In the last decade, natural stones like granite, marble etc were the most popupar choice for kitchen countertops. But now engineered quartz is providing to be a tough competitor to them. Quartz is found in plenty of the earth crust and is an inexpensive gemstone. Quartz countertops are growing rapidly in popularity.

​

Quartz slabs are engineered ina factory- approximately 95% of ground natural quartz is mixed with 5% polyester resins for binding. Coloring pigments are added for that extraordinary array of colors.

​

The combination of resin and quartz make these slabs nonporous unlike any other and this is a big boost to the kitchen hygiene as they can be kept 99.9% bacteria and mold free. Because they are nonporous they also don’t need to be sealed and treated unlike granite and marble which need regular sealing. . They do not undergo any corrosion from cooking oils, liquids and most houshold cleaning products, because of their nonporous structure.

​

The dazzling range of colors these slabs are available in, is what endears them to most homeowners, it adds a zing to their kitchens. They are almost unbreakable their durability had prompted many manufacturers to provide warranties sometimes in the range 10-15 years, which was unheard of before with stones like granite. Incase of replacement or add on to kitchens the likelihood of finding the same color/pattern is very likely compared to granite.
