Description:
When the bee hive hair doo was popular, so was formica. Now that were over that fad there is a new contender, one that looks like its here to stay. Wood countertops came and went (thankfully). Recycled glass is here now, but thanks to it's reliability, its popularity will likely barely outlast the counters themselves. Stainless counters are the cheap unactractive option, unless you're working in the back of a restaurant kitchen. Then there was granite, which is still quite popular, and a lovely option depending on your specific needs. Now theres a new product around town... engineered stone, more commonly known as quartz. With its revolutionary features and durability, quartz is here to stay. Whichever form of stone best suits your needs, Fuze Stone is ready to supply you with!
About Us
-Quartz is naturally hard and scratch resistant, ranking a 7.0 on Moh's Hardness Scale, which is used to measure the scratch resistance of a material. Only diamonds, ranking 10, topaz, and sapphire are harder than quartz. Granite is ranked at a level 6.
-Quartz counters are manufactured with nearly 100 percent quartz. In contrast, granite may contain only 50 percent quartz leaving it soft, porous, and vulnerable to scratches and stains. Industry wide, all quartz countertops are made with 93 percent quartz or they cannot claim the hardness, durability, or impermeability of a true quartz surface. The prescribed mixture results in a product that is nonporous, exceedingly durable, and more than twice as strong as granite.
Unlike granite,formica, and marble, which can be permanently stained by cooking oils and grease, or which can be etched by the acids in such common household products as hairspray and other toiletries, engineered stone is impervious to these hazards.
-While granite is subject to unpredictable variations in color or pattern between slabs, making matching of sections of a countertop difficult, engineered stone is uniform in color, pattern, and texture. It provides nearly all of the benefits of natural stone but with few of the drawbacks. Uniformity is naturally appealing to the human eye, this makes quartz an ideal choice for large kitchens, bathrooms, or businesses.
-Quartz countertops are tough enough for the wear and tear on just about any interior surface.
Engineered stone won't develop fissure tears or cracks and remains impervious to water, moisture, or bacteria. This makes quartz a much more sound choice for people located in dry soil areas that are vulnerable to foundation issues.
-There is no safer food preparation surface on the market today. This product resists stains, and is nonporous so typically, bacteria cannot grow on this surface.
