Two Bangkok Townhouses Become One With a Cage-Like Fence for Privacy. Why Quartz Cuts an Impressive Countertop. Crafted from one of the strongest minerals on earth, there's a reason why quartz surfaces have risen to cult-like status among design choices for cladding kitchens and bathrooms. Resistant to stains, scratches, and cracks, as well as heat, cold, and even common household chemicals, the engineered surface is ideal for the day-to-day.

While it has the same tactile qualities of natural stone, quartz countertops are a blend of natural quartz aggregates with colorful pigments and polymer resins. It's an art that Caesarstone has been perfecting since 1987.
