Quartz Countertops
Quartz Countertops Combine Style, Durability and FunctionalityExploring 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.
