Quartz is one of the most popular choices for residential kitchen and bath countertops today. Products such as ColorQuartz are engineered to be exceptionally durable as well as scratch-, heat-, and stain-resistant. But the virtues of quartz surfacing are also now recognized by designers and architects in the medical construction realm as well, and are now a top choice in this sector too.

Paired with a crisp white accent color, blue is very New England…nautical and sophisticated. Combined with a bold lime green or bright pink, it’s very modern and hip. And alongside a cheery yellow or orange, it can even take on an exotic flair. Yes, blue is an extremely versatile color that works with almost every style of décor. High-quality quartz surfacing manufacturer, ColorQuartz offers a compelling shade of blue. Fashion Blue is a vivacious shade of blue that makes a statement on walls, trim, flooring, architectural details, countertops, vanities, and more.

Quartz surfacing has been steadily gaining market share over the past few years as architects, designers, and homeowners learn how much this material has to offer. Unlike 100-percent natural surfacing such as marble or granite, quartz is chemical, stain, chip, and crack resistant. It’s non-porous and never needs sealing, plus manufacturing processes have come a long way.

When white is what you want, there’s more to choose from than just marble. Made of 93-percent natural quartz, ColorQuartz is a great option. Engineered to be exceptionally durable, scratch, heat, and stain resistant, ColorQuartz is a sensible, functional and beautiful alternative.

We’re stone and surfacing experts, not interior designers. However, our customers commonly ask us for suggestions when it comes to cabinetry and countertop color combinations. So we make it a priority to know the latest color and style trends so that we can make sensible suggestions that give our clients the beautiful end results they desire. One surface we’ve recently had fun “color matching” is ColorQuartz in French Tan.

A long time ago, in a galaxy far, far away, to get a surface like this, you’d have to search high and low, sifting through slabs of jet-black natural stone for one with just the right amount of sparkle. Luckily today quartz manufacturers like ColorQuartz make it easy to get surfacing in dramatic colors with interesting patterns or shimmering particulate.

Looking for fresh color ideas to keep your projects current? Consider one of the many shades of white available in surfacing today. And if you love the look of white countertops, but aren’t necessarily in the market for marble or white granite, ColorQuartz is a great option.

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.

Here at Marble and Granite, Inc., we’re exceptionally proud to be New England’s only distributor of ColorQuartz® Stone surfaces. And we’re excited to share with you all of the reasons that we love this product.
