DIY Quartz Finishes Available at Shop

DIY Quartz Finishes Available at ShopThinking about Quartz for your DIY worktops? Great choice! Quartz is durable, stylish, and relatively easy to maintain.

Polished finish is the most popular type. Polish finish on surfaces gives a glossy, smooth and non-porous look from the outside while stopping the oil and greases from penetrating inside. This is extremely neat, easy to clean, and perfect for busy kitchens.

Honed finish offers a matte look, making your countertop more subtle and contemporary. It’s smooth but not shiny, which can help hide scratches and smudges better than a polished finish. Honed quartz is great for those who prefer a softer, more understated look in their kitchen.

Leather finish is the newest trend. It adds a unique texture to the quartz, giving it a slightly rough, tactile feel while still being less porous than natural stone. This finish adds depth and character, making it an excellent choice if you want something different.
