Quartz worktops are designed to mimic many popular styles of natural mined stone worktops, such and granite and marble, allowing for an equally luxurious finish at a fraction of the cost. Quartz is comprised of 90% to 95% crushed raw quartz mixed with resin to create a solid that is resistant to heat and moisture. The resin makes quartz more hardwearing than marble and less porous than granite making it a great option for kitchens that endure high traffic.
Being a man-made material, quartz has less unwanted variation in the finish of the surface as it can be manufactured to have a more uniform look, ensuring you get a beautiful worktop throughout. Available in a wide range of colours, patterns, and tones, quartz is a versatile option for all styles of kitchens whether you are looking for a worktop that is understated or a worktop that is the focal point of your kitchen. The styles of quartz ranges from solid colours and monochromatic patterns to vibrate statement designs.
Unlike granite, marble, and other surfaces that require regular maintenance quartz countertops never have to be sealed. It is recommended that you avoid using harsh chemicals and abrasives on your quartz worktops, with the use of warm water and soap being sufficient in most cases to clean after general everyday use.
