The technology used to create this stone&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.msisurfaces.com\/blogs\/post\/2016\/09\/20\/tips-from-the-trade-what-is-bretonstone-technology.aspx\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">was developed by the Breton Company in 1963.<\/a>&nbsp;The&nbsp;process involves blending the pulverized quartz and adding a mix of polymers. Then, the air is removed,&nbsp;and&nbsp;the product is heated and shaped&nbsp;into&nbsp;slab form.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Today, Breton is still producing engineered quartz, but&nbsp;several&nbsp;other&nbsp;brands have access to the technology required. It is important to clarify that even though several companies use this process, each one adds special twists to create a unique product.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>How quartz is made<\/strong>&nbsp;<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>Quartz&nbsp;can be found almost everywhere. The whole process of your quartz countertop begins when the clusters of the stone are extracted from the ground.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The quartz is crushed and then combined with different elements such as polyester resins and pigments. After the mix, this combination will be compacted into slabs. The last step is sealing and applying the finish to the slab. Thanks to this process and the materials used, quartz looks like a natural stone.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"576\" src=\"https:\/\/caesarstone.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/5143_White-Attica_5143_White_Attica-render-1024x576.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-37666\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.caesarstone.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/5143_White-Attica_5143_White_Attica-render-1024x576.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.caesarstone.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/5143_White-Attica_5143_White_Attica-render-300x169.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.caesarstone.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/5143_White-Attica_5143_White_Attica-render-768x432.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.caesarstone.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/5143_White-Attica_5143_White_Attica-render.jpg 1200w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\"><a href=\"https:\/\/caesarstone.com\/catalog\/5143-white-attica\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\"><span class=\"has-inline-color has-luminous-vivid-orange-color\">5143 White Attica<\/span><\/a><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Frequently asked questions<\/strong>&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Which&nbsp;<\/strong><strong>colo<\/strong><strong>rs<\/strong><strong>&nbsp;and patterns does quartz come in?<\/strong>&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>One of the characteristics that homeowners fall in love with is the fact that quartz engineered stone countertops come in a variety of&nbsp;colors, patterns and textures. The range available to you depends on the brand you choose. Because this is an engineered product, there is more uniformity than can be offered by a&nbsp;natural stone&nbsp;product. The patterns come in veined or solid designs. In addition to natural shades, quartz also comes in a variety of&nbsp;colors&nbsp;such as white, red,&nbsp;black&nbsp;and orange.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>What is the environmental impact of quartz countertops?<\/strong>&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Quartz is an abundant material and is engineered to stand the test of time. It\u2019s the ideal choice for homeowners concerned about their environmental impact as it does not need to be replaced frequently.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Where can I use engineered quartz?<\/strong>&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Even though quartz is usually used as a countertop for your kitchen, there are other parts of your house where you can utilize it&nbsp;including backsplashes,&nbsp;tub\/shower surrounds, fireplace surrounds, wall cladding and more.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It\u2019s important to note that&nbsp;quartz&nbsp;is a very heavy material and that only&nbsp;UV stable quartz&nbsp;(such as in&nbsp;our&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/caesarstone.com\/outdoor-collection\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Outdoor Collection<\/a>)&nbsp;can&nbsp;be used outdoors.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"576\" src=\"https:\/\/caesarstone.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/5114_Calacatta-Maximus_5114_Calacatta_Maximus_Traditional_Render-1024x576.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-37667\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.caesarstone.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/5114_Calacatta-Maximus_5114_Calacatta_Maximus_Traditional_Render-1024x576.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.caesarstone.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/5114_Calacatta-Maximus_5114_Calacatta_Maximus_Traditional_Render-300x169.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.caesarstone.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/5114_Calacatta-Maximus_5114_Calacatta_Maximus_Traditional_Render-768x432.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.caesarstone.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/5114_Calacatta-Maximus_5114_Calacatta_Maximus_Traditional_Render.jpg 1200w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\"><a href=\"https:\/\/caesarstone.com\/catalog\/5114-calacatta-maximus\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\"><span class=\"has-inline-color has-luminous-vivid-orange-color\">5114 Calacatta Maximus<\/span><\/a><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Are quartz countertops heat resistant?<\/strong>&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>As&nbsp;part of the process of making quartz, the material is exposed to a significant amount of heat&nbsp;though it&nbsp;is not heat&nbsp;proof. We recommend avoiding any exposure to heat to ensure the durability of your quartz. The&nbsp;routine&nbsp;use of burn pads or trivets is recommended to avoid burn marks.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Is there a difference between quartz and quartzite?<\/strong>&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Quartz is an engineered stone. Though 90% of the material in quartz comes from the ground, it is not a natural stone. Quartzite is a natural stone while quartz is man-made.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>How can I clean my quartz countertop?<\/strong>&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Quartz is nonporous, which means bacteria won\u2019t accumulate on the surface. Plus, quartz countertops are also&nbsp;stain-&nbsp;and scratch-resistant.&nbsp;Clean-up&nbsp;is quick and easy&nbsp;through&nbsp;wiping with water and mild soap every&nbsp;day to maintain its new appearance.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>What do the engineered quartz countertops cost?<\/strong>&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Quartz is a more affordable alternative to natural stone. Depending on the brand, a quartz countertop can cost between $60&nbsp;to $100 and beyond&nbsp;per square foot. Ultimately,&nbsp;the price will depend on a series of factors such as the design,&nbsp;color&nbsp;and delivery location.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Final Thoughts<\/strong>&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Purchasing a quartz countertop for your kitchen will enhance&nbsp;both&nbsp;your design&nbsp;and&nbsp;your daily productivity through easy maintenance. This material is carefully extracted and crafted to give you the most dependable product for your home.
