About Quartz

Quartz is the fourth strongest material on earth after diamond, sapphire, and topaz. When combined with high-quality resins and formed into surfacing slabs, it lasts a lifetime, is completely hygienic, and is resistant to impact, scratching and scorching. Quartz is also the most abundant mineral on earth.

Advantages of Quartz Countertops

ADV.01

Appearance

Producers use pigments and materials like recycled glass and metal flecks to create almost any design and colour — unlike natural stone, you're not bound to Mother Nature's patterns.

ADV.02

Durability

Italian firm Breton set out in 1963 to make quartz's natural abundance into a more durable material than stone — quartz countertops are now among the most durable surfaces for the home.

ADV.03

Simple Design

Sample tiles are accurate approximations — what you see in-store is what you'll find at home. That isn't always true of real stone, where no two slabs are alike.
