Quartz Countertops
 The process to convert quartz to a slab/countertop was patented by Breton,
an Italian company, and is used by all companies which manufacture engineered stone. This manufacturing process uses raw quartz crystals ranging in size from
coarse grains to the size of rock salt. Once the quartz is ground and selected, the crystals are combined with bonding agents
(resin) and color, then heated and vibro-compacted to form an impenetrable
surface. The resulting slabs are a matrix of 93% quartz and 7% resin binders and pigments
... free of fissures and cracks, and impervious to water, moisture, or bacteria.
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 non-porous, exceedingly durable, and more than twice as strong as granite and less likely to break during fabrication.
