European Cabinets & Design studios stands by the quality and construction of Caesarstone, Silestone and Eurostone engineered quartz countertops. Quartz countertops are a mixture of at least 93% crushed naturally-occurring quartz stone and resin and can be manufactured in a variety of patterns and colors. It’s possible to minimize the appearance of seams in a quartz countertop (solid colors hide seams better than patterns), and quartz is stronger than both granite and marble and therefore more resistant to cracking and chipping. The material is non-porous and stain-resistant making quartz countertops virtually maintenance free—it can be cleaned with simple soap and water.
