Engineered stone originated in 1963, developed by the Italian company Breton. This technology is now licensed worldwide and used by more than 50 manufacturers. My Kitchen Worktop maintains rigorous quality control, inspecting materials carefully before production begins. The manufacturing process involves crushing raw quartz, mixing it with polymer resins, and blending it thoroughly. Multiple colours and designs are achievable through customized mixing processes.
Quartz Durability Compared to Other Materials
Quartz scores a 7 out of 10 on the Mohs Hardness Scale, making it one of the toughest countertop materials available, surpassed only by diamond, sapphire, and topaz. Its remarkable durability means quartz resists scratches, chips, and everyday wear significantly better than marble, granite, or hardwood.
Maintenance is simple—cleaning quartz worktops requires only a damp cloth and mild detergent. Unlike natural stone, quartz does not need annual sealing and is resistant to stains and scratches. Whether dealing with kitchen spills or hot cookware, quartz worktops handle daily kitchen challenges with ease.
