High-end brands of engineered countertops usually cost $100 to $150 per square foot or even higher. High-end brands usually use higher-quality quartz, have more sophisticated craftsmanship, and provide customized services, which are suitable for consumers who pursue high quality and unique designs.

The thickness of engineered stone countertops usually varies according to usage requirements, design style and installation environment. Common thicknesses range from 12 millimeters (mm) to 30 mm, with different thicknesses bringing different physical properties and aesthetic effects.

The most critical component in artificial stone countertops, usually accounting for more than 90% of the total material. As the second hardest mineral on earth, quartz has strong scratch resistance and durability. The hardness of quartz is 7 (Mohs hardness), which makes artificial stone countertops have a certain scratch resistance.

The production process of quartz countertops fully meets the definition of engineered stone. It combines natural quartz with resin through artificial processing, and forms a building material with consistency and stability after pressing and curing.

Quartz is a kind of artificial stone made of a mixture of natural quartz powder and resin. Because its surface is dense and not easy to penetrate liquids and stains, it usually does not need to be sealed.
