Quartz Countertops

Quartz countertops combine the beauty of natural stone with the technological advancements of modern science. An engineered stone, quartz countertops are made from 93% quartz, pigment, and resin to create an attractive, durable, low maintenance material. Like granite countertops, quartz is heat and scratch resistant, but unlike granite, quartz countertops never have to be sealed!

Quartz countertops are one of our specialties at Bostonian Design Group. We offer several different brands including Caesarstone and Silestone countertops and hundreds of colors and patterns. We recommend quartz for any countertop installation, including kitchens, bathrooms, wet bars, tub surrounds, outdoor kitchens, even commercial display counters. With over 25 years of experience, Bostonian Design Group has the know-how to competently and efficiently install your attractive quartz countertop. If you're ready to enhance your home or office with the beautiful look of quartz, we're perfect for the job!

We invite you to visit our showroom in Peabody for your free estimate and to learn more about quartz kitchen countertops. The Bostonian Design Group sales team is on hand at our showroom to display samples and answer questions, but if you'd prefer to start your research online, here are a few of the benefits and drawbacks of engineered quartz counters for you to consider.

Advantages

• Quartz countertops are a truly low maintenance stone counter material. They do not need to be sealed and are almost totally scratch resistant.
• Because quartz countertops are man-made, they have a consistent color and uniform pattern. Although some homeowners consider this a disadvantage, many prefer the uniform look of quartz. It also means that if part of your countertop is damaged, matching a replacement section won't be an issue.

Disadvantages

• Engineered quartz countertops usually cost about the same amount as granite countertops, but they do not add nearly the same value to your home. Buyers tend to value natural stone countertops more than quartz, so you'll want to consider this if you're thinking about installing quartz as an investment.
• Quartz countertop manufacturers strive to create natural looking textures and patterns, but some people think quartz lacks the depth and uniqueness of granite countertops. Obviously, this is an issue of preference, but you'll want to compare samples of natural stone and quartz in the Bostonian Design Group showroom to determine which look you prefer.
• Color options are more limited with quartz countertops than with natural stone countertops like marble and granite. More and more colors of quartz are available every day, but some people do prefer the limitless rainbow of natural stone colors.
