Quartz is a crystalline mineral that has been around for millions of years. But it wasn’t until 1987 that it became available as a surface for kitchen counters. In that year, researchers at a kibbutz in Israel developed and marketed the first engineered quartz countertop with the launch of Caeserstone. Several other companies followed Caesarstone. Today, the three best quartz companies are Cambria, Silestone, and, of course, Caeserstone.

Designers around the world consider these three to be the best quartz companies. Ventura Stone is an authorized dealer for all three of these three top brands. We help you decide what’s best for your home renovation. Then we fabricate and install the perfect quartz surfaces for you. 

Here, we’ll compare each of these brands based on their designs, textures, sizes, and warranties. But first, we’ll explain exactly what an engineered quartz surface is and why it’s one of the best surfaces for your home.

What Is Quartz and What Are Its Advantages?

Quartz is a naturally occurring mineral that wouldn’t be ideal for counter surfaces without some special engineering. Quartz surfaces are approximately 95% natural quartz mixed with polymer resins. It’s this mixture that makes quartz an ideal surface for home renovations. 

It surprises many people to learn that engineered quartz is actually harder than granite, making it an extremely durable material. That means you won’t need to worry about scratches or stains.

Quartz surfaces are non-porous, meaning it’s naturally anti-microbial. And quartz surfaces are easy to clean. You don’t need harsh chemicals to clean these surfaces — just a little soap and water. One of the best features of engineered surfaces is the manufacturing process, which allows the creation of a variety of colors, styles, and textures. 

Why Are Cambria Surfaces Considered Among California’s Best Quartz Company Countertops?

Cambria is an American quartz  company with its main facility in Minnesota. Cambria has some really innovative textures like its waves offerings, which mimic the look of natural marble for a stunning contemporary feel.

Cambria offers the same thickness options as the other manufacturers — 1.2 cm, 2 cm, and 3 cm. These sizes correspond to 1/2-inch, 3/4-inch, and 1-3/16 inches. Cambria also sells a unique super-thin slab that’s only 6 mm thick, which roughly corresponds to 1/4-inch. For sizes, Cambria has offerings as large as 80" x 136".

Cambria slabs come with a transferrable full lifetime warranty against manufacturing defects.

What Sets Silestone Apart From Other Quartz Makers?

Silestone offers an impressive palette of both light and dark tones, with subtle veining in some of their slabs adding even more depth. Silestone has many textures, like leathery and suede-like patterns for an extra layer of dimension in any room. Silestone provides slab sizes up to 63" x 128”.

Silestone provides an impressive 25-year transferrable warranty. 

Caesarstone Invented Quartz Countertops And Is Still Considered One of the Best

Caesarstone is an Israeli company with manufacturing facilities in America. Caesarstone has a stunning selection of hues that range from warm neutrals like beige and taupe to bolder shades like reds and purples. It provides an array of surfaces with everything from soft matte finishes to smooth and glossy options. Caesarstone sells slabs up to 65" x 132".
