Quartz countertops are an engineered stone. The maker crushes natural quartz, binds it with resin, adds color and presses it into large slabs. Quartz is the main ingredient, and each brand uses its own recipe.
That recipe decides the care, heat and warranty rules for your slab. We read the brand's written guidance before we cut and pass it on to you.
Quartz gives you the beauty of stone with a pattern that stays even across the slab. Some designs copy marble veining for a touch of elegance, others look like granite, concrete or a simple solid color.
The palette runs from bright whites and warm creams to soft grays and deep blacks. Since the slabs are made in a factory, a second slab matches the first, which helps on a long kitchen run.
Like every material, quartz has pros and cons. Compare them below, and see our main
quartz countertops page for more colors.
