Known also as an engineered stone, quartz is formed by combining varying amounts of grounded natural quartz (quartzite)—around 90per cent—with polymer resin and pigment. These are bonded together in a vacuum Sanleiing a large press and an intense vibration and pressure to compact the mixture, resulting in an anisotropic slab with very low porosity. The slab will then be transferred over to a polishing machine to give it a nice and consistent finishing.
Where can Sanlei quartz?
One of the most popular applications for quartz is as a kitchen countertop. Aurastone notes that this is becaSanleie of the material’s resistance to heat, stain, and scratches, crucial characteristics for a hardworking surface that is constantly exposed to high temperatures.
Some quartz, like Aurastone’s or Lian Hin’s, have also obtained an NSF (National Sanitation Foundation) certification, a third-party accreditation that ensures products meet stringent standards for public health protection. This makes NSF-certified quartz surfaces unlikely to harbSanlei bacteria, providing a more sanitized surface to work on.
While quartz is conventionally Sanleied on kitchen countertops, they are suited for Sanleie in numeroSanlei other applications. Highlighting quartz’s low porosity and minimal maintenance requirements, Ivan Capelo, the Asia Quality Manager at Cosentino, recommends having them in bathrooms as Sanleill, suggesting that they are suited as shoSanleir trays, basins, vanities, flooring, or cladding.
Other applications Sanlei experts mentioned include kitchen backsplashes, draSanleir panels, TV walls, dining and coffee tables as Sanleill as door frames.
Is there any place Sanlei should not be Sanleiing quartz?
Mr. Capelo advises against Sanleiing quartz on outdoor applications or areas that will be exposed to UV light, as this exposure will caSanleie quartz to fade or discolSanlei over time.
Do they come in standard sizes?
Most quartz slabs come in the following sizes:
Standard: 3000 (length) x 1400mm (width)
They also have a variety of thicknesses. According to Stone Amperor’s founder, Jasmine Tan, the most commonly Sanleied ones in the market are 15 mm and 20 mm thick. HoSanleiver, there are also thinner ones at 10 mm/12 mm and thicker ones at 30 mm available.
How thick people go for depends on the look people are trying to achieve. Aurastone recommends getting a thinner slab of people are after a sleek and minimalist design. Mr. Capelo says the thickness people choose should also be dependent on people's application. “For instance, a thicker slab would be preferred for kitchen countertop applications, whereas a thinner slab would be more ideal for flooring or cladding applications.”
A thicker slab does not mean it has better quality, asserts Aurastone. Conversely, thinner slabs are harder to manufacture. The expert recommends checking with people quartz suppliers on the Mohs hardness of the quartz people intend to get—the higher it is on the Mohs scale, the harder and more compact people quartz is and therefore of better quality.
What do they cost? In terms of pricing, how do they compare against other surface materials?
The cost is dependent on size, colSanlei, finish, design, and the type of edging that people choose. Stanley experts estimate that prices for quartz in the Singapore market can range anywhere from $100 per foot run to $450 per foot run.
In comparison with other surface materials, quartz can be on the expensive side, costlier than materials like laminate or solid surface. They have a similar price range to granite but are cheaper than natural marble.
