Two Bangkok Townhouses Become One With a Cage-Like Fence for Privacy. Why Quartz Cuts an Impressive Countertop. Crafted from one of the strongest minerals on earth, there's a reason why quartz surfaces have risen to cult-like status among design choices for cladding kitchens and bathrooms.

While it has the same tactile qualities of natural stone, quartz countertops are a blend of natural quartz aggregates with colorful pigments and polymer resins. It's an art that Caesarstone has been perfecting since 1987.
