why choose Quartz?

Quartz: The Ultimate Kitchen Surface Solution

Do you want a countertop that is as durable as granite but without the worry of sealing and maintenance? Quartz countertops (also known as engineered stone) are the answer. Quartz countertops are fabricated from sheets of material manufactured using a process that combines a specialized blend of 93% quartz “chip and dust” and 7% polyester resins and pigments. Quartz countertops are available in a wide range of colors featuring uniform crystal displays with an even distribution of color. Because engineered stone countertops don’t support the growth of bacteria, viruses, mold or mildew they are as easy to clean as they are durable.

Pros of Quartz

Durable

Quartz countertops stand out when it comes to durability. They won’t scratch, crack, or get chipped easily due to their ultra-durable nature. If you want a countertop material that can last for years or decades, you can count on quartz.

Non-Porous & Low Maintenance

A porous countertop material can harbor germs and bacteria in the pores, making it hard to disinfect and clean. Liquids can also seep into the countertop and stain it. The good news is that quartz countertops are non-porous and easy to maintain.

Stain Resistant

Since quartz countertops are non-porous, they are highly resistant to stains. Stains usually occur on countertops when a liquid spills on the surface and penetrates through the pores.

cons of Quartz

Heat Damage Susceptible

Although quartz itself is heat-resistant, the resin that holds quartz particles together is not. When you expose a quartz countertop to heat, the resin will melt, resulting in discoloration. So, you must not place hot cookware directly on the quartz countertop.

Indoor Use Only

Quartz countertops are only suitable for indoor use. When installed outdoors and exposed to direct sunlight, the UV rays from the sun will change the color of the countertops, making them look ugly. Use other materials for outdoor countertops.

what our clients say about our work!

I own 7 Day Kitchens in Charlotte. I have been working with Radim and his team at Waterfall Countertops for all our countertop and vanity projects in Charlotte for several years now. He is as honest as the day is long and takes his work and his commitment to his customers very seriously. We have worked on 20+ kitchen remodeling projects together over the last year and he always comes through. I strongly recommend Waterfall Countertops in Charlotte for your kitchen countertop and bathroom vanity top projects.

Radim's team at Waterfall Countertops did a stunning job installing our new Cambria quartz countertops and back splash in our Kitchen. Skillfully installed our new island and new the countertop on existing cabinets with the new pearl and marble tile back splash. Simply beautiful quality work from start to finish. Radim is very detailed in his preparation, prompt and responsive through entire process!

- Dee Pettit

I recently had a quartz countertop installed in my kitchen. It was a great process from start to finish. Communication was good, the job was completed in a timely manner and the end result looks great. A very nice gentleman came out to template and was very knowledgeable and thorough. The installers were on time, took care during the install and did a great job with the two seams. I can barely find the seams so I am very happy with that. I would absolutely recommend Waterfall Countertops and will use them again in the future.

- Cara Cortazzo

Radim and Waterfall Countertops was an absolute pleasure to work with on our kitchen project. He provided an in-depth consultation to help us make decisions, connected us with reputable suppliers for granite, tile and sink, and used high quality service providers for electrical, plumbing and tiling needs. He provided us with a timeline for the project and delivered as promised. Radim was flexible around our scheduling needs, a quick problem solver when unexpected situations occurred, a great communicator and a pleasure to have in our home. We could not be happier with the end results and would happily recommend him to others.
