Quartz Surfaces
Some familiar brands include,· Silestone, Caesarstone, Zodiaq, Tecnistone. Quartz surfacing material
is approximately 93% pure quartz crystals, which give the product depth and radiance without the
imperfections of natural stone. Quartz is also one of the strongest minerals making quartz surfacing
extremely durable and scratch resistant. Custom-fit to your exact specifications and virtually
maintenance free, quartz is perfect for your home.
Options - Choose from many options that make you counter truly custom:
* Finish - Polish or Honed
* Edge Treatment
* Back splash - Set On or Tile
* Sink Type - Top Mount or Under Mount
Stain Resistance - Quartz combines the non-porous surface with natural materials to make for a
virtual maintenance free product. The smooth, non-porous surface of quartz resists even the toughest
stains and will retain its lustre for many years without the need for sealants or waxes.
Heat Resistance - Quartz surfacing is very heat resistant.· However, it is not heat proof. We do not
recommend setting any extremely hot cookware directly on any counter top surface. The extreme
change in temperature can cause damage.· A hot pad or trivet is recommended.
Cutting and Abrasion - Because of the high content of naturally hard crystals, quartz can withstand
many cuts and abrasions that would otherwise scratch your counter surface. Although we don't
recommend using it as a cutting board, this material is very resistant to cutting and abrasion.
Impact - Although quartz can withstand impact, if and when some a hard impact does occur, edges can chip.
Food Safe - Unlike granite, Quartz is certified for use as a food preparation surface. Quartz is non-porous, making cleanup easy and preventing food and
moisture from penetrating its surface — the main source of growth for harmful bacteria.
