Frequently Asked Questions
Find answers to the most common questions about our quartz countertops here.
Quartz countertops are an engineered stone product made primarily from crushed natural quartz crystals, one of the hardest minerals on Earth. These crystals are mixed with a small amount of resins, polymers, and pigments, and then pressed into slabs. This manufacturing process creates a non-porous, highly durable, and beautiful surface that is more consistent and stain-resistant than natural stone.
Quartz is extremely durable and resistant to scratches, thanks to the hardness of the natural quartz it contains. However, it is not impervious to damage. While it can handle everyday heat, it’s not as heat-resistant as granite. We recommend always using a trivet or hot pad under hot pans, as extreme heat can scorch the resin in the countertop and cause permanent discoloration.
Maintaining quartz countertops is incredibly easy due to their non-porous nature. For daily cleaning, simply wipe the surface with a soft cloth and mild soap and water. Avoid using harsh, abrasive cleaners or scouring pads, as these can dull the finish. Since quartz is non-porous, it never needs to be sealed, making maintenance a breeze.
What our Customers are Saying
"This is the second time we have used Rock-It Surfaces for new countertops and this company does not disappoint. We were happy with the process from the beginning selection (many wonderful choices) to the final installation. The attention to detail and quality of the work was outstanding. Also, the Quartz extra-large slab we chose resulted in no visible seams which was really surprising to us. They installers were professional and extremely meticulous in their work. Rock-it installed our new countertops in 2 bathrooms and our kitchen in one day and we are thrilled with the results. We highly recommend Rock-It surfaces."

"As an interior designer, I went to several places to find stone for our own countertop remodel. I decided to go with Rock-It as they not only had the stone we wanted but also do their own fabrication and install which is amazing and much more cost effective. It also helps to go to a one stop shop that provides great customer service. The install was smooth and Rock It was great to work with as I asked for a few out of the ordinary details in which they delivered with a smile!! Highly recommend!"
