Quartz Countertops

Quartz Countertops Combine Style, Durability and Functionality

Exploring building materials reveals intriguing histories, and quartz has a captivating narrative. Despite not being a newcomer, quartz has cemented its status as a top choice over the past 50 years, boasting exceptional benefits and innovative qualities.

Renowned for their high-end allure, quartz surfaces evoke images of luster, translucence, and durability. While these surfaces contain quartz, they primarily consist of stone-like materials with a small percentage of binders, either polymeric or cement-based, for reinforcement.

In the early 1960s, the Italian company Breton S.p.A pioneered the engineering of these surfaces by pressing polymer resins into natural quartz crystals. Today, Breton remains at the forefront of engineered stone-making equipment, with Tops Unlimited utilizing their premier product, Silestone. Explore our range of quartz surfaces from leading suppliers like  Cosentino and Viatera on our vendors page.

Breton’s innovative process transformed quartz, once impractical as a countertop material, into a hard, durable, and low-porosity surface. Controlled manufacturing allows for a range of products, from fine to coarse-grained, with customizable colors and sparkle levels.

Benefits and Features

  • Stunning Appearance: Quartz surfaces boast a natural luster akin to that of natural stone, adding depth and dimension to any space.
  • Exceptional Hardness: Composed primarily of minerals, quartz provides a sturdy work surface, far surpassing the hardness of laminate countertops.
  • Resistant to chips, dents, and stains, quartz surfaces require minimal upkeep. Their low porosity limits bacterial growth, eliminating the need for resealing and ensuring long-term durability.

Quartz’s versatility extends beyond its practical benefits, offering endless design possibilities to complement any aesthetic. Whether seeking a sleek modern look or a more traditional feel, quartz surfaces deliver timeless elegance and enduring quality to elevate your kitchen or bathroom design.
