With so many beautiful countertop options to choose from, how do you know which is the best for your space? The first place to begin is always to educate yourself about those options. Today, we’d like to help you learn a little more about one of the more popular choices of homeowners everywhere: Quartz Countertops.
A naturally quarried mineral, Quartz was the mineral upon which the Stone Ages were based. Did you know that most early stone tools were fashioned of quartz? That should tell you something about it’s durability. Quartz countertops are even stronger than Granite. It is literally one of the strongest materials on earth. In fact, one of the only things that is stronger than quartz is a diamond. Quartz is also very versatile; it comes in an endless variety of colors, allowing you to adapt it to any type of home décor. Quartz Countertops will not stain, are easy to clean, and are resistant to bacteria. They also don’t require sealing, like many types of Granite Countertops.
Today, although some Quartz Countertops are made of quarried slabs of the natural stone, the new engineered material is created through a manufacturing process that mixes approximately 95 percent ground natural Quartz with 5 percent polymer resins.
There are two main differences between engineered Quartz and naturally quarried slabs. The first is that a large range of consistent colors not occurring naturally in nature are possible with created Quartz products. Thee second is that engineered Quartz adds an antimicrobial to the product, a very attractive feature to many.
