Frequently Asked Questions
Find answers to the most common questions about our quartz countertops here.
Quartz countertops are an engineered stone product made primarily from crushed natural quartz crystals, one of the hardest minerals on Earth. These crystals are mixed with a small amount of resins, polymers, and pigments, and then pressed into slabs. This manufacturing process creates a non-porous, highly durable, and beautiful surface that is more consistent and stain-resistant than natural stone.
Quartz is extremely durable and resistant to scratches, thanks to the hardness of the natural quartz it contains. However, it is not impervious to damage. While it can handle everyday heat, it’s not as heat-resistant as granite. We recommend always using a trivet or hot pad under hot pans, as extreme heat can scorch the resin in the countertop and cause permanent discoloration.
Maintaining quartz countertops is incredibly easy due to their non-porous nature. For daily cleaning, simply wipe the surface with a soft cloth and mild soap and water. Avoid using harsh, abrasive cleaners or scouring pads, as these can dull the finish. Since quartz is non-porous, it never needs to be sealed, making maintenance a breeze.
What our Customers are Saying
"We used True Blue for the countertops in our complete kitchen renovation. They were super great to work with. We wanted a remnant for our island and picked one out at their stone yard. The installation was excellent, and they even caught a size issue we had with our sink before they showed up to avoid delays. I don't have photos of the completed kitchen, but here are a few in progress photos."

"Tom was great to work with in the office. The installers did a great job!
They were friendly, respectful and cleaned up nicely afterwards. The install time was way quicker than I thought it would be.
I totally recommend True Blue Surfaces"
