Home About Us Commercial Residential Contact Galleries Q Quartz Countertops Engineered Quartz Engineered Quartz Stone has all the beauty of natural stone without the maintenance. Quartz kitchen countertops and bathroom vanities are the worry-free alternative to higher maintenance granite kitchen countertops and bathroom vanities. They are twice as strong as granite, quartz counters require no resealing, are highly resistant to scratches and stains, and come in a large variety of colors. The appearance of the quartz counters varies depending on the size and mix of the granules. Smaller, finer crystals give a more uniform appearance, while larger ones provide a more mottled look. Advantages of Quartz Countertops Strength & Durability- Engineered Quartz Surfaces are twice as strong as granite. Maintenance Free – No sealing, polishing or reconditioning is needed.
