NY. Quartz surfaces are an engineered product, meaning that they are man-made. The slabs are created by mixing ground quartz from the earth with different pigments, chemicals, and resin to create a mixture that is then poured into large molds and baked at a very high temperature to harden. As an engineered stone, quartz slabs can be designed and created to mimic natural stone or have their own unique looks. Quartz countertops have been in existence for over 20 years and are now considered the most popular material to use in a home. These man-made slabs are sold by a variety of companies and are made across the globe.<\/h3>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-f9e92e1 elementor-widget-tablet__width-initial animated-slow elementor-invisible elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading\" data-id=\"f9e92e1\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-settings=\"{&quot;_animation&quot;:&quot;fadeIn&quot;,&quot;_animation_delay&quot;:350}\" data-widget_type=\"heading.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<h3 class=\"elementor-heading-title elementor-size-default\">At Alps Craftsman, we work with a number of qualified suppliers to ensure that the products being sold will hold up to quality standards and come with a warranty. Normally, quartz slabs contain around 90% ground quartz in them, but as raw material prices have increased and supply chains have been disrupted over the last few years, some manufacturers have reduced the quartz content in lieu of cheaper alternatives. As a professional and ethical countertop fabricator, we work to protect our customers and don\u2019t offer such products.<\/h3>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<section class=\"elementor-section elementor-top-section elementor-element elementor-element-61edbc2 elementor-section-content-middle elementor-section-stretched elementor-reverse-tablet elementor-reverse-mobile elementor-section-boxed elementor-section-height-default elementor-section-height-default\" data-id=\"61edbc2\" data-element_type=\"section\" data-settings=\"{&quot;stretch_section&quot;:&quot;section-stretched&quot;}\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-container elementor-column-gap-default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-50 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-b8228ae elementor-invisible\" data-id=\"b8228ae\" data-element_type=\"column\" data-settings=\"{&quot;animation&quot;:&quot;fadeInLeft&quot;,&quot;animation_delay&quot;:300}\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-893006a fivestar-rating elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading\" data-id=\"893006a\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"heading.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<h3 class=\"elementor-heading-title elementor-size-default\">Quartz Countertops<\/h3>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-7152160 elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading\" data-id=\"7152160\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"heading.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<h2 class=\"elementor-heading-title elementor-size-default\">Unique Applications<\/h2>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-340807e elementor-widget-tablet__width-initial elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading\" data-id=\"340807e\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"heading.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<h3 class=\"elementor-heading-title elementor-size-default\">As an engineered product, the characteristics of quartz surfaces can be altered to achieve specific results. The process of heating the slabs creates a very strong surface that is often harder than natural stone. However, quartz will still chip if hit with an object, such as a pot or pan, at the right angle.<\/h3>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-a793906 elementor-widget-tablet__width-initial elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading\" data-id=\"a793906\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"heading.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<h3 class=\"elementor-heading-title elementor-size-default\">Repairs to quartz result in better outcomes on darker colors or where there is more patterning in the slab.

Because of the resin, most quartz countertops cannot be used outside, but that is changing with the introduction of UV-stable resins that are being introduced by some manufacturers, specifically Caesarstone.<\/h3>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-7dbaac8 elementor-widget elementor-widget-button\" data-id=\"7dbaac8\"

The process begins by harvesting quartz, which is then ground and mixed with binding agents and colorants. The resulting mixture is poured into molds and baked at extreme temperatures to create durable, non-porous slabs. This engineered process allows for a wide variety of designs and finishes that mimic natural stone.<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-accordion-item\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div id=\"elementor-tab-title-1432\" class=\"elementor-tab-title\" data-tab=\"2\" role=\"button\" aria-controls=\"elementor-tab-content-1432\" aria-expanded=\"false\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"elementor-accordion-icon elementor-accordion-icon-left\" aria-hidden=\"true\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"elementor-accordion-icon-closed\"><i class=\"fas fa-question-circle\"><\/i><\/span>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"elementor-accordion-icon-opened\"><i class=\"fas fa-check-circle\"><\/i><\/span>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/span>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<a class=\"elementor-accordion-title\" tabindex=\"0\">Engineered Quartz vs. Mineral Surface - What\u2019s the Difference<\/a>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<div id=\"elementor-tab-content-1432\" class=\"elementor-tab-content elementor-clearfix\" data-tab=\"2\" role=\"region\" aria-labelledby=\"elementor-tab-title-1432\"><div id=\"div_block-248-141\" class=\"ct-div-block oxel_accordion__content\"><div id=\"div_block-249-141\" class=\"ct-div-block\"><div id=\"text_block-250-141\" class=\"ct-text-block\">When you hear terms like &#8220;mineral surface&#8221; in relation to quartz countertops, it generally refers to newer formulations that include other minerals besides quartz.

In contrast, the new mineral surface countertops that some manufacturers are creating contain only about 40% quartz, with the rest being other minerals and materials.<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-accordion-item\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div id=\"elementor-tab-title-1433\" class=\"elementor-tab-title\" data-tab=\"3\" role=\"button\" aria-controls=\"elementor-tab-content-1433\" aria-expanded=\"false\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"elementor-accordion-icon elementor-accordion-icon-left\" aria-hidden=\"true\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"elementor-accordion-icon-closed\"><i class=\"fas fa-question-circle\"><\/i><\/span>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"elementor-accordion-icon-opened\"><i class=\"fas fa-check-circle\"><\/i><\/span>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/span>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<a class=\"elementor-accordion-title\" tabindex=\"0\">Are There Different Finishes Available for Quartz Countertops?<\/a>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<div id=\"elementor-tab-content-1433\" class=\"elementor-tab-content elementor-clearfix\" data-tab=\"3\" role=\"region\" aria-labelledby=\"elementor-tab-title-1433\"><div id=\"div_block-233-141\" class=\"ct-div-block oxel_accordion\"><div id=\"div_block-256-141\" class=\"ct-div-block oxel_accordion__content\"><div id=\"div_block-257-141\" class=\"ct-div-block\"><div id=\"text_block-258-141\" class=\"ct-text-block\">Yes, quartz countertops come in a variety of finishes. The most common is polished, which gives a smooth surface, but it\u2019s not overly glossy. However, other finishes like honed (matte), leathered (textured), and concrete (industrial look) are also available. The range of textures available in quartz countertops is more extensive compared to natural stone due to its engineered properties.

Quartz is a hard mineral with a Mohs hardness scale rating of 7, making it highly resistant to scratches. While they are not completely scratch-proof, they are more resilient than many other countertop materials. Stains are less of an issue due to the non-porous nature of quartz, which prevents liquids from seeping in and causing damage. However, it\u2019s still important to clean up spills promptly to maintain their pristine condition as certain liquids and powders can react with the resin in the countertop material, resulting in a color change.<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-accordion-item\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div id=\"elementor-tab-title-1435\" class=\"elementor-tab-title\" data-tab=\"5\" role=\"button\" aria-controls=\"elementor-tab-content-1435\" aria-expanded=\"false\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"elementor-accordion-icon elementor-accordion-icon-left\" aria-hidden=\"true\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"elementor-accordion-icon-closed\"><i class=\"fas fa-question-circle\"><\/i><\/span>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"elementor-accordion-icon-opened\"><i class=\"fas fa-check-circle\"><\/i><\/span>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/span>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<a class=\"elementor-accordion-title\" tabindex=\"0\">How Do I Clean and Maintain Quartz Countertops?<\/a>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<div id=\"elementor-tab-content-1435\" class=\"elementor-tab-content elementor-clearfix\" data-tab=\"5\" role=\"region\" aria-labelledby=\"elementor-tab-title-1435\"><div id=\"div_block-274-141\" class=\"ct-div-block oxel_accordion__content\"><div id=\"div_block-275-141\" class=\"ct-div-block\"><div id=\"text_block-276-141\" class=\"ct-text-block\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.alpscraftsman.com\/quartz-countertop-care-and-maintenance\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Cleaning and maintaining quartz<\/a> countertops is simple.

However, they are not recommended for outdoor use as prolonged exposure to UV light can cause the resins to discolor and degrade. Also, areas with excessive heat or direct flame exposure, like around a fireplace, might not be suitable for quartz. Much of the appropriate applications of quartz countertops are determined by the manufacturer of said color. Different companies make their quartz slabs differently, so some products can be used in certain places that others cannot.<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-accordion-item\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div id=\"elementor-tab-title-14310\" class=\"elementor-tab-title\" data-tab=\"10\" role=\"button\" aria-controls=\"elementor-tab-content-14310\" aria-expanded=\"false\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"elementor-accordion-icon elementor-accordion-icon-left\" aria-hidden=\"true\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"elementor-accordion-icon-closed\"><i class=\"fas fa-question-circle\"><\/i><\/span>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"elementor-accordion-icon-opened\"><i class=\"fas fa-check-circle\"><\/i><\/span>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/span>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<a class=\"elementor-accordion-title\" tabindex=\"0\">What Factors Affect the Cost of Quartz Countertops?<\/a>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<div id=\"elementor-tab-content-14310\" class=\"elementor-tab-content elementor-clearfix\" data-tab=\"10\" role=\"region\" aria-labelledby=\"elementor-tab-title-14310\"><p>Several factors influence the cost of quartz countertops:<\/p><p>1.

We like to say it\u2019s like baking a cake where a bunch of ingredients are mixed to create the desired outcome. Manufacturers can create different looks and designs by adding different pigments, particles, or veins in the slabs as they\u2019re being made.\u00a0<\/li><\/ul><ul><li aria-level=\"1\"><b>Porosity and Sealant:<\/b>\u00a0The process of making quartz slabs allows them to be non-porous. Many people think that because they don\u2019t need to be sealed, that they won\u2019t stain. That is not the case. Many quartz colors will stain if interact with certain substances for a prolonged period.\u00a0<\/li><\/ul><ul><li aria-level=\"1\"><b>Strength:<\/b>\u00a0Quartz is also a very hard surface, like granite, but is not free from chipping or scratching either. Like granite, quartz chips can be repaired, but they are often more visible because the chip fill won\u2019t fully match the quartz color.\u00a0<\/li><\/ul><ul><li aria-level=\"1\"><b>Heat Resistance:<\/b>\u00a0Because of the resin used in the production of quartz slabs, the material is not heat resistant. For some customers, this fact is a non-starter for using quartz, and for others, it\u2019s something they\u2019re able to look past. Again, it all comes down to how you intend to use the room.<\/li><li aria-level=\"1\"><b>Expense:\u00a0<\/b>The starting price for quartz countertops is higher than for granite countertops. In our stock program, there is about a $10 difference per square foot between the entry-level colors for each material type. So between the two, granite is the cheaper option. On the higher end, natural stones can be much higher than quartz, but there are also some very expensive quartz slabs.<\/li><\/ul>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-50 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-88e731d elementor-invisible\" data-id=\"88e731d\" data-element_type=\"column\" data-settings=\"{&quot;animation&quot;:&quot;fadeInRight&quot;,&quot;animation_delay&quot;:300}\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-75e16b0 fivestar-rating elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading\" data-id=\"75e16b0\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"heading.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<h3 class=\"elementor-heading-title elementor-size-default\">Granite<\/h3>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-282475a elementor-widget-tablet__width-initial elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"282475a\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<ul><li aria-level=\"1\"><b>Material Description:<\/b>\u00a0This is a rock from the earth that has been cut into slabs and polished to get a smooth finish.\u00a0<\/li><li aria-level=\"1\"><b>Heat Resistance:<\/b>\u00a0The composition of minerals inside it allows for it to be heat resistant, which is very attractive to individuals who are active cooks who like the flexibility of pulling a pan off the stove or cookie tray out of the oven and placing it directly on the countertop surface. Since granite is harvested from nature, small divots, fissures, or other elements can exist on the surface. After all, it\u2019s a large rock that has been cut into countertops for your home.\u00a0<\/li><li aria-level=\"1\"><b>Strength:<\/b>\u00a0It\u2019s very strong and durable in a home. Overall, granite is resistant to chipping, scratching, and etching, but that does not mean these occurrences could happen based on homeowner use. Chips are often repairable and blend in to the stone because of the busier movement in the material than that of quartz which is often one background color.\u00a0<\/li><li aria-level=\"1\"><b>Porosity and Sealant:<\/b>\u00a0Granite also has to be sealed periodically to help protect it from staining. Some customers very much dislike the need to re-seal granite even though it\u2019s an easy service to perform. For them, they want a non-porous surface so they are only interested in quartz.<\/li><li aria-level=\"1\"><b>Expense:<\/b>\u00a0Granite countertops vary greatly in price. Certain colors are quite inexpensive, allowing most customers to be able to afford natural stone countertops. As patterns and veining become more elaborate in a slab, the more expensive that material becomes. Coupled with more expensive slabs, fabrication costs can also increase with more expensive materials because the tools, skills, and time it takes to make the countertop also increase. All this said laminate countertops are still often cheaper than granite countertops.<\/li><\/ul>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<section class=\"elementor-section elementor-top-section elementor-element elementor-element-57341b9 elementor-section-stretched elementor-section-boxed elementor-section-height-default elementor-section-height-default\" data-id=\"57341b9\" data-element_type=\"section\" data-settings=\"{&quot;stretch_section&quot;:&quot;section-stretched&quot;}\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-container elementor-column-gap-default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-100 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-b39bc39\" data-id=\"b39bc39\" data-element_type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-99e6b6f elementor-invisible elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"99e6b6f\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-settings=\"{&quot;_animation&quot;:&quot;fadeInUp&quot;,&quot;_animation_delay&quot;:300}\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<h2 id=\"headline-343-141\" class=\"ct-headline\">Contact Us About Quartz Countertops Today<\/h2><div id=\"_rich_text-344-141\" class=\"oxy-rich-text\"><p>Quartz countertops offer a beautiful, durable, and low-maintenance option for your home.
