More About Quartz
Engineered quartz is made from crushed natural quartz; one of the hardest natural minerals on earth.
To make this stone, around 90-94% crushed quartz is combined with resins, polymers and pigments, creating a strong and solid surface in a variety of colours and textures. Often, small amounts of glass or metallic flecks are also added to create a light reflective surface. The appearance of the finished product depends on how the stone is ground: coarsely ground quartz produces a flecked appearance, while finely ground quartz produces a smooth look.
Extremely hard and durable; it is resistant to abrasion, scratches, cracks, dents, and even acids without the need for sealants. Being non-porous, there is no absorption. It is completely stain-proof, making it the ideal surface for any busy kitchen, especially if there are children around.
Despite being heat-resistant, the resins found in quartz can melt and mark when exposed to extremely hot temperatures. For this reason, we always recommend using trivets and mats when taking hot pans out of the oven.
