Quartz Manufacturing Process

Most are made from approximately 93% crushed quartz and 7% polymers. This results in a work surface that is heat-resistant, stain-resistant, almost scratch-proof and basically maintenance-free. The added materials also allow for color transitions so that the counters can be made in basically any color under the rainbow. Quartz countertops are simply the best!

It’s these color options that are the most exciting to homeowners. With granite, the color selection is limited to more earthy tones since it is a natural rock that comes straight from the earth. There is no material added to granite so there is no option to provide it in dramatic and exciting colors.
