are engineered stone surfaces made from a blend of natural quartz crystals and resins. They are popular for their durability, aesthetics, and low maintenance. Here are the key points about quartz countertops:

• Heat Resistance: Can handle heat but should avoid direct contact with hot pans.
• Low Maintenance: Requires no sealing; just regular cleaning with mild soap and water.

Aesthetics

• Consistency: Offers a uniform look without the natural variations found in natural stones.

Installation

• Professional Installation: Recommended due to the weight and need for precise fitting and cutting.
