Quartz tops offer beautiful made stone unequaled in durability with styles and looks such as marble, solid and bright colors that are hard to find in natural stone.   They are non-porous and easy to care for and do not require a sealer.   They are made from slabs or sheets of man made quartz with a resin filler.  Because quartz is man-made it can offer the color and grain consistency that stone does not.  Many in the counter top world feel that quartz tops are the cream of the crop.  More color consistent and less  porous than granite.  Hard to scratch and stain.  Like granite, a good choice if a gloss finish or dark color is desired.  Quartz carries a warranty advantage over stone.  Quartz tops are the preferred choice of most designers.   Here you can visit two our quartz partners: www.wilsonart.com/quartz-countertops  and www.montgranite.com/collection/quartz
