About
Quartz, Engineered Stone :
Artificial Quartz Stone (not to be confused with natural stone Quartzite) is a manmade product created mostly from natural materials. Engineered Quartz is made of %90 to %94 ground quartz and % 6 to %10 resins and coloring pigments that are combined into durable and nonporous slabs. This means you don't get the unique, natural veining that can be found in granite and marble. However, it has now become possible with the newest high technology machines to manufacture quartz slab surfaces that are very similar to the natural stones. The strength of quartz, even in a manufactured form, makes it naturally resistant to abrasion, scratches, dents, and even acids without the need for sealants. And the environmental impact of manufactured quartz is low: Quartz is an abundant material and the finished product is nontoxic and non-allergenic, and will last a lifetime, reducing the need for replacement.
