Quartz countertops Montreal, Laval and Laurentides
Quartz is the most common material on the continental crust. Quartz countertops are a man-made surface combining natural quartz mixed with a binding resin and colored dyes that are perfect for your kitchen and bathroom. This process forms a very hard and durable surface that is similar to granite in look, feel and performance. Since it technically isn’t 100% stone, it is often referred to as “engineered” quartz or composite stone. However, this is definitely not a synthetic countertop. In fact, quartz is the hardest non-precious stone that can be found in the earth's surface.
Granite au Sommet only offer quartz of top quality from leading quartz manufacturers: Silestone (25 years residential warranty), Caesarstone (lifetime warranty), low-cost Zenith, Vicostone and Hanstone. All of them are certified NSF 51 and Greenguard.
Characteristics of Quartz Counter Tops:
Maintenance-free, Non-Porous stone. Daily maintenance is warm water & soft cloth.
Some quartz has an anti-bacterial agent added (Silestone by Consentino).
Easily cleaned. (Warm water & a paper towel/soft cloth)
Quartz comes in various designs, but unlike granite - which has natural variations - the patterns of quartz are fixed. What you see is exactly what you get!
Colors tend toward a natural palette and choice usually depends on the cabinets.

They’re easy to maintain and there's no need for special cleaners. The non-porous quality of the surfaces means they don’t need to be sealed. Also the potential for bacterial growth is reduced. Quartz is an engineered stone that is made from 93% quartz and 7% resins and pigments. Polymer additives increase strength and countertop life. The flexibility to isolate pigments lets the manufacturer create a diverse range of incredibly consistent solid tones, as well as distinctive veined color schemes, blends, speckles or other patterns; with options ranging from traditional to contemporary.
Eco friendly and seamless, quartz's non-porous nature provides maximum resistance to staining and fully eliminates the need for any sealing. Quartz countertops are easy to clean using a non abrasive cleaner. The non-porous quality of the surface also greatly reduces the potential for bacterial growth.
Natural quartz surface that looks, feels and weighs like granite, but with a shimmering uniqueness because of quartz crystals that are embedded into the material. The natural quartz radiates depth, dazzling clarity and the cool, solid feel that is unique to natural stone.
