Seller-provided details for this listing.
Quartz is a mineral occurring present in many igneous and metamorphic rocks, it is a key constituent of granite pegmatites, and a main component of sandstones. It is made of one of the hardest minerals and is more attractive. A variety of colours are offered to range from fiery red, olive green, earthy tones, cream, and veining that shimmers to match the magnificence of granite or marble. Quartz stones are engineered in factories.
Composition of Quartz Worktops
The composition primarily consists of 94% quartz which is mixed with Polyester resin and pigments to give an attractive looking colour, minor amounts of glass or metallic specks are added to the mix to develop new designs. The resins bind the mix together and also help in making the counters stain and scratch-resistant and nonporous, so they do not require sealing. Natural-quartz crystals are mined and ground into a powder form or an aggregate. It is fused with poly resin binders and pigments that impart colour under intense heat and pressure to form a solid slab.
In the past, the drawback against quartz was the limited number of patterns and colour variations. But the situation has changed with all the manufacturers presenting multi-shaded slabs with enough specks, swirls, and random patterning to make them almost indistinguishable from the natural stone.
They were once available only with a polished finish; now you can get one with a honed, sandblasted, or embossed treatment. Whether you are looking for a leathered limestone, textured slab, or glossy marble, we have a quartz kitchen countertop for you.
