Quartz Stone
Description
CIDG Egypt is a leading supplier of quartz stone, an engineered surface made from roughly 90% ground natural quartz bound with high-strength resins and pigments. Quartz stone is manufactured under heat and pressure, which gives it a dense, non-porous body that resists stains, scratches and bacteria far better than many natural materials. The result is a hard-wearing surface that arrives in consistent colours and patterns, ready for kitchens, bathrooms and commercial fit-outs across Egypt and export markets.

What is quartz stone?
Quartz stone is an engineered product, not a natural slab cut from the ground. Crushed quartz crystals are blended with about 7-10% polymer resin and colour pigments, then compacted and cured into rigid slabs. Because the binder seals every grain, quartz stone never needs sealing and will not absorb water, oil, wine or coffee. Compared with natural stone, the engineered structure delivers uniform shade from slab to slab, predictable strength and a surface that holds its finish for many years with only soap-and-water care.
Product Information
Quartz stone properties and benefits
The engineered makeup of quartz is what sets it apart. Key properties include:
- Non-porous: the resin binder closes the surface, so spills sit on top and wipe away.
- Stain resistant: coffee, oil, wine and citrus do not soak in or leave marks.
- Scratch and chip resistant: a hardness close to natural quartz handles daily knife, pan and traffic wear.
- Consistent colour: factory pigments give repeatable shades, unlike the natural veining of granite or marble.
- No sealing required: there is no annual maintenance, unlike porous natural surfaces.
These traits make quartz stone a low-maintenance, hygienic choice for busy homes and high-use commercial spaces.

Quartz stone frequently asked questions
Is quartz stone a natural stone?
No. Quartz stone is an engineered surface made from about 90% ground natural quartz combined with resin and pigment. The natural quartz is real, but the slab is manufactured, which gives it consistent colour and a non-porous body.
Does quartz stone need sealing?
No. The resin binder makes quartz stone non-porous, so it never needs sealing. This is a key difference from natural granite or marble, which require periodic sealing to resist stains.
Can quartz stone be used outdoors?
Quartz stone is best used indoors. Prolonged direct sunlight can fade the pigments and resin over time, so we recommend it for kitchens, bathrooms and interior commercial spaces rather than exterior applications.
