Quartz countertops are engineered stone surfaces made from a blend of natural quartz crystals (usually comprising about 90-95% of the material) and resins, polymers, and pigments. These components are combined and then subjected to a high-pressure manufacturing process, resulting in a durable and non-porous countertop material.
Quartz countertops are highly regarded for their versatility and aesthetic appeal. They come in a wide range of colors, patterns, and finishes, making them suitable for various design styles. Unlike natural stones like granite and marble, quartz countertops are non-porous, which means they are highly resistant to stains and bacterial growth. This makes them easy to clean and maintain.
