Stone Surfaces: Quartz Countertops

/in /by

Quartz countertops are a modern, engineered stone; HanStone®, SileStone®, and CaesarStone® are all examples of quartz based products.

These new innovative engineered stones are products that combine natural quartz. A very extravagant yet extremely resilient stone surface is produced by only the finest quality resin and tincture to create one of nature’s hardest minerals.

 

Quartz is available in an assortment of colours; you can easily choose your colour from a single sample as colour consistency is the same throughout each slab.

  • Seams are easily matched as a result of the colour consistency.
  • Quartz is extremely versatile making it perfect for kitchen countertops and islands, bathroom vanity tops, shower stalls, tub surrounds, table tops, and fireplace surrounds.
  • It is one of the hardest stones available and it is practically maintenance free.
  • It does not require sealing and is non-porous, meaning it does not store bacteria.
  • Quartz is stain, scratch, and heat resistant to a certain extent therefore it is still recommended that you use a cutting board and a heat trivet.

Maintenance is quite simple. All you need is light soap and water to get your quartz countertop looking its best. Due to its low maintenance, extreme versatility and aesthetic appeal, Quartz’s popularity has skyrocketed, quickly becoming the “in” stone amongst homeowners.
