Quartz Countertop
Quartz is one of the most abundant minerals on our planet. As a non-porous material, quartz doesn’t need sealant like natural stone does. In fact, quartz isn’t a “stone” at all, but a man-made substance containing minerals from stone as well as a resin binder and color additives. This makes quartz countertops remarkably easy to maintain and to clean. Quartz countertops are typically NSF-certified, meaning they’re safe and do not harbor harmful bacteria in the pores. Because quartz is non-porous, it is also less likely to stain since there are no “pores” for the spills to accumulate in.
