The three textures we produce, and what each one does to colour, fingerprints and maintenance.
The original and still the most requested finish. A polished surface reflects light, which deepens the colour and makes veining read stronger.
It shows water spots and fingerprints more readily on dark colours than on light ones.
Quartz Series from our own production. See the Quartz Series range.
A smooth matt surface with no ridges. It suits low-maintenance, high-traffic work where a mirror finish would show every mark.
Honed surfaces mute the colour slightly compared with polished, so approve a honed sample rather than a polished one of the same code.
A textured finish developed by the R&D team. The texture hides fingerprints, water spots and smudges, which is why it is chosen for busy family kitchens, vanities and outdoor applications.
Choose the finish before choosing the colour if maintenance is the client's main concern. The finish changes the perceived colour more than most buyers expect.
All three finishes are available across the quartz programme.
How the three engineered surfaces differ in body, heat behaviour and where each one belongs in a project.
Thickness decides edge detail, handling weight and support requirements. Both are standard in our production.
The order sequence we use, from first sample through to a loaded container.
What to tell an end client after installation, and what to keep away from the surface.
Two ways to get the same look, with very different programme and cost profiles.
Three ways to specify white, and how to avoid the warm-cast problem on large areas.
Codes exist so the same slab can be produced twice. Here is how to use them properly.
What arrives at your yard, and what to confirm before the container is packed.
Yes. Email [email protected] with the application, the exposure conditions and the look you are after.
Free samples go to distributors, builders and countertop factories. Testing a physical sample beats any article, including this one.
Engineered quartz at 93% quartz content, artificial marble, terrazzo, porcelain, sintered stone and nano glass, all on our own site in Nanyang.
Send the application and the exposure conditions and we will tell you which surface fits.
