QUARTZ COUNTERTOPS

Quartz is one of the hardest minerals on earth, making it one of the more durable countertop options for kitchens. If you’ve been dreaming of installing a countertop that can stand up to your daily cooking routine, quartz is an option you definitely want to consider. These counters come in a wide range of eye-catching colours, allowing you to make a statement or simply blend in with the rest of the kitchen’s fixtures.

Quartz offers a good scratch-resistant surface that is also non-porous — meaning bacteria and stains have a hard time settling in.

While people were hesitant to use Quartz in the past because of its limited design options, this is no longer the case.
