How is Quartz Made?

Before we dive into the different colors of quartz, let’s address how quartz slabs are made. Quartz slabs are considered “engineered stone,” which means they’re man-made using a combination of natural quartz crystals from the earth and added dyes and pigments. They are not mined from the ground in blocks like marble or granite, for example. Instead, they are engineered by a process that involves extreme pressure and heat to produce a durable, non-porous slab.

Where Can Quartz Be Used?

Quartz is a beautiful and practical choice for countertops in the kitchen or bathroom, but it can also be used in other ways throughout the home. Other uses for quartz slab include:

  • Backsplashes
  • Bathroom showers– except for steam showers because of the high amount of consistent moisture.
  • Flooring

No matter where you choose to use this durable, modern material, quartz is sure to make a visual impact in any area of your home.
