Quartz is one of the most popular choices for today’s countertops, as it’s a high-quality, luxury material. Unlike other luxury surfaces, quartz is an engineered slab. This opens up a new world of possibilities in form and function! Quartz countertops are tough and durable, and have many characteristics that busy families will appreciate. Quartz is a manufactured product that uses naturally sourced ingredients. It’s sometimes called engineered stone for its close appearance to natural stone countertops and extreme durability. Quartz countertops combine crushed natural quartz, one of the hardest and most abundant minerals on earth, with polymers, resins, and pigments to create a strong, durable surface with endless design potential. Most quartz countertops include 93% naturally occurring quartz, which adds to the material’s strength and durability. Quartz countertops combine the beauty and strength of nature with modern manufacturing techniques to create a surfacing material that outperforms traditional stone countertops, including marble and granite.
