Quartz Countertops: What Are They and How Are They Made?

Often marketed as "natural quartz" or "quartz," these surfaces are actually man-made materials known as "engineered stone." They are not natural crystalline materials like granite and other stone countertops. Nonetheless, they're nearly as hard as granite, just as stain resistant, non porous, and come in a wide range of colors. For example, engineered quartz is available in solid colors (unlike any natural stone) and these counters can also be manufactured to closely approximate some color types in marble, quartzite, and simple versions of granite.

Quartz countertop formulations contain a specific "volume percentage" of two material types (solids and chemicals). The ratio of solids (crystallized quartz, amorphous quartz, mirrored glass, and possibly metal flakes) varies between 65-76%. The chemical portion includes resin binders, resin stabilizers, pigments and UV inhibitors. It totals between 24-35%.

Quartz countetop manufacturers use similar approaches. First, the solids and chemicals are mixed together and processed in a heated press mold, or in a heated vibrating vacuum molding system (called the Bretonstone process). Each approach allows proper mixing of the solids with the resin binders and the color additives used - avoiding air pockets or "voids. Once the initial manufacturing process is complete, the heated quartz slabs are cooled, then trimmed, then finished and shipped - much like natural stone counters.

The final product is a quite durable, comes in a variety of surface finishes, is virtually non-porous and is also extremely stain resistant. Please note that quartz is an indoor-only use countertop.
