QUARTZ

About Quartz countertops are made from natural minerals and as a result, variations in color, shade, pat tern, veining, and size are unique traits and to be expected. Additionally, small blotches or random distribution of particulates and directional veining are an inherent part of the overall design and composition and not considered to be defects or product non-conformity. How it’s Made Quartz countertops are made through a man-made process that involves combining and com pressing crushed quartz crystals with resins, polymers, and pigments. Quartz Benefits

• Hygienic: Non-porous surface prevents unwelcome germs, bacteria and mildew. • Polished: Lustrous surface does not require sealing, conditioning or polishing. • Honed: Commonly referred to as matte, this finish provides a low sheen appearance and may feel lightly textured to the touch. • Durable: Scratch, heat and stain resistant. Things to Know • Seams: A seam is a border/transition line between two pieces of countertops that is filled with a color matching epoxy/glue.

A majority of countertop materials WILL HAVE visible seams without directional/veining, except for Solid Surface colors.
