Product Storage

Indoor storage is recommended for Radianz™ slabs. If slabs are stored outside, they must be kept covered and be stored with the polished faces unexposed. UV light from the sun can react with the polymer resins in the slabs and permanently damage the appearances and change colors.Below diagram displays how the slabs are stored.The first slab against the frame should be the back side and the next sequential slab should be polished face to polished face. Then the following should be back side to back side and so on.

Care & Maintenance

1. Routine CleaningOn a day-to-day basis RadianzTM simply require a wipe down with a soft cloth of soap and warm water tomaintain its natural beauty and shine. Polished RadianzTM has a low porosity it does not require the application of any surface sealants and naturally resistance to surface staining from cooking oils, wine,coffee etc. In most cases, soap and water or a mild detergent is enough to your RadianzTM countertop looking like new. If necessary, use a non-abrasive soft soap along with a non-scratch or delicate scrub pad. Afterwards, thoroughly rinse with clean water to remove residue.

2. Stubborn marksIf needed, apply a non-abrasive household cleaner and rinse to remove residue. For marks that hardenwhen they dry (food,gum etc) remove by gently scraping the material off the RadianzTM surface using aplastic putty knife or no-scratch Scotch-Brite® pad and then use a damp cloth to remove any marks or residual dirt.Never use Methylene Chloride or cleaners containing any alkaline materials.

NOTE RadianzTM is much harder than the steel blade so excessive scrapping of a blade on the surfacemay abrade the blade and leave a gray mark on the surface.

3. Heat damageRadianzTM is extremely resistant to heat and can withstand high temperatures for brief periods of timewithout damage. Although RadianzTM is more heat resistance than most other surfaces, all stone can bedamaged by sudden and extreme temperature change especially near the edges. For this reason westrongly recommended using a trivet or hot pad to protect your RadianzTM work surface from extreme heat.

4. Scratch ResistanceRadianzTM is substantially harder than natural stone and highly resistant to scratch. However avoid abuse of the surface by refraining from using sharp objects such as sharp knives or screw drivers directly onto the surface.

RadianzTM Quartz Surfaces is made from good quality raw materials that present exception physical and mechanical feature together with unique beauty ideal for interior decoration. It requires very little maintenance as its unique production process creates a surface with low porosity, which prevents fluid absorption.

4-1. Care &

Maintenance

Care & Maintenance

5. Products that should be avoided- Cleaners that contain Pine Oil. Without very thorough rinsing, these products can leave behind a residue of pine oil. The pine oil then attracts and holds dirt on the surface, eventually reducing the cleanliness of the surface and its appearance.- Highly aggressive cleaning agents such as oven/grill cleaners and dishwasher polishing agents that have high alkaline/pH levels (pH 8.5 or higher)- Abrasive scrubs/cleaners containing either soft or hard abrasive particles. The abrasives will harm RadianzTM and if the surface is not completely rinsed, a powder residue will remain reducing the appearance of the surface, especially ondark colors.- Cleaners that contain xylene, toluene, potassium hydroxide or caustic soda.- Paint removers, Furniture strippers containing trichlorethane or methylene chloride.

FREQUENTRY ASKED QUESTIONS (FAQs)

Q : what is the installation method for flooring?A : When used for floors, the installation method for Radianz™ is similar to natural stone. However, using cement mortar is not permitted with Radianz™.

And, during installation work for tile, any cement mortar or adhesive on the surface of tile should bewiped off immediately. Otherwise, it may lead to discoloration of the surface.Thus, we recommend “Latex” to improve adhesive strength so please refer to the “Installation Guide” for more information.

Q : what chemical products should be avoided during care and maintenance ?A : Please refer to the following:

1) Cleaners that contain Pine Oil. 2) Highly aggressive cleaning agents such as oven/grill cleaners and dish washer polishing agents that have high alkaline/pH levels (pH 8.5 or higher) 3) Abrasive scrubs/cleaners containing either soft or hard abrasive particles. 4) Cleaners that contain Xylene, Toluene, Potassium Hydroxide or Caustic soda 5) Paint removers, Furniture strippers containing trichlorethane or methylene chloride.6) Nail polish remover, bleach, bluing, permanent markers, inks, oil soaps.
