Quartz is the most abundant mineral found on the earth's
crust. It's also one of the hardest and most dense. For some
perspective on quartz' hardness, it is harder than granite.
It is a common misconception that most quartz tile that is
on the market is natural stone. In reality, most quartz is
found in pieces that are too small for tile. This same fact
applies to quartz countertops, which are man-made using
quartz pieces and binding resins.
As you may expect, this combination of nature and man-made ingenuity creates a wonderful color palette. The hue-varied minerals found in quartz tiles provide for a dazzling array of color and, as a result, you have a myriad of options to choose from. One of the unique things about quartz tile is that there are varying degrees of natural vs engineered, meaning that you can get tiles that contain more natural characteristics, or tiles that are more synthetic. As a result, light or dark, modern or vintage, you can pursue any kitchen design theme of your choice.
Consider This
Engineered quartz tile does not require any sealing since the resins used to bind the stones contain built-in protective substances.
Color consistency is a big plus of quartz tiles. As long as they're on the market, you will definitely be able to find more of the quartz tiles you seek. Unlike natural stone tile, it's a simple matter of making more of the color you seek.
