Quartz countertops are popular in kitchens, bathrooms, and other home applications all over the world. There are many excellent reasons to choose quartz countertops.

They’re extremely tough and durable and are resistant to scratching, heat, and other types of damage. And despite being one of the toughest options for countertops out there, they’re extremely lightweight compared to natural stone countertops.

The secret is in quartz’s composition. Unlike granite countertops or marble countertops, quartz countertops are made of engineered stone. They’re made of about 90% powdered quartz and 10% resins, polymers, and pigments.

It’s this construction that makes quartz weigh less and maintain untold strength. It also means that quartz doesn’t need sealing to keep out water and avoid damage, and that quartz countertops can stand up to all kinds of chemicals and cleaners.

But did you know that quartz is also available in more colors than any natural stone countertop? Manufacturers can add many different pigments in many different patterns to create gorgeous recreations of natural patterns or fantastic swirls and swoops that look like nothing in nature.

There are bold color palettes to suit every aesthetic, and at Olympia Stone, we’re proud to provide homeowners and builders alike access to some of the most beautiful quartz on the market. Let’s take a look at some of these impressive patterns!
