What is quartz?

 Quartz is a man made product formed by combining 90% ground quartz  with 8-10% resins, polymers, and pigments. This forms a very hard granite-like surface.   Quartz is non-porous so it resists staining much better than granite, marble and concrete. It stands up to juice, oil, wine, tomato, coffee and other sources of stains in the kitchen. For cleanliness, a non-porous surface means that it will not harbor bacteria or viruses, that is  why Quartz is approximately 20% to 40% more expensive than granite, Great and awesome thing about Quartz, There is no maintenance to it  which requires no sealing!
