Mike USA Granite embarked on a 33 square feet kitchen project in Ladson, focusing on a timeless and elegant aesthetic. The client specifically selected White Carrara Quartz, a material known for its classic appeal and durability, to be installed in their kitchen area. This choice suggests a desire for a clean, sophisticated look that will withstand daily use.
The project included an eased edge for a smooth, refined finish, and a 4-inch backsplash to provide a seamless transition between the countertop and the wall. A 50/50 sink was also incorporated, indicating a functional layout for ease of use in the kitchen. These details highlight a project aimed at combining both aesthetic beauty and practical functionality.
Material used: Quartz

Quartz countertops are an engineered stone product made primarily from crushed natural quartz crystals, one of the hardest minerals on Earth. These crystals are mixed with a small amount of resins, polymers, and pigments, and then pressed into slabs. This manufacturing process creates a non-porous, highly durable, and beautiful surface that is more consistent and stain-resistant than natural stone.
Quartz is extremely durable and resistant to scratches, thanks to the hardness of the natural quartz it contains. However, it is not impervious to damage. While it can handle everyday heat, it’s not as heat-resistant as granite. We recommend always using a trivet or hot pad under hot pans, as extreme heat can scorch the resin in the countertop and cause permanent discoloration.
Maintaining quartz countertops is incredibly easy due to their non-porous nature. For daily cleaning, simply wipe the surface with a soft cloth and mild soap and water. Avoid using harsh, abrasive cleaners or scouring pads, as these can dull the finish. Since quartz is non-porous, it never needs to be sealed, making maintenance a breeze.
