Quartz is a manmade composite product comprising typically by weight 93%-94% natural quartz and 6%-7% polymer resin and colouring pigments, where the resin bonding agents help to maintain a uniform and consistent colour and pattern. This makes it well suited to both modern, streamlined kitchens and also more traditional kitchens.

Whilst one of the main features of natural stone is a variation in tone and veining, composite quartz stones offer most of the qualities of natural stone but have a consistency of colour that does not occur naturally. This lends quartz stones a higher uniformity of look. Quartz stones are available in a wide colour range, and have in recent years become more popular due to their hygienic, low maintenance and particularly hard-wearing qualities.
