Craft-Art
The Antique Heart Pine countertop by Craft-Art is derived from reclaimed wood. The custom wood countertop has a yellow-brown straw color with reddish-brown accent rings. A quarter-sawn technique creates a vertical tight-grain wood texture. Tops are available in plank and an edge-grain style using full-length boards or an end-grain style for a checkerboard-type pattern. The company will also use other non-endangered domestic and exotic species upon request. For FREE information, visit http://pb.ims.ca/5335-135 [5]
Samsung
Rivaling the look of quartz and natural stone, the Tempest line from Samsung's Staron brand features what the company's national sales manager calls "a new visual dimension ... that is like nothing else we've offered." Unlike quartz, however, the Tempest is nonporous. The product can be fabricated into backsplashes and patterns can also be incorporated into the surface for added aesthetic appeal.
