An Overview of Quartz Countertops
Before diving into the specific brands and styles carried by Floor & Decor, it’s helpful to understand what makes quartz such a popular countertop choice.
Quartz countertops are engineered from natural quartz crystals blended with resins and pigments. This combination makes quartz an extremely hard, non-porous, and scratch-resistant surface. Unlike natural stone, quartz does not need to be sealed and is highly resistant to stains.
Some key advantages of quartz countertops:
- Extremely durable and low-maintenance
- Resistant to scratches, stains, heat, and bacteria
- Available in a wide variety of colors and patterns
- Does not need regular sealing like natural stone
- Can be fabricated into seamless surfaces
Quartz offers the look of high-end natural stone with increased durability and less maintenance. No wonder it has become such a sought-after countertop material!

How to Select Quartz for Your Space
Choosing the perfect quartz ultimately comes down to your personal style, budget, and functional needs. Here are some tips for selecting the best quartz countertop for your kitchen or bath:
- Consider the look you want and colors that fit your overall design vision. View quartz samples in person to get a feel for the true color and pattern.
- Think about the look of other surfaces in your space, like cabinetry and backsplashes, and look for coordinating or contrasting quartz colors.
- Factor in how the space will be used. Opt for darker, bolder patterns in low-traffic areas and lighter solid colors for heavy-use spaces.
- Measure your space carefully to determine how much quartz you need. Be sure to account for seams and ordering extra for overhangs.
- Set an overall budget and get quotes for installing different quartz options that appeal to you. Prices can vary based on brand, color, and edge treatments.
- Consider the warranty. Opt for brands that provide at least 10+ years of warranty coverage.
Caring for Your Quartz Countertops
Once installed, quartz countertops are relatively easy to maintain:
- For everyday cleaning, wipe down your quartz with a soft, damp cloth or sponge using mild soap and water. Avoid abrasive cleaners.
- Disinfect surfaces with hydrogen peroxide, rubbing alcohol, or ammonia-free glass cleaner.
- Blot up spills immediately to prevent stains, especially from oils, vinegars, citrus juices, and dyes.
- Avoid exposing your quartz to strong chemicals like paint removers, oven cleaners, etc.
- Use cutting boards and trivets for hot pots/pans to prevent thermal shock.
- Reseal seams and polished edges every 1-2 years with a quartz-safe sealer.
With proper care, your quartz countertops should stay beautiful for decades! Follow the manufacturer’s care guidelines for your specific product.
