​Choosing the Right Countertop

There are many different choices when it comes to choosing the right countertop; however, the first thing you should consider is your budget. The amount you want to spend on countertops will greatly impact the type of material you choose. Upgrading your countertops can make the biggest difference in your space. There are so many different textures, colors and patterns to choose from for your home. If you want your countertop to be the star of your design, you should choose a unique pattern.
Picture

​Granite Countertops


Granite comes in unique patterns and colors and will always complete the look of your space. Whether you want two or three colors, or more, granite may be your choice of material. Granite is very versatile and durable. With a smooth surface, it gives you an easy cleanup as well as a beautiful finished look!
Picture

​Cambria Quartz Countertops

Whether you are looking for a solid color, or a multi-color countertop, Cambria Quartz has it all. Cambria countertops add beauty to any room, with hundreds of styles to choose from you are guaranteed to find the right countertop for your home. Cambria Quartz can be used in many different styled spaces; modern, traditional, transitional and more!

What is the difference between Cambria Quarts and Granite?

There are some similarities as well as some differences between the two surfaces. While they are both very durable, Cambria Quartz is slightly stronger than granite as it is 93% quartz and granite is 40-60% quartz. Both materials are comparable in pricing and provide excellent heat and scratch resistance.
Picture
Wood Countertops

A touch of wood will always warm up a space. What better way to incorporate wood in your design than with wood countertops? You can mix it up using wood for the kitchen island and another material for the perimeter countertops!

View all of our choices on our countertops page. You can also give us a call (641) 472-8385 or visit our showroom for any questions!

The program includes eight monthly sessions each centered around a unique theme.  Every session is different but includes expert presenters, panels of community leaders and behind-the-scene tours of Fairfield businesses. By the end of the program, each participant will not only have a well-rounded view of the various business sectors in Fairfield but also have personally connected and networked with Fairfield's top business and community leaders.

For the month of October (session held on Tuesday, October 2nd), the Leadership Fairfield class focused on the manufacturing leaders in our community. They toured Agri-Industrial Plastics, Dexter Laundry, The Sky Factory and Paint-Line. All four of these manufacturing businesses are located in Fairfield, Iowa.
