Quartz Countertops vs. Granite Countertops

Quartz countertops are generally manufactured using crushed quartz, which typically forms about 95% of the total composition. The rest comprises binders and pigments that enhance the quartz's natural brilliance or introduce additional color. Also, to add a sparkle to the countertop, recycled glass from environmentally-friendly sources, or thin metallic flakes can be incorporated.

Our Gretna quartz countertops, thanks to the resin used, are highly resistant to stains and scratches. The inherent non-porous nature of these countertops eliminates the need for frequent resealing. In contrast, granite countertops require a protective layer at least once a year. With quartz, your kitchen preparation becomes a simple, one-time process.

At The Stone Gallery, our exquisite quartz countertops provide a plethora of patterns, flecks, and swirls, offering diverse installation possibilities to enhance any kitchen. With a range of finishes beyond just polished – including sandblasted, embossed, or honed – your Gretna quartz countertops offer unmatched versatility. Now, you can replace textured slate, glossy granite, or matte limestone with quartz!

How Much Do Quartz Countertops Cost? 

The overall cost of quartz countertops in your home will be determined by the chosen extras, style, finishing touches, and the amount of material needed to fulfill your vision.

How are Quartz Countertops Made? 

Quartz countertops in Gretna have an intriguing story before they grace your home. Quartz, once found in nature, is diligently extracted from the earth, ground into fine aggregate dust. This is then mixed with resin, and recycled metals or glass, as well as color enhancers. The resin is fused with the quartz under high heat to form a solid, thick slab.
