Calacatta Elysio Quartz Kitchen Countertops Installed in Colmar, PA
Project Backstory
The project involved a customer seeking to update their kitchen in Colmar, PA, with a focus on selecting a durable and visually appealing countertop surface. Their main goal was to brighten the space and achieve a long-lasting finish. To meet these requirements, they partnered with Akropolis Marble & Granite.
After consideration, the customer selected Calacatta Elysio quartz by MSI. This choice was driven by the material's pale backdrop, which instantly introduces an airy, refreshing feel to the kitchen. The surface is not only known for its durability but is also aesthetically enhanced by subtle taupe veins, featuring a sophisticated blend of soft beige and muted gray shades, completing the bright, refined look the customer desired.

Frequently Asked Questions
Find answers to the most common questions about our quartz countertops here.
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.
