Quartz Counter Tops
R.L. Peterson Construction also offers Quartz countertops from several distributors. Because we fabricate and install these materials "in house" we are able to guarantee the best value and quality of service available in the DFW Area.
Natural quartz surfacing is made from 100% natural quartz cut from blocks into slabs. The slabs are then custom cut to create countertops.
Engineered quartz surfacing is made from approximately 95% natural quartz and 5% polymer resins. Countertops are custom made and are more scratch resistant as well as less porous than natural quartz surfaces and also come in a wider variety of colors and patterns.
But why pick a Quartz product over Granite? Well...despite the hype the fact is that it comes down to personal preference. For some granite enjoys a greater “prestige” due to its natural uniqueness and is therefore of greater value in the minds of most homeowners and buyers. New granites come on the market all the time from different countries providing hundreds and possibly thousands of different colors and patterns to choose from. On the other hand, Quartz and other engineered stone manufacturers offer 20-50 color choices all of which have basically the same repetitive pebbled appearance. The benefit here is that you never have a problem matching a pattern or color at a seam, which sometimes is a problem with granite. Of course, you may end up with the exact same countertop as your neighbor, which won’t happen with granite as each slab is unique.
So, whether you choose engineered stone or granite you will get an excellent countertop surface. Just don’t listen to all the marketing hype and pick your product based on what color and pattern you like best. In either case, please contact R.L.
