Materials for Exterior Applications
Granite
The top choice for outdoor kitchens. Granite withstands UV exposure, temperature swings, and moisture without fading or cracking. Its natural hardness resists scratches from grill tools and outdoor cooking.

Not to be confused with engineered quartz, natural quartzite offers extreme heat resistance and UV stability — ideal for sunny outdoor spaces where man-made surfaces may discolor.
Ask About Quartzite →A Note on Quartz Outdoors
Engineered quartz is generally not recommended for direct outdoor use. Extended UV exposure can cause discoloration over time. For covered outdoor areas with limited sun exposure, quartz may work — we'll help you evaluate your specific situation during your consultation.
Custom Stone for Indoor & Outdoor Fireplaces
A stone fireplace surround becomes the focal point of any room or patio. Schmidt Countertops fabricates full fireplace facades, mantel shelves, and hearth stones from granite, marble, and quartzite — each cut and finished to fit your exact design.
- Full-height fireplace surrounds
