What the MSI Q Quartz Warranty Includes
The MSI Q Quartz warranty covers material defects for residential and commercial use and offers peace of mind to both homeowners and industry professionals. MSI provides two main categories of warranty:
- Residential Lifetime Limited Warranty: This applies to Q Quartz surfaces installed in residential settings and lasts for as long as the original purchaser owns the home. It covers manufacturing defects under normal use and maintenance conditions.
- Commercial 10-Year Limited Warranty: Q Quartz installed in commercial environments is covered for a period of ten years. Applications can vary widely, from retail displays to hotel vanities and office countertops.
MSI’s warranty reflects confidence in Q Quartz's non-porous surface, resistance to staining, and impressive heat and scratch resistance — provided it's used and maintained properly.
What’s Excluded from Coverage
While the warranty is robust, it's important to understand what it does not cover. Exclusions include:
- Improper installation or handling
- Use of harsh chemicals or unapproved cleaners
- Cracks resulting from structural settling or impact
- Exposure to excessive heat (such as placing hot pans directly on the surface)
- Outdoor use, unless specifically approved
This highlights the need to hire experienced professionals – such as Zicana Boutique's network of vetted installers – and to always follow MSI's care guidelines.
Comparison with Other Leading Quartz Brands
MSI Q Quartz holds its own in comparison to other high-end engineered stones, offering luxury aesthetics similar to those found in the Silestone Quartz Collection or Compac Quartz Collection. Where MSI distinguishes itself is its value proposition: luxury finishes with practical price points that don’t compromise performance.
For instance, Silestone’s warranty covers a similar lifetime period but may require product registration, while Q Quartz maintains coverage with fewer post-sale obligations, making it a popular choice for turnkey projects and time-sensitive installations.
Those seeking additional aesthetic options might also explore the soft veining patterns of the Raphael Quartz Collection, known for its modern elegance and dramatic tone shifts.
Maximizing the Life of Your Q Quartz Surface
Your MSI Q Quartz surface is engineered for minimal maintenance, but proper care directly impacts how long it retains its like-new appearance. To make the most of your warranty and extend the visual longevity of your investment, follow these expert tips:
- Use cutting boards and trivets — quartz is scratch- and heat-resistant, but not invulnerable.
- Clean spills promptly with a mild soap and warm water.
- Avoid using bleach, oven cleaner, or industrial solvents.
For discerning designers, Zicana Boutique’s custom fabrication services, including Made-to-Measure Custom Countertops, ensure your Q Quartz installation perfectly integrates with cabinetry, fixtures, and millwork.

Frequently Asked Questions About the MSI Q Quartz Warranty
Is registration required for the MSI Q Quartz warranty to take effect?
No registration is required for most Q Quartz warranties, though it is recommended to retain your sales and installation documentation for reference in the event of a claim.
Can MSI Q Quartz be used outdoors?
Q Quartz is primarily designed for indoor use. Exposure to UV rays and weather conditions may cause discoloration or warping, and outdoor use typically voids the warranty unless explicitly specified by MSI.
Does the warranty transfer if I sell my home?
No — the warranty is not transferable. It applies only to the original purchaser and remains valid as long as they own the property where the slab was installed.
Who handles the warranty claim — MSI or the retailer?
Warranty claims are processed directly through MSI. However, working with authorized retailers like Zicana Boutique simplifies the documentation process and offers added support in understanding your eligibility.
