Quartz Countertops - The Comprehensive Guide

Quartz countertops have quickly become the go-to surface for modern kitchens and bathrooms , outpacing granite as the leading premium choice. Thanks to their unmatched durability, low maintenance, and stunning aesthetic versatility, quartz has earned its place as the top material for both residential and commercial spaces.

In this updated guide, we’ll break down everything you need to know about quartz countertops.

What Are Quartz Countertops?

Quartz countertops are engineered stone surfaces. They combine the best of natural stone with modern manufacturing processes. This results in a surface that’s comparable (and often superior) in beauty to granite and marble while offering greater durability.

How Are Quartz Countertops Made?

At our factory, we produce quartz countertops using roughly 90% loose quartz. The rest is resins and pigments. We mix and blend these materials before molding them into slabs. From there, we apply 100 tons of pressure to the slab via a vacuum and vibration process.

We then cure the slabs, polish them, and check for quality before labeling them appropriately.

This differs drastically from the manufacturing process for natural stone countertops. For these, manufacturers cut large blocks of stone and then cut them into slabs.

This process offers manufacturers less flexibility to change how the natural stone looks or overcome its shortfalls as we can with quartz.

Conclusion

Quartz is currently the most popular countertop material, and for good reason. Quartz surfaces offer greater durability, beauty, value retention, and overall quality. Whether you’re looking for a residential surface or one for commercial purposes, trust us  for all your quartz needs.
