Sleek, elegant, and modern—quartz countertops offer a distinguished look that rivals, and often surpasses, the popularity of granite for kitchens and vanity tops. Unlike natural granite, quartz countertops are engineered using crushed quartz, binding agents, and color pigments, with each slab containing approximately 95% quartz. Available in an ever-expanding selection of colors and styles, quartz countertops are durable, easy to clean, and low-maintenance.
We specialize in crafting and installing quartz countertops in the Charlotte and Charleston areas, offering top brands such as Cambria, MSI, Spectrum, and Slab Supply. Visit our Complete Kitchen & Bath Design Studio in Matthews and Charleston to find the perfect quartz for your space. Lead times for fabrication and installation are similar to granite, with additional time required for quartz slab delivery to our local facility.
Quartz Countertops - A High Performance Surface
Unlike granite, which is a natural stone cut and shaped into countertops, quartz combines natural and engineered materials. Our quartz is ground into varying sizes—coarse grains create a speckled effect, while finer grains result in a smoother appearance. Color pigments and polyester resin are then added and fused under intense heat and pressure, forming durable, non-porous quartz slabs ideal for countertops.
Why Choose quartz countertops
Durability
Quartz is a robust and durable material, even stronger than granite. It is virtually scratch-proof, making it an excellent choice for kitchen countertops.
Stain Resistance
Quartz countertops are highly stain-resistant due to their non-porous nature, which helps prevent most spills from penetrating the surface. However, they are not completely stain-proof—substances like red wine, coffee, and strong spices can still cause discoloration if not cleaned promptly.
Water Resistance
These countertops are non-porous, making them resistant to stains from liquids, including wine and coffee. This benefit enhances sanitation, as mildew and other organic matter cannot grow on quartz.
Care and Maintenance
Finally, this quartz is very easy to clean and maintain. They do not require regular sealing and can be effortlessly cleaned with a cloth and a suitable soap solution.
