When it comes to choosing your countertop, there are a wide variety of materials available to choose from. One of the newest favourite materials to create countertops from is engineered quartz. Engineered quartz is made from around 90 to 94 percent ground quartz and 6 to 10 percent of resin and pigments. The combination of materials is then combined into durable slabs. The strength of quartz lends itself well to countertops as it is resistant to abrasion, scratches, and other frequent issues that plague countertops. They are also easy to clean and maintain needing nothing more than soap and water to keep them clean. Due to the fabrication process used to create the quartz, the material is non-porous and resistant to bacteria and viruses. Quartz is abundant and has a much smaller environmental impact compared to some other materials that can be used for countertops.
Engineered Quartz countertops find themselves grouped among the other premium countertop choices such as Granite, Marble, and other Natural Stones. This is due to its appearance resembling natural stone, its superior quality, and the strength of quartz that has seen it increase in popularity in recent years.
