Quartz
Quartz can give granite a run for its money with the durability and look of natural stone, minus the maintenance. It’s a very hard stone quarried out of the earth, ground into small pieces, mixed together in a sheet layer and held together with resin as part of its manufacturing process. Quartz counter tops are often sold under such brand names as: Silestone®, Ceasarstone®, Staron Radianz, Hanstone and Zodiaq®.
