Quartz Worktops durham
Quartz is the second most abundant mineral in the Earth's continental crust, after feldspar. There are many different varieties of quartz, several of which are semi-precious gemstones.
Although the quartz is composed mainly of all-natural quartz crystals, it is engineered to produce a final product that changes in appearance, consistency and colour depending on the resins, as well as, other components which are combined with the quartz.
The worktops can therefore be produced in different colours and textures and special effects are achieved through the use of additives such as pieces of mirror, glass, seashell, brass rasping and basalt which provide a totally different and distinctive look.
Water absorption is extremely low which makes the worktops highly resistant to the effects of acids and alkalis and they are unaffected by substances such as olive oil, wine, vinegar, lemon and detergent that are harmful to other kinds of surfaces.
Gloss, Suede, Glace and Leathered finishes do not require additional polishing.
Whilst every effort has been made to represent the material, there may be slight variations in colour or markings.
We offer a full range of Quartz from several suppliers including:
Fugen Stone
International Stones iQ
Silestone
Caring for a Quartz Worktop
When it comes to care and maintenance of quartz worktops, the dos are easy and straightforward: Wipe clean with a damp cloth. Use a mild nonabrasive detergent soap for deep cleaning. A chamois leather, or suction window cleaner if you have one, can be used to remove any streaks and ensure a shiny finish.
Quartz is stain resistant, but not stain proof. If you do not wipe up staining agents, such as fruit juices, tea, coffee or wine, it could settle in. To remove stubborn stains, use a paste of baking soda and water and rub in with a soft cloth. Use a plastic putty knife to gently scrape dried up food particles, gum, nail polish, grease or paint that have stuck to the surface of your quartz worktop. A used credit card will also do the trick.
Your quartz worktops are heat resistant, but not heat proof. To maintain their beauty, never place hot items directly on the surface. Also, do not place heat-generating appliances directly on the surface; such as crock-pots or indoor grills. Instead, use a trivet or potholder to keep heat from affecting your worktop's shine. Excessive heat can lead to thermal shock; which can cause deep cracks in the surface of the quartz.
Quartz is one of the hardest materials in nature. That's why your new quartz worktop will not easily scratch or chip. We do, however, recommend the use of a cutting board to protect the surface and avoid dulling your knives.
