Quartz is offered in several finishes including polished, honed, satin, suede, or lava. Just as each finish has a different look, it also has slightly different characteristics. Some colors are available in a HONED, SATIN, SUEDE, or LAVA finish which offers the soft appearance of a lower sheen compared to the POLISHED finish.

The HONED, SATIN, SUEDE, or LAVA finishes require slightly more maintenance than polished finished materials. Since the honed, satin, suede, or lava finish actually creates more surface area to the material, it has the potential to show more signs of living from daily use.

Possible marks from metal cookware or utensils, fingerprints, food and beverages, and other items placed on, or moved across the countertop may be visible on the surface.

Most marks can be easily removed with a cloth or sponge, but more more aggressive marks, please refer to the Manufacturer’s recommendations.

Over time the honed, satin, suede, or lava finish will develop character and a patina unique to each customer. Honed, satin, suede, or lava finishes can be cleaned using the same products and methods as other finishes. Please refer to the Individual manufacturers Care and Maintenance guide, available on their website for further information.

The warranties issued for Quartz covers manufacturing defects; however the temporary marks that commonly occur on honed and satin finishes are inherent to the material, and are not covered under the terms of the warranty.
