Quartz Engineered Stone

The look of quartz countertops is fairly contemporary. That isn’t necessarily a weakness since beauty is in the eye of the beholder. However, some homeowners will prefer the more natural look of granite for their home. The seams on engineered stone countertops are noticeable too, about like those with granite countertops.
Small particles of glass or reflective metallic flakes are sometimes added to some designs to achieve a unique look. The result is an attractive, extremely strong slab that is similar in appearance to marble.
In addition to lustrously polished finishes, quartz counter tops are available that duplicate the matte finish of limestone, the textured finish of granite or the gloss of highly polished stone. As an engineered product, they can be produced in far more options than natural stone countertops.
