Quartz Kitchen Counter Top are synthetic countertop materials made popular by brands such as Dupont and Cambria. This material is composed of pulverized waste rock plus resins for hardness and binding. Thus, quartz countertops are not solid slabs of quartz mineral but instead are an engineered stone product. Many quartz counters have antibacterial agents added. Quartz is rapidly overcoming solid-surface material as a convincing alternative to natural stone for countertops.

Prized for their high resale value and abundance of colors and styles, quartz countertops are more durable and less susceptible to scratching than solid surface countertops.

Quartz countertops are quite expensive—on par with natural granite. Quartz countertops are exceedingly heavy and must be installed only by experienced installers. There is no DIY option.
