What quartz is
Quartz countertops are engineered: crushed natural quartz bound with resin into a slab. That makes the color and pattern predictable from sample to slab, and the surface non-porous, so it never needs sealing.

Why people choose it
- No sealing, ever. Soap and water is all it needs.
- Non-porous, so it resists stains from coffee, wine and oil.
- The slab matches the sample, which makes planning easy.
- Wide range of whites, grays and marble looks.
What to know first
- The resin can scorch under a hot pan, so use trivets.
- Not made for outdoor kitchens, since sun can fade it.
- Seams can be more visible on long runs with bold veining.
