US Quartz Countertops
Quartz Countertops
Quartz or Engineered Countertops are a great alternative to natural Stone.
Basically hard material like quartz, glass, shells and other material is mixed with a polymer to bond the harder materials together. This creates a surface that is void of bacteria collecting defects that can be found in natural stone. Quartz Countertops do NOT need to be sealed. The look of these materials are typically more uniform but more expensive material has more natural and less uniform appearance. This could be the perfect solution for your US Kitchen or bathroom.Quartz Countertop Pricing: What to Expect
