Quartz Surrounds & Backsplashes

Using Quartz for other purposes in your home beyond just countertops is a great idea. The non-porous, sealed qualities of engineered stone are perfect for areas like bathrooms.

When you’re considering the use of quartz anywhere in your home, keep in mind that its low maintenance requirements can be a real time saver.

It’s easier to care for than tile or many other substances you’ve seen used. Let’s go over some key questions that we are asked.

Quartz vs Tile

The fact that Quartz is manufactured in slabs means that it can be installed on your shower walls without using any grout. This gives it a huge advantage over tiles in a space that stays wet and damp for long periods of time.

As you know, grout can mold, and removing it has become an industry on its own. Quartz will not only keep grout out of your shower or tub area, it will also help keep the whole space cleaner.

Can I Get the Same Look as Granite with Quartz?

Seeing natural stone on a wall or vertical surface can be a lot of look, but you don’t have to use a granite pattern. Since Quartz is an engineered stone, it can be used to make a product that has any number of patterns and even colors.

You don’t have to go with the standard marble or granite stone style - and you’ll still get all the benefits of low maintenance, easy cleaning, and durability.

Is Quartz Right for a Shower Surround?

Even in the harsher environment of a shower, Quartz will continue to look great without the need to re-apply sealers or other special care. As a matter of fact, it does best when you use non-abrasive cleaners and avoid anything harsh.

Most of the time, it can be wiped clean with warm water and a sponge - which makes it quite easy to take care of on a shower surround.

The way Quartz is manufactured makes it naturally waterproof and antibacterial - it’s already sealed, and will stay sealed.

Where Else Can I Use Quartz?

Quartz can be fabricated to fit in all kinds of areas, such as fireplace surrounds, backsplashes, and even accent walls.
