What is Engineered Quartz?

Boasting the best qualities of laminate and stone (along with its own special features), quartz began appearing in the past decade. Today, quartz countertops are exploding in popularity.

Although some quartz countertops are actually made of quarried slabs of the natural stone, the new engineered material is actually created through a manufacturing process that mixes approximately 95 percent ground natural quartz with 5 percent polymer resins. The result is a super-hard, low-maintenance, natural stone-look countertop available in a dazzling array of colors. And for many of the clients choosing quartz, the virtually unlimited colour options is what sold them.

Although there are many colors on the market, quartz does not have the natural flow and uniquely formed combinations that granite and other natural stone can offer. It offers more control over your final colour design in exchange for the striking, free-flowing patterns found in other natural stone. Quartz also cannot offer the same range of finishes available from travertine, marble, or granite, as it is confined to either a polished or honed in nearly every case.
