Countertops that combine durability and elegance
At Universal Factory Direct, we know the kitchen is the heart of your home. It’s where family gathers, meals are created, and memories are made. That’s why choosing the right countertop isn’t just about style. It’s about durability, functionality, and value. Since 1998, we’ve been helping homeowners find countertops that elevate their kitchens and bathrooms without breaking the budget.
We specialize in two premium options: quartz countertops and porcelain countertops. Each comes with unique strengths, and with our trusted brands, Quartz Plus and Porcelain Plus, you’re guaranteed lasting beauty and unbeatable quality.
Quartz countertops
Quartz has become one of America's most popular countertop choices, and for good reason. This engineered stone blends crushed quartz crystals with resins and pigments, creating a surface that’s both tough and beautiful.
Quartz countertops are non-porous, so you won’t have to worry about stains from coffee, wine, or oil. They’re incredibly scratch-resistant, making them perfect for busy kitchens. Unlike natural stone, quartz doesn’t require sealing. You simply clean it with mild soap and water, and it looks brand-new for years.
The design options are nearly endless. From soft, marble-like veining to bold, contemporary patterns, quartz can fit any kitchen style. If you’re looking for consistency in color and pattern, quartz delivers that in a way granite and marble cannot.
At Universal Factory Direct, we help homeowners choose quartz countertops that balance performance with design. Whether you want sleek modern lines or a warm, classic look, our design team will walk you through the best quartz options to match your cabinetry, flooring, and overall style.

Porcelain countertops
Porcelain countertops are a rising star in the remodeling world. Known for their sleek appearance and impressive durability, porcelain is crafted by firing clay at extremely high temperatures, then finishing the surface with patterns that can mimic marble, wood, or even concrete.
One of porcelain’s standout benefits is heat resistance. You can set hot pots and pans directly on the surface without fear of damage. Porcelain is also UV-resistant, which makes it ideal for outdoor kitchens or bright indoor spaces where sunlight streams in. Like quartz, porcelain countertops are non-porous and easy to clean.
Another advantage of porcelain is its slim profile. It can be fabricated in thinner slabs than natural stone, giving your kitchen a modern, minimalist vibe. Porcelain countertops are a stylish and practical solution for homeowners who love cutting-edge design.
Our Porcelain Plus selections offer both classic and bold looks, all designed to handle the demands of everyday life while giving your kitchen or bath a high-end feel.
