Quartz Countertops Metairie

Quartz Countertops vs. Granite Countertops

Quartz countertops are usually made with quartz that has been ground up. Typically, this will be 95% of the total material used in every countertop. The remainder is the binders and pigments used to add some extra color or to emphasize the natural luster of quartz. Recycled glass from eco-friendly sources is also used to add a touch of sparkle to the countertop. Thin metallic flakes can also be used in lieu of recycled glass. 

The resins used in our Metairie quartz countertops allow for them to be highly stain and scratch-resistant. Being inherently non-porous, these countertops don’t need to be constantly resealed. Preparing quartz for your kitchen is a one-and-done process, while granite demands a new layer of protection at least once per year. 

The Stone Gallery’s stunning quartz countertops contain enough flecks, patterns, and swirls across a wide variety of installation options to do justice to any kitchen. No longer limited to just a polished finish, your Metairie quartz countertops can now be presented as sandblasted, embossed, or honed. If you have a particular appearance in mind, textures slate, glossy granite, and matte limestone can all be replaced thanks to the versatility of quartz! 

How Much Do Quartz Countertops Cost? 

The total cost of quartz countertops in your home will depend on the additions, style, and finishing touches that you’re seeking, along with how much material you’ll need to purchase to make it all happen.

How Are Quartz Countertops Made? 

Your Metairie quartz countertops carry quite a bit of history with them before winding up in your household! After quartz is discovered in nature, it is mined painstakingly from the ground before being mashed into a fine aggregate dust. The result of this process is mixed with a resin, and recycled metals or glass is added in as well. Color enhancers are also added during this stage. The resin agent is fused with the quartz by intense heat in order for the finished product of a solid, thick slab to form properly.
