Quartz is one of the most abundant minerals on the Earth’s surface. Naturally colourless or found in white hexagonal prisms, quartz is known for its durability and unique qualities, making it the second hardest material after diamond – an ideal choice for a sturdy yet stylish work surface.

Quartz is one of the most durable worktops on the market, if you’ve got a busy household or are an avid cook, a durable work surface like Quartz is a no-brainer to ensure your space stays in great condition.

Quartz worktops offer impressive stain resistance, but of course certain substances like red wine, tea, coffee, and spices pose a risk if spills aren’t cleaned immediately. A simple cutting board or tray will protect your worktop and leave it looking sparkling new for years to come.

Unlike some worktop surfaces, quartz is super easy to maintain. A simple solution of warm water and soap will clean your worktop perfectly. Just be sure to avoid abrasive scouring pads or any scrubbing brushes, so you don’t damage the worktop.

Quartz worktops are made up of stone and resin which naturally makes it very tough. Cracking, scratches or chipping is incredibly rare in a quartz worktop but it is important to note that they are not indestructible.

Quartz worksurfaces are a popular choice for kitchens because of their heat-resistant qualities. Whilst they’ll be able to tolerate moderately hot temperatures for a short period, it is important to remember that quartz can be damaged if repeatedly exposed to too much heat.

In the rare cases that a quartz worktop is damaged (usually by force, weight and lack of maintenance), it can easily be repaired by a worktop professional.
