While durable, quartz can be susceptible to damage from extreme heat, potentially causing discoloration or cracking. It's also a non-porous material, which means spills don't penetrate, but it can be more prone to staining from certain chemicals. We advise on proper care to maintain its appearance in your Washington kitchen.
