Engineered Quartz
Delivers elegant beauty and supreme performance.
What is Engineered Quartz?
Engineered Quartz is a surfacing product that has a variety of uses in your home or business such as countertops, floor tile, vanities, fireplace surrounds, wet bars, showers, etc. Engineered Quartz is comprised of natural quartz, one of the hardest and most common minerals on Earth. Many quartz colors have the natural look and feel of granite, marble and other natural stones. It is nonporous and therefore will not absorb food and liquids. And best of all, it is maintenance-free.
Engineered Quartz FAQ
Why choose Quartz Countertops for my kitchen?
They are stain-resistant and do not need to be sealed. Quartz is harder than granite or marble, and as a result, it’s more durable and less likely to chip, scratch or stain. It is a non-porous surface that makes cleaning quick and easy. It is a certified food-safe surface, since the surface will not absorb any bacteria.
Can I put hot things on my quartz countertop?
Generally, it is very heat resistant, but it depends on “how hot” an object is. A tea kettle or a hot dish out of the microwave is typically not a threat but a 450° pot from the oven can cause damage. However, it is always better to be safe rather than sorry, so we recommend the use of a hot pad.
Will my countertop be seamless?
The size and shape of the slab will determine if a seam is required. We do our best to avoid the use of seams whenever possible.
Can I cut on it?
It is not recommended to cut on stone surfaces. Though they are very durable and can take the abuse of a knife cutting on the surface, the best practice is to prevent any damage to the countertops or your knives and use a cutting board.
