Frequently Asked Questions

Request a Free QuoteWhat is quartz and how is it made?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.
Are quartz countertops heat and scratch-resistant?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.
How do I clean and maintain quartz?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
"I can’t say enough great things about Cosmos! From initial meeting to installation, every step was handled with excellent communication and attention to detail. What I appreciated most was their honesty about design and installation details. This helped me to make informed decisions and I was welcome to be involved in every step of the process. As we chose marble for our project, I was grateful to have a chance to give input on parts of the natural material I wanted to avoid. The finished product is stunning!"
