Maintenance
Quartz (also known as “Engineered Quartz”) is made with over 93% natural quartz with polymer resins. Therefore, sealing is not generally required that Natural Stone would need. Its non-porous nature is heat-resistant, and provides a far higher resistance to staining, scratches, and bacteria growth. Quartz has earned a reputation as an almost zero maintenance champion due to its performance.
