In order to create an engineered stone with many of the characteristics of natural rock, quartz worktops are built of tiny fragments of a range of materials, including naturally occurring quartzite or silica, man-made glass or mirror, recycled, and modified materials. Only 7 or 8 percent of the material is made of polymer resin, or plastic. This is high enough to produce a product that is exceptionally hard, yet low enough to effectively bind the stone. We can actually build quartz worktops thinner than granite ones thanks to that tiny amount of polymer, which also gives quartz slabs a higher flexural and tensile strength than genuine granite.
Quartz may provide colours that are pure as well as saturated and vibrant. When these items first came out, a wide variety of extremely vivid colours were offered, including magnificent pink surfaces in shades ranging from faint flamingo to gorgeous fuchsia, purples, intense blues, to orange, apple, and lime green. Numerous of these were also offered with mirror flecks.
The very pure colours, notably whites like our own Affordable White, and the sparkling mirror-flecked quartz, like Silestone Blanco Stellar, seen in this Sussex kitchen, are probably the most well-known when it comes to the look that is obviously manufactured. You may start by reading one of our many articles about quartz countertops that resemble marble. Please refer to this page for details on the distinctions between granite and quartz as well as the advantages and disadvantages of each material.
Quartz countertops never have to be sealed, unlike granite, marble, and other surfaces that require regular maintenance.
Quartz countertops are also nonabsorbent, so they resist staining and don’t harbor harmful bacteria.
Quartz has the same durability as concrete and granite, but is quite a bit more forgiving, so it won’t chip or crack as easily.
It doesn’t have the same hardness in the feel that some people find unpleasant.
We can remove your old countertops and install quartz countertops same day.
