Quartz is ground natural stone bound with resin into a slab that never needs sealing and holds its color and pattern with total consistency.

For a busy kitchen, a rental property, or anyone who wants the granite look without the maintenance, quartz is a genuinely excellent choice, and we carry it alongside our natural stone inventory.

Good to Know

Frequently Asked Questions

Does quartz ever need to be sealed?
No. Quartz is engineered and non-porous, so it never needs sealing, which is one of the main reasons busy kitchens choose it.
Is quartz as heat resistant as granite?
Quartz handles everyday kitchen heat well, but the resin binder can scorch under direct, sustained heat the way natural stone will not. We recommend trivets for hot pans on any quartz surface.
Can quartz look like natural stone?
Modern quartz patterns are designed to mimic marble and granite convincingly, with far more color consistency slab to slab than natural stone offers.
Do you carry quartz in the showroom?
Yes, alongside our natural stone inventory. Come compare quartz and granite side by side and we will help you decide based on how you actually use your kitchen.
