Resistant to Stains
Quartz is a non-porous surface which is highly resistant to stains from coffee, wine, lemon juice, oil, vinegar, make-up & many other daily-use products.
Resistant to Scratching
Quartz is one of the hardest minerals that exists. This makes the product very durable, with a high level of resistance to external damage.
Resistant to Impacts
The high level of resistance to impacts allows very hard objects (pots, trays, etc.) to be handled with total ease.
Quartz is a man-made product consisting of approximately 93% quartz and 7% glues and resins to hold it together. As a result, quartz is very consistent in color from slab to slab; it does vary from lot to lot. Quartz is most commonly used for countertops but can be used for much more.
The advantages of Quartz are numerous. Quartz is low maintenance and has a high resistance to stains and scratches, as well as a low liquid absorption rate. Quartz nearly indestructible surface is stain, scorch and scratch resistant. With a very low absorption w liquid absorption index and a minimal number of joints, Quartz is perfect for spaces where liquid exists.
Quartz is resistant and continues to be enjoyed over time, going beyond the surface.
It is manufactured in thousands of different colors, numerous textures and various formats, making it highly versatile. Colors range from muted tones
that are generally associated with natural stone to vibrant colors that are not found in nature.
Quartz color uniformity and consistency allows for an unlimited number of edge details including but not limited to: bevel, ogee, bullnose and waterfall. It is also malleable enough to be used in large pieces without requiring joints. Quartz is the perfect choice for kitchen, bathroom, flooring, cladding
At Jerry’s Floor Store we match the slabs used in each project for color and grain consistency.
The method used for joining adjacent pieces is a straight butt joint. Straight butt joints involve
adjoining the cut edge of one piece to the matched cut edge of the adjacent piece. This method helps ensure that front-finished edges line up correctly. Epoxy resin is used to adjoin seamed pieces. These seams can be seen and felt, however, we color match the epoxy resin to your tops.
We do not make corner angle joints (miter joints), as frequently done with laminate countertops.
Care
&
Maintenance
Quartz should be cared for like any other countertop material. For daily cleaning, mild dish soap and water can be used. A nice quality of quartz is its stain resistance and non-porous structure eliminating the need to be sealed.
There are only three natural products harder than quartz: topaz, sapphire, and diamond. This leads to quartz being scratch-resistant, but not scratch-proof. Keep in mind, like any other product, with excessive force or pressure, the surface could be scratched.
Quartz is also heat resistant, but not heatproof. This means that quartz can handle limited exposure to heat. With the use of electric skillets or hot pots, we recommend that a trivet or hot pad be used to avoid thermal shock
