Find answers to commonly asked customer questions about this countertop material
Q: What are quartz countertops made of?
A: Quartz countertops are engineered stone surfaces made from a combination of natural quartz crystals and resins. Typically, they consist of about 90-95% ground quartz and 5-10% polymer resins and pigments.
By CountertopSmart Product ExpertQ: Do quartz countertops require sealing?
A: No, quartz countertops do not require sealing. The resins used in their manufacturing make them non-porous, which means they are naturally resistant to stains, spills, and bacteria.
By CountertopSmart Product ExpertQ: How do quartz countertops compare to granite countertops?
A: Quartz countertops are more consistent in color and pattern, require less maintenance, and are non-porous compared to granite. Granite is a natural stone and offers unique, one-of-a-kind patterns, but it requires periodic sealing and is more susceptible to staining.
By CountertopSmart Product ExpertQ: Can quartz countertops withstand heat?
A: Quartz countertops are heat-resistant but not heatproof. Direct exposure to high temperatures, such as hot pots and pans, can cause damage or discoloration. It's recommended to use trivets or hot pads to protect the surface.
By CountertopSmart Product ExpertQ: What should I do if my quartz countertop chips or cracks?
A: While quartz is highly durable, it can chip or crack under severe impact. Minor chips can often be repaired with a color-matching epoxy resin. For larger damages, it’s best to contact a professional for repair or replacement.
By CountertopSmart Product ExpertQ: Are quartz countertops scratch-resistant?
A: Yes, quartz countertops are highly scratch-resistant due to their hardness. However, using cutting boards is recommended to avoid any potential damage and to protect your knives from dulling.
By CountertopSmart Product ExpertQ: How should I clean and maintain quartz countertops?
A: Cleaning quartz countertops is easy. Use a mild dish soap and a soft cloth or sponge for everyday cleaning. Avoid using harsh chemicals, abrasive cleaners, or scouring pads as they can damage the surface.
By CountertopSmart Product ExpertQ: Can quartz countertops be used outdoors?
A: Quartz countertops are not recommended for outdoor use. Prolonged exposure to direct sunlight and varying weather conditions can cause the resin to discolor and degrade over time.
By CountertopSmart Product ExpertQ: How do quartz countertops compare to marble countertops?
A: Quartz countertops are more durable, less porous, and require less maintenance compared to marble. Marble is a softer natural stone that can scratch, stain, and etch more easily, requiring regular sealing and more careful upkeep.
By CountertopSmart Product ExpertQ: Are quartz countertops environmentally friendly?
A: Quartz countertops can be considered environmentally friendly to an extent. Many manufacturers use recycled materials in their production process. However, the production of quartz involves energy-intensive processes and the use of synthetic resins, which can impact their overall eco-friendliness.
