Quartz kitchen countertops Montgomery County PA.
Quartz: A Closer Look
If you enjoy the way granite looks, take a peek at Quartz. Because it’s an engineered stone, you will have far more color choices vs. natural stone. Better still, they capture natural light and are easily maintained.
You’ve probably seen quartz crystals and clusters here and there, but it doesn’t grow in slabs like other stones. So, for a countertop, the quartz must be crushed and mixed with resin. When ground coarsely, the countertop will look a bit flecked. Finely ground quartz produces an even look.
Quartz is:
- Nonporous
- Food safe
- Durable
- Stain and grease-resistant
- Heat resistant
- Anit-Macrobial
Quartz Drawbacks
- UV sensitivity may cause fading
- It can and does burn if you do not protect it from, say, a pan right off the stove.
- Slightly more costly than granite
- Not immune to scuffs and scratches
