FAQ

Engineered quartz stone is a man-made material composed of approximately 90-95% natural quartz crystals, combined with resins, polymers, and pigments. This process creates a highly durable, non-porous surface ideal for countertops, backsplashes, and various applications in both residential and commercial settings.

While granite and marble are natural stones, engineered quartz offers greater durability due to its non-porous surface, making it more resistant to stains, scratches, and bacteria. Unlike natural stone, quartz does not require regular sealing and is available in a wide variety of consistent patterns and colors.
Engineered quartz is scratch-resistant but not scratch-proof, and it is heat-resistant but not heat-proof. It’s always recommended to use cutting boards and trivets to protect the surface from potential damage caused by sharp objects or extreme heat.
Quartz stone is low-maintenance and easy to clean. Simply use a mild soap or non-abrasive cleaner with water and a soft cloth. Avoid harsh chemicals, bleach, or abrasive pads, which can damage the surface over time.
Most engineered quartz is designed for indoor use only, as prolonged exposure to direct sunlight and UV rays can cause fading and discoloration. However, some manufacturers may offer outdoor-rated quartz products; check the specifications before use.
Many engineered quartz brands prioritize sustainability by using recycled materials in their products and employing eco-friendly manufacturing processes. Check with your supplier to learn about their environmental practices.
Engineered quartz comes in a wide variety of colors, textures, and patterns, ranging from solid colors to designs that mimic natural stone like marble or granite. Because it’s manufactured, the patterns are more uniform compared to the natural variations found in natural stone.
Quartz stone installation should always be performed by professionals. They ensure proper measurements, cutting, and seam placement for a precise and seamless finish. DIY installation is not recommended due to the weight and technical expertise required.
Yes, quartz stone is non-porous, making it highly resistant to bacteria and germs. Its surface is safe for food preparation, provided it is cleaned regularly. However, avoid direct contact with raw food or placing hot pans directly on the surface to maintain its condition.
Yes, engineered quartz can be customized to fit specific design needs. It can be cut, shaped, and fabricated into various sizes and edge profiles. Additionally, it can be matched with different color schemes, making it a versatile option for both modern and traditional designs.
