Quartz Information

Natural quartz surfaces deliver exceptional depth and clarity as well as the cool, solid feel that is unique to natural stone. They can be used in virtually any indoor surface application in kitchen and bathrooms, including floors, countertops, island tops and backsplashes.

Key benifits of using Quartz

Quartz surfaces - The Facts

All Quartz materials have bridged the gap between nature and technology and are a by-product material coming from the limey magmatic crystallisation to fabricated surfaces that are virtually maintenance free.

All Quartz Materials are a composite stone product, made using a state-of-the-art production technique that mixes exceptionally high quantities of natural quartz(94%) with a specialised bonding agent with great results.

Recommended Uses for all hard surface applications including

How is it made?
Quartz surfaces are manufactured through a highly automated, yet strictly monitored process:

Feeding & Mixing:
Raw materials are inspected, then fed into mixers and blended together.

Moulding:
This mixture is then poured into a mould in the form of standard slab sizes

Pressing:
The slab is then compacted by a special vacuum And vibration process.

Curing:
These are moved to the curing kiln and heated to 90ºC for 30 minutes - giving all Quartz surfaces genuine stone properties.

Polishing:
Slabs are then gauged, calibrated and polished to ensure the highest quality

Checking:
Finally, the slabs pass through quality control and checked for impurities before being shipped to manufactures of products.

Maintainance & Upkeep
Given their exceptional physical and mechanical properties, the regular maintenance of Quartz worktops only require cleaning with a neutral pH product/detergent.

Follow The instructions below:

As an example, below are some solutions to common problems:

Food / everyday Stains/ Marks
dilute a small amount of detergent in water and rub the stain with a clean cloth, then rinse with water and buff with a clean dry cloth.

Loss of shine: Buff with a soft cloth or call us for information on products for your type of worktop.

Water lime stains: Pour white vinegar (or any weak diluted acid) onto the surface of the worktop and leave it to work for 1 minute. Rinse with water.

Silicon stains: Use a sharp blade and a little solvent (such as acetone or ethanol)

Hot Pans / Hot Items
Do not make a habit of placing very hot items on the Quartz surface (deep-fryers, Red Hot Pans etc.).

Do not use water-repellents or sealers to bring out the shine

Do not use stripping agents, caustic soda, degreasing products, or products with a pH over 10 or chlorine-based. If you use bleach or a solvent you must rinse with water and never leave them in permanent contact with the surface.

The surface of the material must not be polished, and this applies to floors and worktops.
