Quartz Countertop Project in Birmingham, AL

Project Backstory

The homeowners of this new construction project wanted a bold, dramatic kitchen design that would truly stand out. They selected rich black quartz for the perimeter countertops, paired with a sleek stainless steel apron sink to create a clean and modern foundation. For added impact, the island and full-height backsplashes showcase a striking black-and-white quartz pattern that instantly becomes the focal point of the space.

Altogether, this project highlights how quartz countertops can bring both durability and personality to a kitchen. The deep black surfaces contrast beautifully with the bold patterned design, blending modern sophistication with everyday functionality. The result is a show-stopping kitchen that’s as stylish as it is practical—perfect for family life and entertaining alike!

Frequently Asked Questions

Find answers to the most common questions about our quartz countertops here.

Yes! Quartz countertops are one of the most durable options for busy kitchens. Made from about 90% ground quartz mixed with resins and pigments, they resist scratches, stains, and bacteria. Unlike natural stone, quartz is non-porous, meaning liquids won’t seep in, and daily messes clean up easily with mild soap and water.

No. Unlike granite or marble, quartz never needs sealing. The resins in quartz surfaces create a built-in seal, making them non-porous and highly resistant to moisture and bacteria. Homeowners love quartz because it combines style with low maintenance—just wipe with a soft cloth and gentle cleaner for a like-new shine.

Quartz is heat resistant, but it’s best to protect your counters from direct high heat. While everyday use like setting down a warm plate or coffee mug won’t cause damage, placing very hot pans directly on the surface could leave burn marks due to the resin content. Using trivets or hot pads will help keep your quartz countertops looking their best for years.
