Quartz surfaces offer strength and durability and are twice as strong as granite. A quartz countertop is maintenance free, with no sealing, polishing or reconditioning needed. Simply wash with warm water. It's that simple.
Unlike granite, quartz is certified by NSF International as safe for use as a food preparation surface. Quartz is nonporous; therefore, food and moisture cannot penetrate the surface — the main source of growth for harmful bacteria. Plus, unlike granite, quartz surfaces will resist stains from common food items such as wine, coffee and tea.
Quartz is a pure, all natural and extremely hard stone. In fact, quartz is the hardest non-precious stone that can be found in the earth's surface. With its beauty and performance advantages over granite, a quartz kitchen countertop or bathroom vanity will add value to your home.
