why choose quartz?
quartz surface BENEFITS
heat resistant
Quartz is highly resistant to heat, meaning it won’t easily scorch or crack from exposure to hot pots or appliances. This makes it an excellent option for kitchens.
Low Maintenance
Unlike natural stone, quartz surfaces do not require sealing. They are easy to clean with just soap and water, making maintenance hassle-free.
Increased Property Value
Investing in quartz surfaces can significantly enhance your home's value. High-quality quartz is often viewed as a luxury material, appealing to potential buyers.
Durability
Quartz is one of the hardest materials available, making it highly resistant to scratches, chips, and stains. This durability ensures that quartz surfaces maintain their beauty and functionality over time.
Is quartz right for you?
differences between
QUARTZ & GRANITE
When it comes to choosing the perfect surface for your home, understanding the differences between quartz and granite is essential. While both materials offer unique advantages and aesthetic appeal, they differ significantly in composition, maintenance requirements, and design versatility.
Quartz characteristics
Composition:
Because quartz surfaces are engineered, they offer consistent color and pattern throughout, unlike natural stone, which can have variations. This ensures a uniform look that can be easily integrated into any design scheme.
maintenance:
Non-porous and does not require sealing, making it more stain-resistant and easier to maintain. Daily cleaning is simple with mild soap and water, which keeps quartz surfaces looking like new.
Design variety:
Available in a wide range of colors and patterns, including options that mimic natural stone. Whether you want a sleek modern look or a traditional style, quartz can be customized to match almost any aesthetic.
Cost:
Quartz is generally priced consistently across different styles and colors, as it is engineered, offering predictable costs for most projects. While it may be slightly more expensive upfront, the lower maintenance needs can offset the investment over time.
granite characteristics
Composition:
100% natural stone, formed from compressed molten rock, offering unique, natural patterns in each slab. Each piece of granite is one-of-a-kind, giving a distinct and natural aesthetic to any room.
maintenance:
Porous surface requires periodic sealing to protect against stains and moisture absorption. Granite needs sealing once or twice a year to maintain its durability and prevent potential damage.
Design variety:
Limited to the colors and patterns found in nature, offering a more organic and unique look in each slab. Granite’s natural variations in color and veining give each installation a distinct character.
Cost:
Granite prices can vary widely depending on the rarity, color, and origin of the slab. Exotic varieties can be significantly more expensive, and the need for periodic sealing adds to the long-term costs of maintaining granite surfaces.

quartz care & maintenance
Clean Regularly:
Wipe down your quartz surfaces daily with a soft cloth and a mild soap solution to remove spills and prevent staining. Avoid abrasive sponges or scouring pads that can scratch the surface.
Avoid Harsh Chemicals
Steer clear of harsh cleaning products, such as bleach or strong solvents, which can damage the resin in quartz. Instead, use pH-balanced cleaners specifically designed for quartz.
Use Cutting Boards
While quartz is durable, it’s best to use cutting boards to prevent scratches from knives and other sharp objects. This helps maintain the surface's integrity and appearance.
Protect from Heat
Quartz is heat-resistant but not heat-proof. Always use trivets or hot pads under hot pots and pans to prevent potential damage from extreme temperatures.
Address Spills Promptly
Clean up spills as soon as they happen, especially acidic substances like citrus juices, vinegar, or wine, to prevent any potential staining or damage to the surface.

What is quartz made of?
Quartz surfaces are engineered from a mixture of natural quartz crystals (approximately 90-95%) and resins or polymers. This composition gives quartz its strength and uniform appearance.
Is quartz heat-resistant?
While quartz is heat-resistant, it is not heat-proof. It can withstand moderate heat but using trivets or hot pads under hot pots and pans is recommended to avoid potential damage.
Do quartz surfaces require sealing?
No, quartz surfaces are non-porous and do not require sealing. Unlike natural stones, quartz is designed to resist stains and bacteria without the need for additional protective treatments.
How do I clean quartz surfaces?
Quartz surfaces can be easily cleaned with a mild soap solution and a soft cloth. Avoid using harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners, as they can damage the surface.
Can I use quartz outdoors?
While quartz is durable, exposure to direct sunlight and extreme weather conditions can affect its color and integrity over time. It is generally recommended for indoor use, but some quartz brands offer outdoor-rated options.
Is quartz scratch-resistant?
Quartz is highly scratch-resistant due to its hard composition, but it is not completely scratch-proof. It’s advisable to use cutting boards to protect the surface from scratches caused by sharp objects.
What colors and patterns are available in quartz?
Quartz surfaces come in a wide variety of colors, patterns, and finishes. Because they are engineered, you can find options that mimic natural stones like marble and granite, as well as bold, contemporary designs.
How does quartz compare to granite in terms of durability?
Both quartz and granite are durable, but quartz is generally more resistant to stains and does not require sealing, making it easier to maintain over time.
Is quartz eco-friendly?
Many quartz manufacturers use sustainable practices and incorporate recycled materials in their products. However, the environmental impact can vary by brand, so it’s best to check with the manufacturer for specific details.
