Quartz is a fantastic and practical choice for just about any surface and virtually any setting, from hospitality and commercial projects to residential. Made of 93 percent natural quartz, ColorQuartz is the brand we recommend for countertops, floors, wet bars, walls, vanities, showers, tub surrounds, and even furniture. It’s exceptionally durable, highly scratch, heat and stain resistant, low-maintenance, and non-porous. Here are Marble and Granite’s top five reasons we recommend ColorQuartz…

Grey is “the” top color in design and interiors this year. Quartz is the fastest growing surfacing material on the market. Put the two together and you’ve got a sleek, sophisticated surface that’s a great backdrop for any style of décor.

You’ve heard us say before that Quartz surfacing is more than just a passing fad. As building professionals and homeowners learn more about this remarkable material, its popularity is expanding exponentially. In fact, it’s one of the most popular countertop materials used today, second only to granite. In a recent study by Consumer Reports, Quartz came out ahead over 14 other materials tested, proving that it can hold its own against the competition.

Granite and marble may get all of the attention for having vivid veining and striking striations, but today’s quartz surfacing offers some pretty exciting choices too.

A lot of our residential customers want to know “why quartz?” They often ask us: What makes this material so special and why is it the basis for so many brands of surfacing materials? The answer is quite simple…durability and abundance.

ColorQuartz may not yet be a household brand name, but at Marble & Granite, Inc., we’re confident that as you learn more about this dynamic material, you’ll agree that it's a great choice for all of your quartz surfacing needs. Here’s a little bit of history about the company to help you understand our choice to bring ColorQuartz to the New England market.
