Quartz countertops are engineered stone surfaces made from about 90% to 95% ground natural quartz mixed with polymer resins and pigments

​

Key Pros and Cons

• Pros: They are non-porous, meaning they resist stains, never need sealing, and stand up well to moisture and bacteria. They also offer high consistency in color and pattern. 

​

• Cons: They are sensitive to high heat (resins can scorch above 300°F), can discolor under direct, harsh UV sunlight.
