Discover Palermo Gold Quartz, an engineered surface made mostly of natural quartz bound with resins and pigments, designed for consistency and low maintenance. Expect gold, gray and white hues with a consistent, even appearance across the surface.
Look and Character
As a manufactured surface, Palermo Gold offers a consistent pattern from slab to slab, which makes it easier to plan large islands, long runs of countertop and seamless designs. It is available here in a polished / honed finish.
Best Uses
Palermo Gold Quartz is well suited to busy kitchens, islands, bathroom vanities, backsplashes and commercial spaces. It pairs beautifully with white, gray, navy or natural wood cabinetry.
Care and Maintenance
Quartz is non-porous, so it never needs sealing and resists everyday stains. Clean with mild soap and water and always use trivets for hot pans, since quartz is more sensitive to direct heat than natural stone. It is recommended for indoor use.
