A designer's most important task is selecting the correct material that combines form, function, cost and customer satisfaction. Whether it's a project for a residential property, a hospitality establishment or a commercial setting the use of quartz stone is never absent from a designer's agenda, the fact that quartz stone is engineered offers it elements and strengths unavailable in natural stone. Here are some of the key benefits that the use of quartz stone offers the designer:
Unmatched Design Versatility
Quartz stone can be supplied to the designer in an immense variety of colors, patterns, and finishes that range from clean, sterile white to a cool gray, an aggressive charcoal black and even a classic navy blue. It can mimic natural stone such as the delicate veining that characterizes marble and the dappled pattern of granite, or the fresh modern look of concrete. Perhaps the most important benefit for the designer here, quartz is uniform, allowing the designer to have identical pieces of a particular color and pattern from one slab to another- crucial when dealing with large projects requiring identical materials. This material can be engineered into virtually any desired form- countertops, curved reception desks, waterfalls and even integral sinks.
Superior Durability for Long - Lasting Installations
A well designed home or space should be able to stand the test of time and its designer should select materials that look good long term. Quartz stone has outstanding durability as a scratch resistant and stain proof material as it is non-porous and can handle a high volume of use-perfect for kitchens, bathrooms, and commercial properties with heavy use. It is also not as porous as natural stone which is prone to etching and should be re-sealed frequently, this property means less maintenance and less call-backs for an individual designer, it is especially suitable for rental properties, hotels and restaurant owners where appearance and wear-and-tear is paramount. Property developers will find that the use of quartz provides a long-term benefit and return for the client.
Hygienic and Low Maintenance
With clients increasingly aware of hygiene issues this property of quartz stone is a major advantage; its non-porous structure will inhibit the spread of bacteria and spillages will stay on the surface for easier cleaning, using common cleaning agents. There is no need to re-seal it like natural stone saving the owner wasted time and expenditure on upkeep and maintenance, these are excellent properties for a clinic, hotel or family home to incorporate and allow quartz stone to excel as a bathroom and kitchen material as mold and mildew are also less likely to grow. It's always a benefit when an owner can have time and money saved.
Sustainable and Cost - Effective
Eco-conscious and budget-driven clients will be delighted to hear of the sustainability and cost-effectiveness of quartz stone. Being manufactured from natural quartz mixed with a resin compound (that may contain elements of recycled material) the material has significantly less environmental impact compared to the excavation of natural stone and can often carry environmental certification. Designers may now rest assured that they are meeting clients' desires for sustainable materials while fulfilling green building guidelines. Furthermore quartz stone has a predictable cost that will never fluctuate like natural stone and while the initial price may be comparable to a medium-grade natural stone, its low maintenance and excellent longevity means a lower cost per year over the lifetime of the building and the client has something to appreciate.
