There is no denying that Quartz is a durable product. Stain-resistant, heat-resistant and since it’s an engineered product, it is more consistent and less likely to chip. Naturally, there is no sealing required and that is also a big selling point. However, it is not a product without its faults.
While Quartz is heat-resistant, extreme and sustained heat or cold can lead to warping, cracking, and discolouration, which is not easily repaired. Quartz should also not be installed near large windows where it is exposed to sunlight for hours on end as the sun can impact Quartz’s overall appearance.
Quartz is not recommended for fireplace surrounds and for any outdoor use. Those functions are best reserved for natural stone like granite which is unaffected by high temperatures or prolonged sun exposure.
