Quartz derives its name from a word that means hard, and this makes sense because this stone is one of the toughest stones you can find. Able to withstand high temperatures and great pressure, quartz is both functional and beautiful, making it a great choice for stone work in your home or office.

The name quartz is derived from the German word quarz, meaning ?hard,? and this is a good way to think about this stone. The second most abundant mineral found in the continental crust of the earth, quartz is primarily composed of silicone and oxygen. It is one of the most durable and tough compounds known, truly embodying the definition of ?hard.? This makes it a great choice for inclusion in home or business stonework because it is not only beautiful, it is resilient as well.

Quartz is engineered (93% quartz and 7% resin) into sheets that are perfect for countertops or tiling. These tiles and countertops are harder than even granite, able to stand incredible amounts of heat and pressure without cracking, scratching, or losing any of their aesthetic appeal.

In addition to not showing wear, quartz is nearly maintenance free and simple to clean. It is a non-porous material, meaning that there is no place for bacteria or dirt to hide, surface resists even the toughest spills and will retain its luster for many years without the need for sealants or waxes..
