Quartz

Quartz is a manmade surface created by combining natural minerals with resins and pigments. This manufacturing process results in a versatile, durable material ideal for kitchen use. At Granite Planet, our high quality quartz mimics the appearance of natural stone while offering greater consistency in colour and pattern.

non-porous

Durability

Quartz is a premium engineered stone designed to endure the daily wear and tear of even the busiest households. Unlike natural materials such as granite and marble, quartz is non-porous, meaning it won’t absorb liquids, harbour bacteria, or stain easily -making it an ideal choice for kitchens where hygiene and cleanliness are essential. Its superior resistance to scratches, heat, and impact ensures long-lasting beauty with minimal upkeep.

At Granite Planet, we offer a wide selection of high-quality quartz surfaces available in a variety of colours, patterns, and finishes to suit any style. Whether you’re renovating your home or building a new kitchen, our quartz worktops provide a practical, durable, and stylish solution that combines elegance with everyday functionality.
