Uses for Quartz
Quartz is a close runner-up to granite for use in kitchens and bathrooms and is also used for commercial purposes, floors, walls and tile-sized projects.
Due to its manufactured construction, quartz countertops are solid and flexible, allowing for easy cleaning and installation that some solid-surface materials do not.

Sizes
It is very similar in size to granite; quartz slabs are 52” to 63’’ high by 118” to 130’’ long by approximately 2 to 3cm thick. More flexible and adjustable, your granite slab countertops can be variations of these sizes to meet your needs.
How Quartz Is Made
A substance, quartz countertops are made from 90-95% quartz and 5-10% resins and binders. This combination creates an amazingly durable countertop without pores or cracks. Quartz is nonporous, which means it will never need sealing. These countertops are stain-resistant and require little to no maintenance. However, quartz countertops are less heat resistant than granite countertops, so you should only set a hot pan down with something under it.

FAQs
The following are some commonly asked questions about our quartz countertops in Oakville:
What Colour Options Does Quartz Offer?
Our quartz countertops are incredibly versatile, and we offer numerous colour options. If you'd like to know whether we have a particular colour, we invite you to speak to us.
Should I Avoid Any Chemicals on Quartz?
When cleaning your quartz countertop, we advise using cleaners with a pH between 5-8. Furthermore, oil soaps, toilet bowl cleaners, grill cleaners, furniture cleaners, and similar products can be damaging.
Are Quartz Countertops Unbreakable?
Quartz is an incredibly durable material, and it is likely you will only damage them through use if you're very rough. We recommend using cutting boards and hot pads between hot tools on your countertop.
Are Quartz Countertops Seamless?
The seamlessness of your quartz countertop depends entirely on your property's dimensions. Quartz slabs have a maximum length- generally 125” L x 65” W. If the area you want to install the countertop over measures more than this, your countertop will require seaming.
Care and Maintenance
Quartz countertops are non-porous and do not need to be sealed, so you never have to worry about resealing and the costs associated with that process. Quartz countertops can be cleaned simply with a damp towel or light cleaner such as a vinegar/water solution or non-bleach and non-abrasive household cleaners. After removing a spill, wipe your counter down with clean water and dry it with a paper towel or white cloth.
