Belenco Quartz
One popular quartz countertop material is Belenco Quartz. This material is a hygienic state-of-the-art surface that is durable due to it's non-porous texture. It requires minimum maintenance and is highly resistant to scratches, and abrasions.
Granite is an all natural material that is quarried from the Earth. After it is taken out of the ground, it is sliced into sheets and prepared for use. Belenco Quartz is an engineered material made by combining natural quartz, resin and coloring pigments to produce a crafted stone countertop. These materials share some common characteristics. For example, they are both very hard and will resist scratching. Another similarity between Belenco Quartz and granite is that neither material is stain proof. So, it is important that you get use and care instruction from your fabrication professional or the installer.
Just as quartz and granite share some qualities, they also are different in various ways. Granite is a material that is porous. This means that it
may need some extra care and maintenance. One type of care that is needed when it comes to granite is periodic sealing. Belenco Quartz is non porous and does not require sealing or polishing. Another difference between these materials is that granite comes in a virtually infinite number of colors and patterns. Each stone is 100% unique from every other stone. Belenco Quartz is limited to the colors and patterns that are currently available by the company.
