Quartz vs. Granite
Quartz countertops are made with quartz that has been finely ground. Usually, this will make up 95% of the countertop material overall. The remainder is the binders and pigments that are used to add extra color or highlight quartz’s natural luster. Recycled glass taken from environmentally-friendly sources is also used to add a touch of sparkle. Instead of recycled glass, metallic flakes are also an option.
The resins used in our Slidell quartz countertops allow for them to be highly scratch-resistant and stain-resistant. These countertops, being inherently non-porous, will not require constant resealing. Preparing quartz for your home is a one-and-done process, while granite countertops need a new layer of protective coating applied at least once a year.
The Stone Gallery’s beautiful quartz countertops contain enough patterns, sparkling flecks, and swirls across a wide variety of installation choices to do justice anywhere they're installed. No longer restricted to a simple polished finish, your Slidell quartz countertops may now be presented as embossed, honed, sandblasted, and more.
