Quartz countertops Montreal, Laval and Laurentides

Quartz is the most common material on the continental crust. Quartz countertops are a man-made surface combining natural quartz mixed with a binding resin and colored dyes that are perfect for your kitchen and bathroom. This process forms a very hard and durable surface that is similar to granite in look, feel and performance. Since it technically isn’t 100% stone, it is often referred to as “engineered” quartz or composite stone. However, this is definitely not a synthetic countertop. In fact, quartz is the hardest non-precious stone that can be found in the earth's surface.

Granite au Sommet only offer quartz of top quality from leading quartz manufacturers:  Silestone (25 years residential warranty), Caesarstone (lifetime warranty), low-cost Zenith, Vicostone and Hanstone. All of them are certified NSF 51 and Greenguard

Characteristics of Quartz Counter Tops:

  • Maintenance-free, Non-Porous stone. Daily maintenance is warm water & soft cloth.

  • Some quartz has an anti-bacterial agent added (Silestone by Consentino).

  • Easily cleaned. (Warm water & a paper towel/soft cloth)

  • Quartz comes in various designs, but unlike granite - which has natural variations - the patterns of quartz are fixed. What you see is exactly what you get!

  • Colors tend toward a natural palette and choice usually depends on the cabinets.

Color options for quartz countertops are virtually unlimited. Besides being beautiful in the kitchen or bath, quartz countertops are eco friendly, scratch resistant and durable. They’re easy to maintain and there's no need for special cleaners. The non-porous quality of the surfaces means they don’t need to be sealed. Also the potential for bacterial growth is reduced. Quartz is an engineered stone that is made from 93% quartz and 7% resins and pigments. Polymer additives increase strength and countertop life. The flexibility to isolate pigments lets the manufacturer create a diverse range of incredibly consistent solid tones, as well as distinctive veined color schemes, blends, speckles or other patterns; with options ranging from traditional to contemporary.

Eco friendly and seamless, quartz's non-porous nature provides maximum resistance to staining and fully eliminates the need for any sealing. Quartz countertops are easy to clean using a non abrasive cleaner. The non-porous quality of the surface also greatly reduces the potential for bacterial growth.

Natural quartz surface that looks, feels and weighs like granite, but with a shimmering uniqueness because of quartz crystals that are embedded into the material. The natural quartz radiates depth, dazzling clarity and the cool, solid feel that is unique to natural stone.

Quartz countertops are durable and virtually maintenance-free. To clean your countertops simply wipe them down using a mild household cleaner or soap and water.  Quartz is scratch resistant, stain resistant and scorch resistant. The fire of a lit match will not scorch quartz. However, don’t place crock pots and electric fry pans directly onto your countertop. As with hot pots and pans, trivets are always recommended.
