Why homeowners choose quartz

• No sealing needed. Quartz is non-porous, so spills stay on the surface instead of soaking in.
• Consistent look. What you see in the sample is what you get across the whole kitchen.
• Low maintenance. Soap, water and a soft cloth are all it needs day to day.
• Wide range of colors. From solid whites and greys to veined designs that look like marble.

What to know before you choose

The resin that makes quartz non-porous can be damaged by high heat. Always use a trivet or hot pad under pots, pans and slow cookers.

Quartz is made for indoor use. Long hours of direct sunlight can fade some colors over time, so it isn't the right choice for outdoor kitchens.

Very strong chemicals like oven cleaner or paint stripper can harm the surface. Everyday cleaners made for countertops are fine.

Caring for quartz day to day

Wipe quartz with warm water and a mild dish soap, then dry it with a soft cloth. For dried-on spots, a plastic scraper lifts them off without marking the surface.

Skip scouring pads and abrasive powders, which can dull the finish over time. Cutting boards are a good habit too: they protect both the countertop and your knives.

Where quartz works best

• Busy family kitchens, where spills happen daily and nobody wants to think about sealing.
• Large kitchens that need to match, since every slab of a given quartz color looks alike.
• Bathrooms and laundry rooms, where toiletries and detergents meet a non-porous surface.
• Indoor bars and coffee stations, with drinks that would stain more porous stone.

Quartz or natural stone?

Choose quartz if you want a uniform look and the least upkeep. Choose granite or marble if you want a one-of-a-kind natural slab. Our engineered stone guide compares the two side by side.
