Hi Maltman155, thanks so much! This was a fun project; the counter top is a Neolith Slab from our friends at Marble and Granite, Inc out of Westwood, Ma.

Hello Maltman155, as Cutting Edge Homes Inc. says the product is Neolith and the model is Estatuario, one of the most acclaimed designs. This design has a polished finish as you can see in the pictures reflex.

The main advantages that Neolith provides, compared with natural stone, granite or quartz are:

HYGIENIC - It does not give off any harmful substances and is totally suitable for contact with food. NSF Certifate.

RESISTANT TO BENDING - It has a high shear rate, making it resistant to heavy loads and pressure.

RESISTANT TO SCRATCHES - Its hard surface makes it resistant to scratches and abrasion.

EASY TO CLEAN - Resistant to any kind of chemical cleaning agent such as bleach or ammonia.

RESISTANT TO UV RAYS - Being 100% natural, its colors do not fade away when being exposed to sun light or other extreme weather conditions.

RESISTANT TO HIGHT TEMPERATURES - It does not burn in contact with fire nor does it emit smoke or toxic substances when subjected to high temperatures.

100% NATURAL - It does not give off any substances that are harmful to the environment.

RESISTANT TO ICE AND THAW - Neolith does not suffer any changes when exposed to low temperatures.

WATERPROOF - Waterproof and resistant to liquids, with an absorption level of almost zero.

100% RECYCLABLE - Up to 52% of any Neolith slab is composed of recycled raw materials.

For furniture and interior cladding, using 3 mm is recommended; for flooring (interior and exterior) and exterior applications (like ventilated façades), 6 mm is recommended; whereas 12 and 20 mm is reserved for more demanding product uses such as for kitchen worktops.
