Quartz slabs are available in 2cm (3/4″) and 3cm (1 1/4″) thicknesses. Most often, standard size slabs are 119” x 56” and Jumbo or XL slabs are 127″ x 64″.

2cm is most often laminated or mitered at the edges to appear thicker and requires a plywood sub-top to be installed underneath.

3cm is most commonly installed without being laminated to appear thicker. It is installed directly on top of your cabinets without the need for plywood.

Ask your fabricator which one is best for your specific application.

Quartz is manufactured for countertops using the most advanced and latest technology. It is a composite of natural quartz, one of the most abundant and hardest minerals on the planet, and pigments that are bound with high quality polymer resins. Quartz is a solid nonporous surface product that is resistant to scratches, stains, and water, making it an extremely easy surface to keep clean and looking great.

Although Quartz is extremely scratch resistant, it is not scratch proof. We do not recommend cutting or chopping directly on your countertop. We recommend to always use a cutting board.

Though Quartz handles heat far better than other countertop materials, we always recommend using a hot pad or trivet when setting down hot objects such as pans or dishes. Direct contact with extremely high heat can cause damage to your Quartz surface.

These chemicals may etch or dull the finish.
