QUARTZ

Quartz surfaces are prized for their versatility and durability. Here are some key properties:

  • Composition: Quartz surfaces are engineered using natural quartz crystals combined with resins and pigments, resulting in a non-porous material.

  • Hardness: Quartz ranks 7 on the Mohs scale, making it highly resistant to scratches and wear.

  • Non-Porosity: Unlike natural stones, quartz surfaces are non-porous, which makes them resistant to stains and bacteria.

  • Heat Resistance: While quartz can handle moderate heat, direct exposure to high temperatures can damage the resin.

  • Aesthetic Appeal: Quartz surfaces come in a wide range of colors and patterns, often mimicking natural stones like marble or granite.
