Engineered Quartz at a Glance
Engineered quartz: premium surfaces from 10+ brands
Engineered quartz pioneered the modern countertop category nearly four decades ago, combining natural quartz with advanced manufacturing to deliver surfaces that never need sealing and last a lifetime.
Founded in 1987 in Sdot Yam, Israel, engineered quartz has grown into one of the world’s most recognized quartz surface brands. Their engineered quartz is made primarily from natural quartz, one of the hardest minerals on earth, combined with pigments and polymer resins under intense vibro-compression and kiln curing. The result is a non-porous, scratch-resistant, stain-resistant surface backed by a lifetime residential warranty.
With 500+ colors across premium tiers (Caesarstone, Cambria, Silestone) and value tiers (MSI Q, Vicostone, Q-Premium Natural), engineered quartz offers everything from clean whites and marble looks to bold industrials and warm organics. Several brands now offer crystalline silica-free formulations: surfaces made with up to 85% recycled content. At Absolute GM we fabricate every quartz slab for Seattle homeowners in our own shop using STONEEX digital templating and CNC equipment, ensuring sub-millimeter accuracy from template to installation.
