All About Quartz
The Benefits Of Quartz Countertops
Quartz countertops are comprised of man-made engineered stone, a combination of 90% ground quartz (a natural hard mineral) with 10% resins, polymers, and pigments. This hard, granite-like surface may have a flecked appearance or a smooth look, depending on how it’s ground. Quartz happens to be the second most abundant material in the earth’s crust!
Quartz is a manufactured product, so it comes in a much wider range of colors than you’ll find in natural stones like granite or marble. The appearance of the finished engineered stone is rich and luxurious, with a depth that can’t be produced with solid surface materials. It’s got the same durability as concrete and granite, but is much more forgiving, so it won’t chip or crack as easily.
Why Choose Quartz Countertops
There are many reasons to choose quartz
Because quartz countertops are so hard and durable, they can take a lot of abuse over the years. Featuring a glossy sheen, this non-porous and stain-and-crack resistant material doesn’t require sealing or resealing, so you know maintenance is a breeze. It comes in a wide range of colors, plus it’s easy to clean with mild soap, water, and a soft cloth.
While granite is still the most popular choice for countertops, quartz is coming in fast at number two. Many homeowners choose quartz countertops because they are:
- Nearly indestructible
- Non-porous, so they won’t stain
- Resistant to corrosion and stains from household cleaning solutions, liquids, and oils
- Flexible, with many design options to choose from
- Extremely low maintenance
