Current Obsessions: A Modern Makeover With Quartz Countertops

Trending now for kitchen and bathroom décor are quartz countertops. Unlike granite and marble, which is mined from nature, quartz is an engineered stone that allows for you to have the beauty of a magnificent stone slab countertop but with the amazing durability needed for hard working areas such as those found in the kitchen. These stone slabs are a blend of approximately 94-percent quartz with polyester resins to bind and fortify the slab making it nonporous and resistant to scratches. With the combination of advanced technology and a wide selection of quartz countertop colors, using quartz for your home is the clear choice to give your home a modern makeover. Whether you are seeking a sleek look in white, beige or gray, MSI's Q Premium Natural Quartz will provide the contemporary look you crave.
