What Is Halifax Quartz

The percentage varies by manufacturer but is usually around 90 percent ground quartz (a natural hard mineral) with eight to 10 percent resins, polymers, and pigments.

Because Halifax quartz countertops are a manufactured material, they do not require sealing and are very resistant to staining. Also, being man made, allows for the color and pattern to be very consistent. Although some people prefer the random patterns and color changes that natural stone offers, many want the more uniform scheme that Halifax quartz provides. This also allows for easier matching of seams or later additions where the color consistency of Halifax quartz would be a benefit.
