Manufacturers combine crushed natural quartz with resins and pigments.

This matters when deciding between countertop materials. Natural stones like granite or marble need regular sealing. Quartz doesn’t. You get the best of both worlds with quartz countertops. They use about 90% natural quartz mixed with 10% polymer resins and pigments. This blend creates a surface harder than most natural stone countertops. 

Quartz countertops contain about 90-95% natural quartz mixed with 5-10% polymer resins and pigments.

Quartz manufacturers grind these minerals into various particle sizes. The resin binds everything together. Pigments add color and visual effects.

High pressure and heat compact this mix into a non-porous, durable surface that mimics natural stone.

Unlike natural stone slabs, quartz countertops have a consistent composition throughout. This provides reliable strength and stain resistance in every inch of your countertop.

Pros of Quartz Countertops

• Extremely durable – Resists scratches, chips, and cracks better than natural stone.
• Non-porous surface – Never needs sealing and stops bacterial growth.
• Stain-resistant – Coffee, wine, and cooking oils wipe away easy.
• Consistent appearance – No unpredictable variations like in natural stone.
• Low maintenance – Simple cleaning with only soap and water.

Cons of Quartz Countertops

• Heat sensitivity – Intense heat from pots and pans can cause damage.
• Higher price point – More expensive than laminate countertop options.
• UV sensitivity – May fade when used outdoors or in direct sunlight.
• Visible seams – Larger kitchens need multiple slabs with noticeable joins.
• Professional installation required – Not a DIY-friendly project.
