Quartz

Quartz kitchen countertops, often referred to as engineered stone countertops, present a perfect marriage of style and durability, making them a popular choice in contemporary kitchen design. These countertops are manufactured by combining around 90-95% ground natural quartz with 5-10% resins, polymers, and pigments. This process results in a very hard, non-porous surface, offering several advantages over natural stone. Quartz countertops are highly resistant to scratches, stains, and heat, making them ideal for kitchens where functionality is as important as aesthetics. Unlike natural stone, they do not require regular sealing, making them low maintenance. The manufacturing process allows for a wide range of colors and patterns, including options that mimic the look of natural stone like granite or marble.
