WHY QUARTZ IS THE RIGHT CHOICE FOR YOUR HOME’S COUNTERTOPS
QUARTZ COUNTERTOPS ARE ENGINEERED FOR QUALITY
Unlike natural stone slabs that are mined, quartz slabs are engineered in a production facility. Ground quartz is mixed with pigments to give it color and then fused with resin binders under intense heat and pressure to form a solid slab. Recycled glass or metallic flecks may also be added to the mixture to create an eye-catching design. The manufacturing process has become more advanced over the years and is now able to create veining, swirls, and color variations that render it indistinguishable in appearance from natural stone. Once the material has cured, it may be polished, honed, sandblasted, or embossed to create a glossy or matte finish or a variety of textures.
NOT ALL QUARTZ COUNTERTOPS ARE CREATED EQUAL
Just as with any manufactured product, the quality of quartz countertop slabs can vary widely. Although the added resins tend to make them more flexible than those made from natural stone, poor quality quartz countertops may crack during installation or develop chips over time. And even though quartz surfaces are non-porous and don’t require sealing, if the bond between the quartz and the resin breaks down, they may become vulnerable to staining. In order to ensure the manufacturer stands behind its product, consumers should look for a comprehensive warranty program.
