Quartz: The Ideal Surface for Modern Homes

Quartz has become a popular choice for homeowners due to its numerous advantages:

• Durability and longevity
• Low maintenance requirements
• Resistance to stains and scratches
• Non-porous surface for improved hygiene
• Wide range of colors and patterns
• Consistent appearance throughout the slab

These qualities make quartz an excellent investment for both residential and commercial properties, providing beauty and functionality for years to come.

We would like to take a moment to provide some important information regarding the use of quartz surfaces in areas exposed to high heat, such as around fireplaces or near cooking appliances.

While quartz is a durable and versatile material for countertops, it is not resistant to intense or prolonged heat. Due to its composition, direct exposure to high temperatures—such as those from a fireplace or a hot cooking surface—can cause the material to crack. Therefore, we strongly advise against using quartz around fireplaces or placing hot pots, pans, or cooking equipment directly on the surface without proper protection.

To safeguard your quartz countertops from potential heat damage, we recommend the use of trivets or hot pads when using your drop-in cooktop or oven. These simple precautions can help prevent cracks or other damage caused by direct heat exposure.

In addition, we offer a solution to make trivets out of the same material as your countertops, providing a more seamless and aesthetic option. If a trivet happens to crack, its intended purpose is to protect the countertops, so there is no risk of damage to your quartz surfaces.

We also offer a similar service for bathroom vanities, where we can create a heat-resistant piece to place under styling tools like hair straighteners or curling irons. This helps prevent heat stains, such as yellowing, from forming on your quartz surfaces.

By taking these steps, you can enjoy the beauty and functionality of your quartz surfaces while ensuring their longevity and preserving their appearance.
