What is Quartz Countertops

What is Quartz Countertops
 
Quartz is a stone that’s naturally and abundantly available in the Earth’s crust. The material consists of 90% quartz and 8 to 10% of other materials so it is still mostly, natural.
 
Maintenance 
Quartz countertops are generally low maintenance. Daily cleaning requires nothing more than a wipe with water and some soap. The surface isn’t very susceptible to stains so they can be easily removed by brushing gently. However, it might be a better idea to avoid harsh cleaners and chemicals. Some of them can break the bond between the quartz particles and the resins.
 
Design
Quartz can be very visually appealing, depending on how they’re made. The design relies on how finely the quartz stone is crushed. Finely crushed quartz gives the countertops a smooth, even appearance while coarsely crushed ones have a flecked, dotted appearance. Both options can be appealing so it depends largely on your personal preference.
