Frequently Asked Questions

Find answers to the most common questions about our quartz countertops here.

What is quartz and how is it made?

Quartz countertops are an engineered stone product made primarily from crushed natural quartz crystals, one of the hardest minerals on Earth. These crystals are mixed with a small amount of resins, polymers, and pigments, and then pressed into slabs. This manufacturing process creates a non-porous, highly durable, and beautiful surface that is more consistent and stain-resistant than natural stone.

Are quartz countertops heat and scratch-resistant?

Quartz is extremely durable and resistant to scratches, thanks to the hardness of the natural quartz it contains. However, it is not impervious to damage. While it can handle everyday heat, it’s not as heat-resistant as granite. We recommend always using a trivet or hot pad under hot pans, as extreme heat can scorch the resin in the countertop and cause permanent discoloration.

How do I clean and maintain quartz?

Maintaining quartz countertops is incredibly easy due to their non-porous nature. For daily cleaning, simply wipe the surface with a soft cloth and mild soap and water. Avoid using harsh, abrasive cleaners or scouring pads, as these can dull the finish. Since quartz is non-porous, it never needs to be sealed, making maintenance a breeze.

What our Customers are Saying

"I was very impressed with the quality of work that Wallstone provided. A different company had installed granite in my kitchen 8 years ago. The seam was put over my dishwasher without any support. Over time, the granite shifted so it was no longer even. My sink also needed to be removed and properly installed. Ben added steel supports under the granite, leveled the counter and reapplied epoxy to the seam. Alejandro removed my sink, cleaned the surface and then properly installed the sink. A silicone seal was then applied. Both gentlemen were confident with craftmanship. They were friendly, efficient and did excellent work! I would highly recommend Wallstone!!!"
