Choosing the right surface material is one of the most important decisions in any home project. Whether you’re designing a luxury kitchen in Los Angeles, a spa-like bathroom in Miami, or a custom bar in Austin, you need a countertop that delivers on both beauty and performance. 

Quartz is an increasingly popular surface material for homeowners, designers, and builders and for good reason. If you love the look of natural stone but want something that’s low-maintenance, durable, and consistent, quartz offers the perfect balance. 

What Is Quartz and Why Is It a Great Choice?

Quartz is an engineered surface made from more than 90% crushed natural quartz, combined with resins and pigments. The result is a non-porous, durable surface that resists stains, scratches, and everyday wear. 

Unlike granite or marble, quartz doesn’t need to be sealed. It won’t absorb moisture, making it perfect for high use areas like: 

  • Kitchen countertops 
  • Bathroom vanities 
  • Laundry room surfaces 
  • Backsplashes and accent walls 
  • Bar tops and islands 

With quartz, you get the timeless elegance of natural stone with none of the hassle. 

Backed by Industry Innovation

At Architectural Surfaces, we take quartz to the next level. We’ve spent years building relationships with some of the world’s leading manufacturers, carefully selecting partners that combine technical expertise with design innovation. 

In 2024, we deepened these partnerships to ensure our customers get the very best. We work only with top producers who operate advanced facilities, use high quality raw materials, and push the boundaries of what quartz can look and feel like. 

Our collection includes designs that: 

  • Feature modern, minimal tones in whites, greys, and blacks 
  • Include unique veining and patterns only achievable through engineering 

These aren’t your basic countertops, these are designer surfaces made to elevate your space. 

Why Quartz Is Ideal for Everyday Living

Quartz isn’t just beautiful; it’s built for life. Whether you’re cooking for a big family, entertaining guests, or just trying to keep up with a busy household, quartz is a smart choice. 

Key Benefits of Quartz: 

  • Stain Resistant: Spills from wine, coffee, and citrus are no match. 
  • Scratch Resistant: Holds up well to knives, pots, and heavy use. 
  • Non-Porous: No sealing required ever. 
  • Easy to Clean: Just use soap and water or a gentle surface cleaner. 
  • Style Versatility: From traditional to contemporary, there’s a quartz look for every project. 

Plus, because quartz is man-made, it offers predictable patterns and colors ideal when you want consistency across multiple spaces or slabs.
