Quartz
Engineered stone that's non-porous, stain-resistant and never needs sealing — perfect for busy households.
Engineered quartz is the low-maintenance choice for busy households. Made from roughly 93% natural quartz crystals bound with high-quality resins, quartz surfaces are non-porous, stain-resistant and require no sealing — ever. Because it’s engineered, quartz offers remarkable consistency in color and pattern, making it ideal for modern and contemporary kitchens where a uniform, predictable look is desired. It also comes in an enormous range of colors and finishes, from solid tones to convincing marble-look patterns. Quartz is perfect for families with young children, rental properties and high-use kitchens that demand resilience with minimal upkeep. At Stonhaus we carry leading quartz brands including Silestone, Cambria and MSI, with 100+ colors available.
