5 Facts About Quartz:
1. Quality Quartz surfaces are made up of a blend of natural quartz product, pigments and polymers that are moulded, pressed and then cured to make a very strong solid surface slab that can then be fabricated for a variety of uses. At Caesarstone, the process begins with a rigorous inspection of all incoming raw materials. These are then manufactured through a highly automated, yet strictly monitored process that includes a significant amount of time and resources dedicated to polishing, testing and tagging.
2. Durability Quartz is one of nature’s hardest materials. On the Mohs scale of mineral hardness, which is based on the ability of one natural sample of mineral to scratch another mineral visibly, quartz scores 7 compared to marble which scores 3-4. Diamond is 10 and chalk is 1. That means quartz surfaces are amongst the most durable surfaces available, a vital quality when it comes to areas as well utilised as the bathroom.
3. Performance Caesarstone tested its quartz products against marble and granite for impact strength, flexible strength, compression and water absorption and they outperformed both marble and granite in all areas tested, confirming the supremacy of quartz when it comes to durability and being virtually non-porous.

While granite and marble surfaces generally need to be sealed and are more prone to marks and scratching, quartz does not need to be sealed by artificial means and is scratch and mark resistant. A surface that is scratch and stain resistant will keep your bathroom looking beautiful for many years to come.
4. Design & Versatility High quality, premium-engineered quartz surfaces offer product consistency, a wide range of colours and designs and finishes simply not possible with natural stone. High quality quartz can be cut to fit nearly any space, is extremely adaptable and available in differing thicknesses. This makes quartz ideal for a range of surface applications – vanity units, walls and floors – for every bathroom whatever its size or shape. Unlike granite and marble, Caesarstone quartz can even be curved using a thermal process, opening up to a vast range of design options.
5. Maintenance Not only does quartz last longer than almost all other surface options, it is easier to maintain, clean and keep looking good for longer. Quartz doesn’t need sealing, treating, polishing or any other form of maintenance, except a simple wipe clean with household detergent and water. And quartz offers a practical, hygienic and environmentally-friendly solution for all bathrooms and wet rooms, on floors and walls as well as vanity units.
