Quartz is a mineral found in large quantities
under the earth's surface. Quartz has a very high durability. This material is
found in nature in several forms and thus found several applications depending
upon the variety. A variety of quartz is used in jewelry as semi-precious
stone; another variety is used for carving sculptures; yet another variety is
used for making precision clocks (such clocks make use of a component called
quartz oscillator); and, from some varieties of quartz decoration pieces are
made. But, there is one special variety that is used for making quartz
countertops for kitchens, which after going through industrial processes is
called engineered quartz countertop.
Nowadays, the quartz surfaces used as kitchen
countertops are mostly engineered quartz surfaces. It means that they are not
100% quartz, but they are composed of other materials as well. These surfaces
have 90% ground quartz added with 8-10% resins, pigments and polymers.
The resultant material, which is called
engineered quartz, is considered ideal for making kitchen countertops. This
material has a very high durability, which is akin to the durability of a
sturdy natural stone such as granite. Besides high durability, the kitchen
countertops made of engineered quartz exhibit qualities such as smooth finish,
glossy surface, and scratch, heat and stain resistance, to name a few. These surfaces
also require less maintenance and they do not require periodic resealing like
several natural stone surfaces. The above qualities make engineered quartz
countertops ideal for kitchen use.
