Description

The Berwyn quartz offers an array of colors in swirls of whites, ivories, and creams with subtle gray veins and hints of gold and silver radiance throughout. The movement throughout is inconsistent, yet as a whole, the Berwyn presents itself as a work of art. Resembling the pattern of a natural stone, this material is the best of both worlds as it requires very little maintenance.

Quartz has become immensely popular in the most recent years, for its many obvious reasons. Like other quartz patterns, this stone is both stain and water resistant, but it is important to remember it is not heat resistant. Precautions must be taken in order to ensure heat does not cause irreversible damage to the patterning of this stone. Still, this extra effort is more than worth it, and it will still make a fantastic kitchen, or bathroom, countertop. Other remodeling possibilities include backsplashes, vanity tops, and much more. With its radiating colors and pattern, this quartz is sure to complement various design styles, from traditional to contemporary.
