Quartz
Quartz is an engineered surface that blends the natural beauty of stone with the superior durability of a man-made product. Its maintenance-free, ease of care, and impervious design make it one of the most popular options for countertops.
Common Characteristics of Quartz:
- Each slab contains 93% natural quartz, on average
- Stronger and more durable than granite
- Options for homogenous designs with consistent colors slab to slab, or natural like quartz designs with movement and veining patterns
- Virtually maintenance free – no need for sealants
- Stain, scratch, and heat resistant
- Non-porous and non-absorbent – one of the safest stones for food preparation as it won’t absorb moisture from raw or leftover foods
- Protects against mold and mildew
