Quartz countertops are comprised of approximately 90% natural quartz – the hardest non-precious stone, mixed with resin binders and pigments.

Creating unique aesthetics is possible by incorporating materials like colored glass, mirrors, and semi-precious stones such as lapis lazuli and amethyst.

However, the most impressive appearance is achieved through the simulation of natural marble.

Quartz Countertops Cons:

  1. Susceptible to Heat Damage: Quartz countertops are not as heat-resistant as materials like granite or concrete. Direct contact with hot objects, such as pots or pans straight from the stovetop or oven, can cause thermal shock, resulting in cracks or discoloration. To protect your quartz surface, it’s advisable to use trivets or hot pads when placing hot items on the countertop. The resin or epoxy in quartz may discolor if subjected to heat. Quartz will burn, check a Youtube video “Granite vs Quarts – Heat/Fire Test”
  2. Higher Cost: Quartz countertops can be more expensive compared to other countertop options.
  3. Non-Natural Material: Quartz countertops are engineered surfaces and may lack the authenticity of natural stone.
  4. Vulnerability to UV Radiation: Prolonged exposure to sunlight can cause fading or color changes in quartz countertops.
  5. Limited Chemical Resistance: Harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners can damage the surface of quartz countertops.

Quartz countertops are comparable to granite. Like granite, they are incredibly durable and will last a lifetime. 

 

Cutting and edging of engineered stone is similar to cutting and edging of natural stone.

 

Quartz slabs slightly very in shade from slab to slab and may have color specks due to nature of natural stone used in the slabs.

 

Quartz counters can be made in bright, modern colors, or they can mimic the look of marble or granite. Doesn’t matter what project you have, you should be able to find an engineered stone that satisfy your needs.

 

Quartz slabs are about 55 square feet each.

 

Engineered stone products can be utilized in a multitude of residential and commercial applications such as: countertops, vanity tops, tub decks, shower surrounds, walls, fireplace surrounds, furniture tops, and stairways.

 

Quartz is not only a high-performing surface, but is also luxurious, durable, and low maintenance surface.
