Incredibly abundant and durable, quartz is a naturally hard and scratch-resistant stone. Because quartz is a heavy material—approximately 17 lbs. per sq. ft.—it is an extremely strong and a highly popular choice for countertops.

The manufacturing process for quartz surfaces creates a product that doesn’t crack and resists moisture and bacteria. Although quartz is a natural stone product, manufacturers add pigments to raw quartz, creating an endless array of colors. The results help to ensure that the stone on your counters has the same color and textures as the material you chose from the manufacturer’s display.

Because quartz is a heavy stone, if you select it, you should rely on an experienced professional to fabricate and install your counters, to eliminate breakage and waste.
