Your kitchen remodel project is full of options and decisions. One of them is choosing the material for your countertop. Quartz is a popular choice because of its durability, affordability, beauty and styles and colors to meet every desired design. As you plan your new kitchen, let us help you evaluate if quartz is a good choice for your lifestyle.
What is Quartz?
Quartz is a man-made stone comprised of natural and engineered elements. Natural quartz crystals are mined from the earth, ground into a dust and then fused with resin binders under intense heat and pressure to form a solid slab. During the process, pigments are added to create slabs with flecks, swirls and patterns and color.
Durable
Quartz is one of the hardest minerals on earth, so a quartz countertop is extremely durable. Quartz is scratch, etch, heat and stain resistant making it an ideal choice for a busy kitchen. It is also easy to care for. Quartz does not require sealing and is non-porous so it is highly sanitary. Gentle soap and water are all you need to keep your countertop clean.
