What Is Quartz?
If you’re new to quartz as a material for countertops, it’s considered one of the hardest minerals on the planet. The amount of natural quartz that’s found in slabs will vary depending on what blend of other materials each manufacturer includes in the mix. However, quartz can definitely be considered a natural stone – even with it being “engineered” or man-made.

What's Special about Kalacatta Quartz?
Like any type of quartz, Kalacatta Quartz is a type of engineered stone, which is another way to refer to quartz. It consists of 93% natural stone along with a mix of various minerals and resins. The stone is then cut professionally, polished, and dried before being scraped and thickness calibrated. The result from this meticulous process is a top-quality quartz surface. This is why we’re able to confidently offer a 15-year warranty to further ensure complete customer satisfaction.
Natural Stone vs. Concrete
Concrete is not natural stone, although it is sometimes used for countertops and sometimes assumed to be an acceptable alternative to the real thing. Concrete countertops are actually porous and susceptible to stains. They will also need to be periodically resealed. Quartz countertops, on the other hand, do not absorb liquids. They are also very easy to maintain and keep looking great for many years.
What's Unique about Quartz Countertops?
Quartz is one of our specialties since it has many appealing qualities. For one thing, it is stain resistant. This doesn’t mean it cannot be stained under certain circumstances. Even so, it does have a high degree of stain resistance that can allow anyone using a quartz countertop to fully enjoy their living spaces. Countertops made from quartz are naturally stain-resistant when it comes to a wide variety of liquids, including oils. They also resist corrosion extremely well.
What’s more, quartz is considered nearly indestructible. We say this because of the durability of quartz as a countertop surface. Incidentally, the durability of quartz means that resealing is no longer required. In fact, an argument can be made that quartz countertops are the most durable surface choice for kitchens.
Very low maintenance is required for quartz countertops. This is another perk often appreciated by anyone who opts for quartz for kitchen and bathroom surfaces. It ultimately means that more time can be spent enjoying interior spaces than worrying about keeping quartz countertops looking great.
From apple green and stunning red to rich, earthy browns and soothing cream hues, there are many possibilities with color selections for quartz. It’s also a type of engineered stone that has veining, sparkles, and other unique features. Quartz can even mimic marble and granite in a way that’s exceptionally impressive.
What's to Love about Stone Countertops?
Stone countertops can up the value of a kitchen and bathroom and produce that much-coveted “wow” factor. Granite, marble, and soapstone countertops all have great aesthetics. This is also true with quartz. Granted, each type of stone has unique properties and characteristics, but it’s not hard to find an option that’s truly appreciated for one reason or another.
Make a Smart Investment with Quartz and Stone
Regardless of what you prefer with quartz or stone, you’ll be making a smart investment when you make a purchase from Kalacatta Stone. When handled properly and installed correctly, quartz and stone can offer additional benefits. Some of these include:
- Quartz countertops never need to be sealed.
- Non-quartz stone countertops do need sealed, but they can still be relatively low in maintenance.
- Quartz countertops won't harbor harmful bacteria, which results in a smooth, safe surface
- Homeowners and designers absolutely love quartz and stone countertops because of the many options with patterns, textures, and colors.
Quartz and other stone countertops are durable, but not indestructible like we mentioned above. Sudden temperature changes can damage stone countertops. For this reason, care should be taken to use potholders and trivets when anything hot is placed down on a stone countertop.
Consider Quartz for Outdoor Kitchens
Quartz countertops aren’t officially approved for outdoor use. That said, it is still possible for designers and builders to use quartz for outdoor kitchens that will be fully covered and protected from direct exposure to the elements.
