Quartz Work

Quartz is one of the hardest natural minerals on earth. It is made up of approximately 93% natural quartz mineral and 7% of fragments, pigments and resins. Quartz can be used as worktops and to achieve this, it is combined with resins and polymers and pigments. To create the metallic flecks small amount of glass is added to create an amazing sight for engineered stone. When it comes to ‘hardness’, engineered quartz materials are in line with natural granite and quartzite. The strength of engineered quartz worktops makes them resistant to abrasion, scratches, dents, and even acids without the need for sealants, this is what makes it so appealing as a worktop. As Quartz is a non-porus material, it does not allow bacteria to grow. This makes it hygienic and easy to maintain. It is the perfect choice for kitchen surfaces as it is seamless and elegant and uniform in its pattern.

As beautiful as engineered quartz is when it is in contact with high heat it doesn’t hold up. When you have engineered Quartz as a worktop, it is always recommended that you use trivets or mats for pans and oven trays. The resin that covers the surface is not heat resistant to high temperatures.

Quartz can come in an array of colours and is durable for your needs.
