Quartz countertops have been storming the market for many sound reasons. Quartz comes in a wide variety of colors and patterns, is easy to maintain because it’s already perma-sealed during production, and is extraordinarily durable. It has the charm and class of natural stone, even though it is engineered.

Quartz kitchen countertops in South Carolina contain high concentrations of crushed quartz (silicon dioxide). And, in order to achieve desired colors and patterns, manufacturers of quartz add other minerals, resins, and pigments as well. Its versatility, durability, and ease of maintenance has made it extremely popular for homeowners looking for a unique countertop material in their kitchens.

An elegantly neutral quartz countertop color or kitchen island perfectly complements a bold color or pattern on a mosaic backsplash or tiled wall.

The neutral color scheme of quartz kitchen countertops in South Carolina also works well with modern preference for natural lighting from better windows or even skylights in the kitchen. Homeowners oftentimes find themselves balancing their need to integrate a color that is harmonious with the natural lighting of their kitchen, but simultaneously not bland.
