QUARTZ
Quartz is an engineered stone made from a mixture of about 90-95% crushed natural quartz crystals combined with resins, polymers, and pigments. This process results in a non-porous, durable surface that mimics the look of natural stone while offering enhanced performance. Quartz is popular for countertops, backsplashes, and other surfaces in kitchens and bathrooms.
Durability
Quartz is incredibly strong and resistant to scratches, chips, and stains, making it ideal for high-traffic areas. It's less prone to damage compared to natural stones like marble or granite.
Low Maintenance
Unlike natural stones, quartz does not require sealing. It’s easy to clean with soap and water, making it a practical choice for busy households.
Variety of Colors and Patterns
Quartz comes in a wide range of colors and patterns, allowing for customization to match any design aesthetic. The engineered nature means consistency in color and pattern across slabs.
Non-Porous Surface
Quartz is non-porous, which means it doesn't absorb liquids or harbor bacteria. This makes it a hygienic option for kitchens and bathrooms.
Eco-Friendly Options
Many quartz manufacturers offer eco-friendly options made from recycled materials, making it a sustainable choice for environmentally conscious consumers.
