Quartz
Quartz is an engineered stone, built by binding crushed natural quartz crystals with resins, pigments and hardeners into a dense, non-porous slab. The product looks remarkably close to natural marble, but because it's manufactured rather than quarried, resulting in each slab having the same colour and pattern every time.
That consistency is a big part of why marble-look quartz is so widely popular for premium kitchen countertops, bathroom vanities, flooring and wall cladding, in homes as well as offices and commercial spaces across the UAE. Architects and designers tend to reach for quartz countertops as they offer less staining, less scratching, and better heat tolerance than a lot of natural stone options. At Al Asal Marbles, the quartz range is put together with exactly this kind of project in mind: different design styles, different budgets, different applications, all covered under one roof.
Factors to Consider Before Choosing Quartz
Surface Finish
Finish changes everything about how a slab appears in a room. A polished quartz surface throws light around and feels sharp and modern; honed or matte finishes feel softer. Which one is the right choice comes down to your lighting and how much upkeep you're willing to do.
Colour & Veining
Some clients want a clean, minimal white quartz look. Others want the vibrancy of Calacatta quartz veining running through the slab. Either way, colour and pattern should be chosen as per the room it's going into, cabinetry, flooring, existing tones, and not picked in isolation.
Slab Thickness
Thickness isn't just a technical spec; it changes how the material behaves. Take a look at the common options available, as each suits different jobs. Heavier-use surfaces like countertops usually need a thicker slab, while thinner ones work well on walls.
Application Area
Not every quartz surface needs to do the same job. A kitchen countertop needs good stain and heat resistance; a floor needs to handle foot traffic and slip resistance; a bathroom vanity has its own requirements. Match the material accordingly.
Heat, Scratch & Stain Resistance
Because engineered quartz is non-porous, it naturally shrugs off heat, scratches and stains better than most natural stone. That's exactly why it holds up so well in busy kitchens and high-footfall commercial spaces. It is still worth checking the resistance level before you finalise.
Edge Profile & Fabrication
The edge is where craftsmanship is visible. Bullnose, bevelled, straight - each style changes both the safety and the look of the finished piece. Good fabrication means clean joints, accurate cuts, and an installation that won't need revisiting a year later.

Quartz Marble FAQs
What is Quartz Marble?
It’s an engineered surface made from natural quartz crystals bound with resins and pigments, giving you the look of marble with better durability behind it.
Is Quartz Marble natural or engineered?
It is engineered. Natural quartz is its main ingredient. Resins and pigments get added during manufacturing.
Is Quartz Marble suitable for kitchen countertops?
Yes. Quartz countertops resist scratches, stains and heat well. The non-porous surface means spills don’t soak in the way.
Does Quartz require sealing?
No. Its non-porous nature already handles that job. Natural stones like marble or granite need regular sealing; quartz doesn’t.
Is Quartz Marble better than natural marble?
“Better” depends on priorities. Quartz wins on durability, consistency and low maintenance; natural marble offers veining. However, while some of the marble varieties are used for external wall claddings, quartz is not recommended for such uses
How do you maintain Quartz Marble?
You simply need mild dish soap, water and a wipe-down. The non-porous surface resists staining, so it’s a lot easier to live with than most natural stone. Since it is low-maintenance, it requires a bit of look-after and maintenance occasionally.
