The material is available in polished, suede, and volcano textures with options that closely replicate natural marble and stone appearances. Silestone's HybriQ+ technology incorporates recycled materials and uses 99% recycled water and 100% renewable energy in manufacturing. The surfaces are warrantied for 25 years in residential applications for stain, scratch, and color consistency.

Neolith

Sintered stone surfaces. The sintered stone surfaces are created by compressing natural minerals and clays under extreme heat and pressure without resins or adhesives. The resulting material is virtually impervious to UV, chemicals, stains, and scratching, with full-body color extending through the entire slab thickness. Neolith's large-format slabs up to 3.2 by 1.5 meters enable seamless wall cladding, countertops, and exterior facade applications. The production process uses natural raw materials and the finished product is fully recyclable at end of life.

Dekton

Ultra-compact surfaces for architecture. Cosentino's ultra-compact surface material withstands extreme temperatures, UV exposure, and abrasion for both interior and exterior architectural use. The sintering process combines raw materials from glass, porcelain, and quartz under 25,000 tons of pressure and temperatures exceeding 1,200 degrees. Dekton slabs are available in thicknesses from 4mm to 30mm for applications from ventilated facades to heavy-use kitchen countertops. The material requires no sealing and maintains color stability even under permanent outdoor sun exposure.

Ductal

Ultra-high performance concrete. Lafarge's ultra-high performance concrete achieves compressive strengths of 120-200 MPa through optimized particle packing and steel fiber reinforcement. The material enables dramatically thinner structural elements than conventional concrete, creating lightweight, elegant architectural forms. Ductal's ductile behavior under stress prevents brittle failure, making it suitable for structural applications where safety margins are critical. Applications include pedestrian bridges, facade panels, and architectural features requiring concrete's aesthetic with steel's performance.

Cambria

American-made quartz surfaces. The only American-made quartz surface manufacturer produces natural quartz countertops at its Minnesota facility using domestically sourced materials. Its products feature unique designs including marble-inspired patterns and movement effects achieved through proprietary manufacturing technology. Cambria's quartz surfaces are non-porous, maintenance-free, and backed by a transferable lifetime warranty for residential installations. The family-owned company controls its supply chain from mining through fabrication.
