Quartz is popular among Tucson homeowners because it offers the beauty of natural stone combined with the durability of an engineered material. Quartz countertops are made from crushed quartz mixed with a resin polymer to create a solid, non-porous surface that is easy to clean and maintain because it doesn’t require annual sealing.
Quartz also offers more design versatility, with consistent color and pattern across slabs, and it can be enhanced with different dyes and pigments to offer a broader variety of color choices. Whether you want to mimic the beauty of marble or granite in your quartz countertops or showcase bright and bold statement colors, you can achieve the exact look you want.
At Granite Kitchen & Bath, we fabricate and install quartz countertops built to stand up to Tucson conditions — hard water, sun exposure through kitchen windows, and daily wear in a busy household.
Cambria quartz is a standout in our showroom. We are an authorized Cambria dealer and fabricator in Tucson, which allows us to deliver exceptional quality to homeowners in Southern Arizona. Cambria is American-made, manufactured in the U.S. by a family-owned company. They are known for high-end quality with intricate designs and a huge selection of color choices.
Cambria countertops are 100% non-porous, so they never need to be resealed and are highly stain resistant. They are also very dense and scratch resistant and NSF rated for food safety. However, like other quartz countertops, Cambria countertops are sensitive to high heat and should not be installed outdoors or used without heat protection for hot dishes.
Our in-house fabrication shop is where your vision for custom countertops comes to life. At our workshop on Casa Grande Hwy, we utilize digital templating to make precision cuts for accurate seam placement and a smooth installation process. Local fabrication means we oversee every step of the process from templates to installation. Most projects take about 7-10 days from start to finish, and your countertops will be ready to use within 24-48 hours after they’re installed.
Quartz and granite each have their unique pros and cons. Quartz is ideal when minimal maintenance is a top priority because it never needs to be resealed and is completely non-porous. Granite is ideal for outdoor applications and in environments where high heat tolerance is a must.
| Granite | Quartz | |
|---|---|---|
| Heat Tolerance | High heat tolerance, can be used both indoors and outdoors. | Lower heat tolerance due to resin used in the engineering process. |
| Stain Resistance | More prone to staining, especially if not properly sealed or with a honed finish. | Highly stain resistant, 100% non-porous |
| Maintenance Requirements | Needs annual resealing and can become damaged when acidic cleaning products are used | Very low maintenance, easy to clean and requires no annual sealing |
At Granite Kitchen & Bath, we offer both granite and quartz with a huge selection of each in our Tucson showroom. Schedule a consultation with us to determine which is the best fit for your home.
Quartz is right at home in the kitchen and can be used for kitchen counters, islands, and backsplashes. Quartz is also a popular choice for dramatic waterfall edges, which have become popular in Tucson homes.
In bathrooms, moisture and humidity are key factors to consider when choosing the right materials. Quartz creates durable vanity tops, backsplashes, and shower surrounds.
Professional installation is essential for achieving the look you want with quartz countertops. Quartz is very dense and heavy, so it needs to be handled by skilled installers who can make sure that it is placed properly and well-supported.
We install quartz countertops throughout Tucson and the surrounding communities, including Oro Valley, Marana, Catalina, Catalina Foothills, Sahuarita, Vail, Green Valley, Rita Ranch, Flowing Wells, Tanque Verde, and Corona de Tucson — plus Benson, Willcox, Sierra Vista, and Nogales across Pima, Santa Cruz, and Cochise Counties.
If you’re ready to upgrade your countertops, schedule a consultation with Granite Kitchen & Bath. We will visit your home to take measurements and offer design suggestions to help you achieve the look you want. Then, you can visit our Tucson showroom to see full quartz slabs and begin visualizing your completed project. You will choose the exact slabs your countertops are cut from in our shop.
The cost of quartz countertops will depend on the total square footage installed, the edge profile, and the exact type of quartz selected. During your in-home consultation with our team, we’ll walk you through pricing and project details, so you can budget accordingly.
Granite and quartz countertops are similar but have some key differences to consider. Granite is 100% natural stone, so every slab will be unique, and the stone must be regularly sealed to avoid stains, scratches, and other damage. Quartz is engineered with about 90-93% quartz blended with pigments and binders, so it is non-porous, dense, and stain-resistant.
No. Quartz is non-porous and does not need to be sealed or polished.
Yes. You can see full slabs in our Tucson showroom, and you’ll pick out the exact slab from which your countertops are fabricated.
Yes. We are licensed, bonded, and insured in the state of Arizona.
Quartz performs well in Arizona’s dry heat and hard water indoors, since it’s non-porous and won’t absorb minerals or stain. It’s not suited to outdoor installation, though — sustained direct sun can fade or discolor the resin over time. For outdoor kitchens and BBQ counters, we recommend granite instead.
