Good to know about quartz

Natural quartz crystals bound with resin and pigment, pressed into slabs. Engineered, so the pattern is designed rather than found, and it repeats predictably across a whole kitchen.

Know this first Heat is the weak point, and it is the resin rather than the quartz. A pan straight off the hob can leave a dull mark or a scorch that does not come out, so a trivet is not optional. Prolonged direct sunlight can also shift the colour over years, which is why quartz is an indoor surface.

• Nothing soaks in. The surface is non-porous, so wine, oil and coffee sit on it. There is no sealer to apply and none to forget.
• What you choose is what arrives. Slabs are made to a recipe, so the worktop matches the one you chose and a second slab matches the first. That matters on a long run or an island plus a back run.
• Hard wearing. Quartz sits near the top of the hardness scale, so ordinary kitchen use does not dull it. Use a board anyway, to protect the knife.

Looking after it. Warm water and washing-up liquid. Nothing abrasive, nothing bleach-based, and a trivet under anything hot.
