Engineered quartz countertops can be severely damaged or ruined by exposure to extreme direct heat, such as placing a blazing hot cast-iron skillet straight from the stove onto the surface, which causes the polymer resins binding the quartz crystals to scorch, melt, or discolor. Additionally, harsh chemical solvents like paint strippers, oven cleaners, drain openers, and strong alkaline compounds can break down the resin matrix, while heavy impacts from blunt tools can chip the edges.
