Backlit countertops that glow — real Cristallo quartzite kitchens in DFW

Only translucent stone lets light through — quartzites like Cristallo, and onyx. Most granite, marble and standard quartz are too dense, so they stay dark. Bring your idea to the showroom and we'll show you which slabs glow before you choose.

Kitchen islands and waterfall ends, full-height backsplashes, bar tops, bathroom vanities and fireplace or feature walls. The island and backsplash in our Frisco kitchen are both lit.

Our own Acue team does the backlighting — no separate lighting company. The cabinet base and any waterfall end get an LED light panel first, then the stone is set on top, as in the video above. The light spreads evenly behind the slab, so you see the stone's veins glow instead of separate light spots.

Yes. Cristallo is a natural quartzite, so with the lights off it reads as a white or soft-gold stone countertop with crystal-like veining. The light is the extra, not the whole look.

The slab you choose, the size and number of lit areas, waterfall ends, cutouts, the lighting and electrical work, and installation. We don't publish prices — every slab and layout is different — but the estimate is free and spells out exactly what's included.
