Quartz is often called an “engineered” stone because it is not made from only quartz. It is also known as a “compound” or “cultured” stone material.

Thinking it’s time to replace your windows? There was a time when the more glass windows your house had, the wealthier you were presumed to be. In fact, for a time in colonial America, there was a tax on windows to support the Revolutionary War effort. The poorest folks, the ones with only wooden shutters instead of glass, were spared.
Now, of course, shutters are typically just for decoration. Not only can everyone have windows, but the more the merrier.
