Quartz countertops are an engineered blend of 90–93 percent ground quartz crystal bound with advanced resins. The result is a non‑porous, stain‑proof, color‑consistent slab that never needs sealing. If your Plano household includes budding chefs, kids’ science projects, or high‑traffic entertaining, quartz delivers the wipe‑clean durability modern families crave.
Quartzite begins as sandstone that is super‑heated and pressurized deep within the earth. The transformation fuses quartz grains into an interlocking crystalline structure harder than granite and more heat resistant than many metals. When polished, quartzite often mimics the high‑end drama of marble—think smoky veining, soft taupes, and icy whites—without marble’s scratching or etching issues. For homeowners seeking one‑of‑a‑kind natural beauty that stands up to Texas cookouts and holiday baking marathons, quartzite is unrivaled.

Transforming Plano Kitchens
Where Function Meets Showpiece
The kitchen remains Plano’s number‑one renovation target because it’s the space that sells homes, hosts guests, and fuels daily life. Our quartz and quartzite programs tackle every performance and aesthetic concern:
Seamless Waterfall Islands
Imagine a Calacatta‑look quartz slab cascading uninterrupted to the floor—no visible joints, just sculptural elegance anchoring your open‑concept kitchen.
Book‑Matched Quartzite Range Walls
We mirror two consecutive slabs so the veining meets in a dramatic V‑shape behind your cooktop, turning routine meal prep into a five‑star backdrop.
Ultra‑Thin European Profiles
For sleek modern lofts near Downtown Plano, 2 cm quartz edges deliver a minimalist look without sacrificing impact resistance.
Full‑Height Quartz Backsplashes
Eliminate grout lines, speed cleanup, and create a cohesive wrap‑around effect that makes smaller kitchens feel expansive.
Zero Porosity Protection
Coffee, wine, and barbecue sauce cannot penetrate quartz’s resin matrix.
Thermal Shock Resilience
Quartzite survives cast‑iron straight from a 500 °F oven.
Scratch Deflection
Both materials rank above 7 on the Mohs hardness scale—harder than most knives.
Elevating Plano Bathrooms
From Functional to Five‑Star Spa
Quartz Vanities for Hygienic Ease
Non‑porous surfaces repel mildew and mascara pigments; one swipe with mild soap restores the shine.
Heat‑Proof Quartzite Make‑Up Stations
Flat‑iron at full heat? No problem.
Integrated Quartz Shelves & Ledges
Matching niches and window sills tie the design together and eliminate porous grout.
Return on Investment
Numbers Plano Sellers Appreciate
A recent study by the National Association of Realtors® found that upgraded stone countertops recoup 60–80 percent of their cost at resale—often higher in competitive Plano zip codes like 75024 and 75093. Appraisers cite quartz and quartzite surfaces as a “market differentiator,” helping listings stand out on crowded MLS feeds.
To make the jump painless, The Design House offers:
0 % APR Financing for 12 Months – Ideal for remodels planned around bonus season.
