A comparison
Neolith vs quartz for a Chicago-area kitchen
What Neolith is
Neolith is sintered stone, made from natural raw materials. It is more durable than quartz. The surface resists scratches, high heat, and UV, so color holds in sun and in weather, indoors or out. No silica sand is added to the mix. It is also more versatile than natural stone or quartz: counters and baths, and also facades, floors, and furniture. It is made in several thicknesses, including 3 mm. Absorption is close to zero.
What Impact quartz is
Impact quartz is the surface we keep when the job wants quartz: durable for daily kitchen use, non-porous so it does not stain, and with no sealing schedule. It carries a lifetime warranty. Ask what that covers for the job you are specifying. It is priced so a project can use quartz without a premium for the name. We do not publish a price list. Every Impact color is available as a half slab as well as a full slab.
Which one to look at first
Start with Neolith when the design needs more than a counter, when heat and sun matter, or when low silica is part of the specification. Start with Impact when the budget is quartz, when a half slab would cut waste, or when the color you want is in that line. Neither page is a substitute for seeing the slab. The showroom at 1084 Industrial Drive, Unit 2, is open by appointment.
