Quartz stone

Quartz stone is resistant to mechanical damage, wear, abrasion, and scratches. In terms of hardness, it ranks below only corundum, topaz, and diamond.

Quartz stone consists of 93 to 95% milled natural quartz, with resins (4-6%) acting as a binder.

The variety of colors and decorative elements is provided by added minerals and particles such as marble chips, mirror particles, and coloring agents. Quartz stone is produced in slabs and used in residential and commercial buildings for tabletops, wall cladding, flooring, stairs, and other interior surfaces.

Quartz stone offers significant advantages over marble and granite. While marble is brittle and susceptible to damage from food acids (even a drop of wine or champagne can permanently mar the surface), quartz stone is highly resilient. Its void-free composition makes it completely moisture-resistant. With a low moisture absorption rate of just 0.02%, Quartz stone surfaces are highly resistant to staining.

Maintenance of quartz stone is simple: all that's needed is a cloth and standard liquid or gel detergent. This contrasts sharply with marble, granite, and other natural stones, which require special polishes to reduce their porosity and protect the surface.

Quartz stone is exceptionally user-friendly and doesn't require regular additional treatments or expenses, unlike natural stone. With normal use and basic care, an quartz stone surface maintains its initial appearance for years, consistently looking as good as new.
