In the hospitality and hotel industry surfaces must be attractive and extremely hard wearing. Surfaces at hotels and resorts must be able to withstand all the foot traffic, regular cleaning, accidental damage and spills, while maintaining a luxurious and high-end feel. These are the reasons Quartz stone is so popular amongst the hotel developers, interior designers, procurement managers, architects and property owners globally. Read why:
Exceptional Durability for High-Traffic Areas
The use of a hotel lobby, reception desk, dining table and vanity surfaces in bathrooms is continuous. These surfaces could see hundreds of people each day, with them leaning on it, spilling on it and scratching on it. Natural stones such as granite will stain or scorch with time and marble will etch from contact with some liquids.
Quartz stone is a high performance man-made stone. Made from 90-93% crushed natural quartz blended with a high level of polymer resin, Quartz surfaces are non-porous and have a high resistance to stains, scratches, and damage. They have no tendency to etch and do not need to be sealed. Their resistance to stains and scratches as well as cleaning chemicals means that they require minimum maintenance.
Hygienic and Easy to Clean
There is more than ever an increased awareness of hygiene in the hospitality sector. The health and satisfaction of guests is paramount and it is important that all surfaces are kept clean and easy to clean and maintain properly while guests are present. Due to the non-porous surface of quartz it does not absorb liquid nor does it allow bacteria to penetrate the stone. All spills on a Quartz surface stay on the surface and can be easily wiped with regular cleaners.
Unlike natural stone surfaces, Quartz surfaces don't require frequent resealing and resealing could cause tiny holes where liquids may seep in over time. Thus, Quartz is a perfect material for Hotel/Resort bathroom countertops, Kitchenette countertops and Buffet countertops, with very high standards of hygiene. Ease of cleaning greatly benefits the staff during those critical times.
Wide Range of Consistent Designs
For the hotel industry, including hotel chains, there are times when complete uniformity of design and colour in their different hotels and even in each hotel, is necessary. There is natural variation among natural stones and finding enough stone to achieve a uniform look may be very difficult and time consuming, raising the price and labor of using natural stones. Each and every piece of quartz stone made is the same color and consistency as all the other pieces in the batch or order made.
Quartz is available in a vast range of colours – all the spectrum whether white, grey, black or earth tones – and veining and patterns like marble, granite and concrete makes it easy and consistent to match a particular look. The uniformity and matching properties of quartz enable a consistent brand image to be conveyed throughout a hotel.
Cost - Effective Lifecycle Value
While quartz can be found at the high end of the price range like mid-price natural stones, it may end up being more affordable than other surfaces over the course of its life, because it needs less upkeep, requires fewer replacements, and has lower repair costs. Hotel purchase teams with large budgets understand the value of having a product that has a well-defined lifecycle and is predictable.
This reduces waste, and is faster to install than natural stone as it is not as brittle, which makes it easier to cut and work with. The importers and installers also get the advantage of having constant pricing in Quartz stone supply as opposed to that of the natural stones market which can be quite volatile, depending on the origin from which they import the stones from the different quarries.
Summary
Hotel and hospitality projects require the best in the way of durability, hygienic properties, consistent design and life cycle value, thus, quartz stone is the first choice for this type of projects. The product's superior surface performance and its superior aesthetics makes it the ultimate surface for heavy duty commercial use. Xiamen Nishi Group Co., Ltd, using its high performance processing machines, provides the finest quality quartz stones, in addition to marbles, granite, travertine, artificial marbles, luxury stones, stone monuments, carvings, craft products, nano stones and basalts.
