Quartz Stone is an engineered material that is both heat- and stain-resistant making it a perfect choice for busy cooking spaces. Its manufacturing process involves combining around 93% ground quartz, which is one of the hardest minerals on the planet, Quartz Sand with a mix of polymer resins. The finished result is an incredibly durable stone-like surface that can stand up to daily wear and tear. Just as convenient, the engineered material does not require sealing like natural stone surfaces such as marble or granite.
