Quartz
Quartz countertops are a modern, durable choice for kitchens and bathrooms. Made from engineered stone, they offer a wide range of colors and patterns while providing superior strength and low maintenance.
What is the stone?
Quartz is an engineered stone composed of natural quartz crystals and resin. This combination creates a non-porous surface, making it resistant to stains and bacteria. Unlike natural stone, quartz can be produced in a variety of colors and designs, allowing for more customization. Its uniform appearance makes it a popular choice for contemporary designs.
How do we use it?
Quartz is primarily used for countertops in kitchens and bathrooms, providing a clean, polished look that enhances modern spaces. It’s also used for backsplashes, walls, and even flooring in some designs.
Where does it come from?
Quartz is sourced from natural stone quarries worldwide, but the countertops themselves are engineered in factories. The manufacturing process combines ground quartz with resins and pigments, creating a versatile and customizable product.
How strong is it?
Quartz is incredibly durable, resistant to scratches, stains, and heat, though it’s not recommended to place hot pans directly on it. It’s stronger than many natural stones due to its engineered composition, making it perfect for high-traffic areas.
