Quartz Countertops
Quartz Countertop Installation in Pittsburgh Homes
If you are looking to upgrade your countertops, there’s no mistaking that the natural and glossy quality of quartz will provide a stunning look to your kitchen or bath area. Additionally, the quality of quartz also makes it easy to clean and nearly impossible to scratch.
Quartz countertops are durable, long-lasting and provide added value to a home immediately and long after your home remodel. The natural look of quartz and its variety of colors easily compliments many kitchen cabinet colors, wood grains, and all types of flooring, whether it be wood or tile. Quartz kitchen countertops enrich the atmosphere of your home and provide a relaxing place for families to gather and engage with one another.
Because quartz is engineered of crushed natural stone crystals, quartz countertop options come in many color varieties and color patterns. Most frequently, quartz comes in solid blacks, tans, browns and whites. However, the hundreds of colors available also include multi-colored and consistent natural designs, allowing kitchen counters to have an even flow.

Benefits of Installing Quartz Countertops
We are seeing a growing trend over the past few years of individuals and families who are choosing to upgrade to quartz countertops. There are many reasons for this, but the biggest benefit is that you never have to continually keep up with the maintenance of sealing quartz (as you do with other materials). Once quartz is installed, it is done. Quartz is a low-maintenance countertop.
Because quartz is man-made or engineered, its appearance is much more controlled than that of granite which can have natural inconsistencies. While the natural quality of a defect may be a bonus for some people, many others may prefer a consistent pattern. In which case, quartz is definitely the way to go.
Quartz countertops are also highly durable and strong. They are made by combining 93% natural crushed quartz with a 7% resin binder and colorant. This makes them stronger than both granite and marble.
Quartz is also highly stain-resistant.
