What is a Quartz Counter Top?

Answer:
Quartz is a natural stone material with many

great qualities including superior strength and durability. Used for countertops, quartz provides unsurpassed qualities.

Although some quartz countertops may be made from actual quartz slabs removed from quarries, most are actually made using an engineered stone material, made from 90-95% quartz chips and 5-10% polymer resins and pigment ingredients.

Quartz countertops are very likely the best countertops readily available to home builders today. Because quartz is so strong and durable and the process for manufacturing the engineered stone countertop material uses nearly 100% quartz, the result is a countertop that is pure beauty and function combined.

Quartz countertops are impervious to water and moisture, unlike other solid surface materials (granite, marble, concrete). Quartz countertops are color customizable, and the high quartz content gives these countertops an appearance and stability only real quartz can deliver.
