QUARTZ COUNTERTOPS ARE ENGINEERED FOR QUALITY

Unlike natural stone slabs that are mined, quartz slabs are engineered in a production facility. Ground quartz is mixed with pigments to give it color and then fused with resin binders under intense heat and pressure to form a solid slab. Recycled glass or metallic flecks may also be added to the mixture to create an eye-catching design. The manufacturing process has become more advanced over the years and is now able to create veining, swirls, and color variations that render it indistinguishable in appearance from natural stone. Once the material has cured, it may be polished, honed, sandblasted, or embossed to create a glossy or matte finish or a variety of textures.

NOT ALL QUARTZ COUNTERTOPS ARE CREATED EQUAL

Just as with any manufactured product, the quality of quartz countertop slabs can vary widely. Although the added resins tend to make them more flexible than those made from natural stone, poor quality quartz countertops may crack during installation or develop chips over time. And even though quartz surfaces are non-porous and don’t require sealing, if the bond between the quartz and the resin breaks down, they may become vulnerable to staining. In order to ensure the manufacturer stands behind its product, consumers should look for a comprehensive warranty program.

HANSTONE QUARTZ COUNTERTOPS ARE ENGINEERED FOR BEAUTY AND DURABILITY

HanStone Quartz surfaces combine high-quality polyester resins and pigment to produce a material that is luxurious, durable and low maintenance. Our state of the art manufacturing facility uses patented Breton™ manufacturing technology in combination with technology developed by our own research and development team, crafting the perfect fusion of natural beauty and long-term durability.

HanStone uses various types, sizes, and colors of quartz crystals from around the world, meticulously recreating the colors found in nature. Our advanced technology then creates designs that mimic the look of long vein natural-looking marble or granite. Materials such as colored glass, mirrors, mother-of-pearl, or small pieces of semi-precious stones such as lapis lazuli and amethyst can also be added to produce a truly unique aesthetic.

HanStone surfaces are non-porous and stain-resistant and never require polishing or sealing. This makes them easy to maintain and clean with only mild soap and water. They are also heat, chip, etch, and scratch resistant to deliver years of pleasure and enjoyment. HanStone is both bacteria resistant and eco-friendly and has been certified by the National Sanitation for Food Safety and Food Contact as well as the GREENGUARD Environmental Institute.

HANSTONE QUARTZ IS THE PERFECT CHOICE FOR ANY HOME

Homeowners want countertops that are beautiful, durable, and eco-friendly. HanStone Quartz surfaces offer the beauty of pure, natural quartz with up to six times the strength and durability of granite. And every HanStone Quartz countertop is backed by a Residential Lifetime Limited Warranty.

HUD’s 24-month mass timber modular project goes after the cost driver: shipping the modules

HUD’s 24-month mass timber modular project goes after the cost driver: shipping the modules

HUD is funding a 24-month Washington State University project to redesign modular housing modules around transport and fast site assembly. Shipping is the design constraint. A 2023 Journal of Building Engineering review of 2009–2021 modular CLT projects suggests faster construction timelines, but logistics choices still decide feasibility.

  • 01In modular housing, transportation is becoming a first-order engineering spec, the module that is cheapest to build can still be the most expensive to move.
  • 02For owners in seismic regions or temporary housing programs, the choice between 2D and 3D modular CLT approaches can trade longer-haul transportability against assembly speed.

Insurance and moisture controls now dictate mass timber schedules

Insurance and moisture controls now dictate mass timber schedules

Mass timber can go up as little as one day per floor. But builder’s risk and property insurance can be harder to place and pricier, largely tied to moisture exposure during construction. Metropolis says mass timber is mainstreaming across North America.

  • 01The schedule advantage is real, but it is only bankable if the project has a funded moisture-control plan from mill to dry-in.
  • 02Insurance has become an early design input for mass timber, forcing owners to lock in risk controls and documentation before procurement.
  • 03For mid-rise and campus projects, mass timber’s headline benchmark is cycle time per floor, which shifts schedule risk onto crane picks, staging, moisture protection, and inspection windows.

Dallas is still building big, but U.S. apartment deliveries fell 41%

Apartment deliveries in the U.S. decreased by 41% in the first half of 2026, according to Yardi Matrix data. Despite this national trend, Dallas/Fort Worth led in both multifamily and industrial deliveries.

  • 01Apartment deliveries in the U.S. dropped 41% in H1 2026.
  • 02Dallas/Fort Worth led the nation in multifamily and industrial deliveries.
