What Is Black Quartz?

Black quartz is a premium surface material made from engineered quartz stone, composed of over 90% natural quartz crystals mixed with resins and pigments. Unlike natural stone, black quartz slabs are non-porous, stain resistant, and scratch resistant, making them ideal for low maintenance kitchen surfaces.

Thanks to their durability and stylish appearance, black quartz countertops are widely used in modular kitchens and premium interiors across India. With a high quartz material hardness rating (around 7 on the Mohs scale), they outperform many natural stones in daily kitchen use.
