Quartz
Low-maintenance engineered quartz countertops in hundreds of colors
What is Quartz?
Quartz countertops are engineered surfaces composed of approximately 93% crushed natural quartz crystals bound with 7% polymer resin and pigments. Because the surface is non-porous, it never requires sealing and resists stains, scratches, and bacteria. Quartz is available in a wider range of consistent colors and patterns than natural stone, and rates 7 on the Mohs hardness scale.
About Quartz
Quartz countertops are engineered from approximately 93% crushed natural quartz crystals bound with polymer resin, creating a non-porous surface that never needs sealing. Unlike natural stone, quartz offers consistent colors and patterns — from classic whites to bold statement pieces — while delivering exceptional scratch, stain, and heat resistance. United Granite NC carries a wide selection of quartz surfaces from leading brands including Cambria, Silestone, and Caesarstone. Visit our Durham showroom and slab yard to see our full quartz collection.
