Quartz Countertops

Quartz countertops are engineered surfaces composed of approximately 90 to 95 percent ground natural quartz crystals bound together with polymer resins and pigments. This manufacturing process produces a material that combines the beauty of natural stone with the performance advantages of modern engineering. The result is a countertop surface that has rapidly become one of the most popular choices for kitchens and bathrooms across the country.

One of the most significant advantages of quartz is that it is non-porous. Unlike natural stone, quartz does not have microscopic pores that can harbor bacteria or absorb liquids. This makes it an exceptionally hygienic surface for food preparation areas and bathrooms alike. You will never need to seal a quartz countertop, which eliminates an ongoing maintenance step that natural stone requires.

Because quartz is engineered, it offers an extraordinary range of colors and patterns. Whether you prefer a clean, uniform solid color, the look of natural marble veining, or a design that mimics the depth of granite, quartz manufacturers can achieve it with remarkable consistency. This means you can select your slab knowing that the installed countertop will look exactly like the sample you chose in the showroom — a level of predictability that natural stone simply cannot guarantee.

Daily care for quartz is about as simple as it gets. Warm water and a soft cloth handle most cleanup, and mild household cleaners take care of anything else. Quartz resists staining from coffee, wine, juice, and cooking oils without any special treatment. It is also highly scratch resistant, maintaining its smooth finish through years of everyday use. For homeowners who want a beautiful, worry-free surface, quartz delivers on every front.
