Quartz vs Onyx | Countertop Comparison

Описание: Quartz and onyx are fairly different materials in terms of composition, style and durability, however, both can be fantastic countertops depending on the given project.

Quartz is one of the best-engineered materials available for countertop projects in areas that are not appropriate for natural stones for one reason or another, whether it be a children’s bathroom, changing room, or business on a budget.

Quartz is an engineered stone, meaning that it is manmade from natural quartz minerals. Slabs of quartz used for countertops contain about 93% crushed quartz combined with about 7% polyester resin, which is a synthetic material. Quartz stones have consistent patterns, and can come in a wide variety of colors, patterns and textures. Since quartz is man-made, it is completely non-porous meaning that the stone will never stain, and the consistent patterns make it easier to hide seams, which is great for large areas. The stone is also highly durable, and is great for high traffic areas. Marble.com carries quartz that is made by a variety of popular companies, such as Caesarstone, Quantra, and Santa Margherita.

Onyx is a unique and exotic stone that is sure to make a breathtaking impression. Its stunning appearance, which features rich parallel layers with contrasting shades are naturally formed over the course of thousands of years. It has a remarkable one-of-a-kind style. The lavish beauty of Onyx caught the attention of civilizations dating back to the ancient Egyptians, and Greeks, who utilized the natural beauty of Onyx for making jewelry and extraordinary cravings.

A special feature that certain Onyxes have is its ability to be backlit because of their translucency. This is a fairly inexpensive process that truly allows the stone to exhibit its pure beauty and makes it the focal point of any room. Onyx is best used in low trafficked areas, such as home bars. In a retail setting, we recommend it to be used merely as an artistic accessory.
