Where quartz could not improve on natures beauty and character in granite surfaces, it improves on durability, flexibility, colour consistency and ease of maintenance. If you want the sophistication of a stone worktop but not the natural variations inherent in granite then quartz is the choice for you.
Quartz is increasing in popularity as a worktop material in contemporary design and once you've seen it in situ it's no surprise. See our quartz samples page and our quartz gallery shows a few of them fitted.
