Quartz is a synthetic engineered stone formed by combining ground quartz (a natural hard mineral) with resins, polymers and pigments. This forms a very hard granite-like surface. This process allows for manufacturers to create slabs that emulate the look of granites, marbles and other natural stones while maintaining colour consistency throughout the slab. Quartz has a great appeal due to the fact that they are non-porous, scratch, stain, and heat resistant. Hence, they are very popular in today’s market.
