About Quartz
Quartz is an extremely hard substance, with unique strength, depth, clarity and radiance. It offers a distinctive depth, brilliant clarity and a cool, smooth feel that is unique among natural stone surfaces. Quartz also offers a uniformity of color that provides a feeling of enlightened luxury, especially when showcased with various types of natural light.
Visual Difference From Other Stones
Quartz surfaces are developed with one of earth's strongest minerals to create a revolutionary material that has its own character unlike any other surface.
Because Quartz crystals capture and reflect light in unique ways, the result is a surface that brings a feeling of luxury into any setting where it is used. Its exceptional clarity and consistency in color, along with depth and radiance of quartz crystals, give this material unlimited potential in both horizontal and vertical surfacing applications within the home.
Strength
As a mineral, Quartz has unique characteristics of superior strength and durability. Since Quartz surfacing is composed almost totally from quartz crystals, it has exceptional hardness. In fact, a Quartz surface has over twice the flexural strength of granite making it less susceptible to chipping and cracking.
Versatility
Quartz can be used in virtually any indoor surfacing application. Its versatility allows for a wide variety of projects including countertops, backsplashes, flooring, shower and tub enclosures, fireplace surrounds, wet bars, wall cladding, desktops and tabletops.
Consistency
Quartz can be cut and installed to the exact specifications needed by the customer. This helps to reduce waste during production as well as ensures order accuracy. There is no sealing required for a Quartz surface since it is dense, non-porous and resistant to stain. And, on top of everything, a Quartz surface is easy to maintain and keep its beauty for many generations to come.
