Recently our design team at Concept 32 visited Stratus Surfaces, touring their impressive 50,000-square-foot stone gallery and showroom in Denver. Seeing their collection up close reminded us why they’re one of our go-to partners for countertops, backsplashes, fireplaces, and more.

When we help homeowners and our builder and design partners with their kitchen remodels, bathroom makeovers, and other living spaces, custom cabinetry is just the beginning. Countertops and surfaces bring everything together adding the texture, tone, and personality that make a space feel complete. That’s where Stratus Surfaces excels.

A Partner Who Shares Our Standards

Stratus offers one of the most extensive and curated stone collections in Colorado, with:

• Over 100 marble varieties
  


• Nearly 100 quartzite slabs
  


• 30 granite surfaces
  


• And 89 quartz colors including their own exclusive quartz line.
  

Their team is known for exceptional customer service, a deep understanding of materials, and genuine enthusiasm for helping every customer, whether you’re a designer, builder, or homeowner just starting your project.

Appointments aren’t required, and their experts take the time to ask the right questions: What’s your lifestyle? How do you use your kitchen? What kind of maintenance are you comfortable with? Those conversations help homeowners make confident decisions about materials and finishes that fit their daily lives.

More Than Just Countertops

While countertops are the most common application, Stratus Surfaces goes far beyond the kitchen. Their natural stone and quartz can be used for:

• Fireplaces and statement walls
  


• Bathroom vanities and shower surrounds
  


• Backsplashes and feature accents
  


• Custom furniture pieces (think coffee tables or entryway details)
  

And because they work closely with both fabricators and designers, they can help guide homeowners who don’t yet have one or collaborate seamlessly with professionals who already do.

Craftsmanship That Starts at the Source

One of the details we loved learning about during our visit: the Stratus natural stone team has boots on the ground around the world, hand-selecting stone directly from the source. That dedication to quality shows in the variety and uniqueness of what they offer, not just the usual Taj Mahal quartzite, but rare and distinctive pieces that make each project one-of-a-kind.

They also provide a range of finishes, from polished to honed, leathered, or textured, and even offer refinishing services to adjust the look or sheen of your existing stone. Current trends lean toward matte and honed finishes, and Stratus’s quartz line beautifully captures the soft, natural look many homeowners are seeking right now.

Why Start with Concept 32

At Concept 32, we always recommend starting with your cabinet design first since the cabinetry’s color, finish, and layout will influence every other material choice. Once that’s established, our designers help you coordinate stone selections, taking samples and swatches to Stratus so you can see how everything works together.

We even have a tree display of Stratus quartz samples right in our Longmont showroom, a great first step before visiting their full gallery.

Quick Tips for Visiting Stratus Surfaces

If you’re ready to explore stone options, here are a few ways to make the most of your visit:

• Bring cabinet, flooring, and wall color samples if you have them.
  


• Snap photos of your current space or design plans.
  


• Note where you’d like stone surfaces: kitchen, bath, fireplace, etc.
  


• Ask about finish options (polished, honed, leathered) to see what feels right.
  


• Don’t worry if you don’t have all the details; their team will guide you through it.
