Quartz countertops are a popular choice for kitchens and bathrooms due to their durability, low maintenance, and aesthetic appeal. Quartz countertops are made of 90% crushed granite, marble, natural stone, or recycled industrial waste and 10% polymeric or cement-based binder that binds all the material together . Quartz countertops are extremely durable and can withstand daily use with ease for life. As a hard material, it resists chips, scratches, stains, and cut marks; but it’s best to use a cutting board. Quartz is also nonabsorbent, resists stains, and is maintenance-free.
