Engineered Quartz Stone is a man-made material very resistant to cuts and shocks, besides it avoids bacterial growth on home surfaces
What are the characteristics of Quartz?
The main characteristics are its great resistance, design, non-porousness, weight, and versatility, being lighter and maneuverable than granite and marble, and it is cleaned simply with water and soap. It is resistant to wine and oil stains, unlike other stones such as granite and marble.
