White Quartz Countertops

The days of looking for a granite or marble countertop that was both bright white and an affordable price has been complimented with the advent of manufactured quartz. Natural stone such as granite and marble and quartzite (not to be confused with manufactured quartz), are limited in the brightness of their colors by what the earths crust has produced over millions of years of geologic activity. The really white stones tend to be quite expensive due to their relatively low availability and the demand for white stone.

Manufactured quartz allows consumers to get a stone surface countertop in a white color at a much more affordable price. Manufactured quartz is basically a mixture of naturally occurring quartz stone that has been pulverized into a powder and resins and color pigments. Often 94% quartz powder and 6% resin content. This combination is formed into a variety of colors and patterns of stone that purposefully mimics the natural stone appearance of granite and marble. The result is you get a white stone countertop in a wide array of color and vein patterns that suite your individual taste.
