Quartz is one of the hardest minerals on Earth.
Because of its strength and abundance, quartz is a popular and reliable choice for countertops. Quartz countertops are sometimes referred to as “engineered” or “man-made,” but quartz is in fact a natural stone. The amount of natural quartz in a slab depends on the quartz manufacturer.
Our Quartz Suppliers like Cambria is among the highest concentration of pure quartz to ensure strong, compact slabs.
Anti-Stain Properties
Unlike natural stones which stains, all types of quartz countertops have excellent anti-stain properties. This trait is due to the presence of polymer resin binders in quartz countertops.
Low Cleaning & Maintenance
Kitchen and quartz bathroom countertops require less cleaning and maintenance because of the natural hardness and non-porous trait of this engineered stone.
Unlike granite and marble, quartz does not require any sealing maintenance to achieve a good anti-stain property. When cleaning and polishing quartz countertops, make sure to use a soft microfiber and avoid abrasive scrubbers. Likewise, use a neutral dish soap solution for disinfection and cleaning.
