Five Most Popular Stones in Denver From Francini

Five Most Popular Stones in Denver From FranciniWhether you're creating a new-built home or remodeling your kitchen, stone slabs provide a tremendous variety of benefits (especially for specialty projects). As a leader in high-quality stone slabs, we at Francini can tell you about what the most popular stone options in Denver are.

What Are the Most Popular Stone Slabs Sold in Denver?

We'll start with one of our favorites: quartzite. This igneous stone is a mixture of sandstone and quartz, and it has many of the highly-prized qualities of both. Quartzite is sparkly and elegant, and it comes in a huge variety of colors. If you want to give your project a regal, sophisticated vibe, it may be the right choice for you!

For a timeless option, consider granite. It's a popular choice in the Denver area, and for good reason. Granite slabs can bring depth and warmth to any room, and taking care of them is easy (generally, all you need is a damp cloth). Adding granite to your home can be an excellent way to boost its value, and the durability of this igneous rock makes it a long-term investment.

The last of the popular natural stone slabs in Denver is marble. This metamorphic rock is made of carbonate crystals and recrystallized limestone, which makes them cool to the touch (and popular among pastry chefs). It provides an elegant addition to any home, especially when you have it sealed after installation.

The next stone slabs on our list are both engineered stones. FORTE porcelain combines the design aesthetic of natural stone with the lightweight versatility of porcelain, making it a great option for backsplashes, countertops, and flooring alike. It is a natural fit for oddly-shaped spaces, as well, so if you're renovating a highly unique home, keep it on your list!

Finally, we're proud to offer LUCASTONE™ quartz in our showrooms. This engineered stone slab provides customization and uniformity that you just can't get with natural quartz. It's particularly popular for countertops thanks to its durability.
