Product Overview

• .

• Made by consolidating 95-percent natural stone with 5-percent polymer pitches, artificial quartz, also known as engineered

quartz is a super-hard, low support surface with the look and feel of regular stone. It is accessible in an assortment of shading

alternatives, is non-permeable and doesn't need to be resealed. Extreme warmth can harm the surface and establishment

can be work concentrated.

• Engineered stone is a composite material made of squashed quartz bound together by a cement, (most generally polymer

tar, with some more current forms utilizing bond blend). The two normal stones utilized as a part of delivering these items

are marbles and quartz. The use of these items relies on upon the first stone utilized. For designed marbles the most widely

recognized application is indoor deck and dividers, while the quartz based item is utilized basically for kitchen ledges.

Related materials incorporate geo-polymers and cast stone.

• Dust from cutting or cleaning designed stone made with quartz represents a danger of silicosis.

• Designed stone items are picking up in notoriety; numerous shopping centres and retail establishments around the globe use
