Engineered Quartz
How Engineered Quartz is Different
Engineered quartz is making big waves in the industry and is quickly becoming the most popular stone choice for countertops. It offers higher durability and lower maintenance than granite, and the color can be modified depending on your direction in decoration for the kitchen or bathroom. Redstone Marble and Granite, Ltd. can even change and adjust it to take on the appearance of marble or granite.
Pros and Cons of Choosing Engineered Quartz
While there are many better reasons than precautionary reasons to get engineered quartz for your next project, the cons are very helpful in deciding where to place the stone for purchasing. Let the professional design team at Redstone Marble and Granite, Ltd. help you decide whether or not this unnatural stone is the right option for you and your household.
Pros:
- Non-Porous
- Heat resistant
- Scratch resistant
- Impact resistant
Cons:
- Cost
- Only suited for indoor use
- Heat can warp
Heat resistance is one of the attributes that can be misleading about engineered quartz. While it won’t warp or melt your countertop in the way that a laminate might, it can still damage it if left on for an extended amount of time. It is safe for short exposure, but the best way to take care of your new stone is to use heat pads always.
