Countertops
We help you select a countertop material that highlights the design elements of your kitchen. Eagle Cliff works with a list of established quartz, granite, marble and Dekton suppliers right here in Nova Scotia.
Granite
Granite is incredibly hard, resistant to scratches, and able to withstand high heat. Granite countertops are known for their natural beauty and unique patterns. Each slab of granite is one-of-a-kind, offering a distinctive look for your kitchen.
Quartz

Marble
Marble is a beautiful but porous and relatively soft stone, making it more susceptible to scratches, stains, and etching. While it can be a stunning countertop choice, especially for its timeless look and heat resistance, it requires careful maintenance.
Dekton
Dekton is a relatively new option as a surface for kitchen countertops: it is highly resistant to stains, scratches and heat, and is available in a wide range of colours. The slabs come in 5 thicknesses: 4, 8, 12, 20 and 30 millimetres and also in large formats to reduce joints and enhance continuity of surfaces.
