The Ultimate Countertop Guide

Nothing completes a kitchen like the perfect countertop – in gorgeous granite, stylish quartz, luxury laminate or rustic butcher block. At Wren, you’ll find ones to match your style and your budget.

Your countertop is one of the most visible elements of your kitchen and the material and color you choose can transform the appearance of the room. In constant use, countertops also need to be tough, easy to clean and retain their good looks. We can help you pick the perfect countertop for your kitchen as part of our design process.

Quartz

Cool classy quartz creates a sophisticated finish and works well with any kitchen design. Made by combining natural stone with a resin, quartz countertops look and feel like granite with more consistent colors and patterns.

At Wren, there’s a choice of 30 dramatic colors and effects – from modern sparkling whites such as Fairy White to deep moody blacks like Midnight Majesty. For a more traditional look, choose classic marbled or veined quartz such as Fantasy Gray or Calacatta Classique.
