There are some alternative quartz brands available. Some of these we have used in the past. History and experience has shown us that a high percentage of quartz slabs shipped in from the Far East, as an example, are of a low grade where it is almost impossible to get the facing edge of the material to be polished. It would not be wise if you choose a quartz brand other than those listed underneath from an alternative manufacturer. With these poor quality products, chemicals are applied by the fabricator to the leading edge, to make the product look like it has been polished. In a short duration of time, this will fade leaving a dull edge and sometimes considerably worse with scrapes and lines that were not previously visible. These poor quality materials really should be avoided, especially when you remember that they will only alter an estimate by a token value.
