Quartz slabs are crafted by combining crushed quartz of different sizes with pigments and a binding resin. This process ensures that the quartz particles are mixed thoroughly, resulting in a consistent blend. The addition of pigments allows for a wide range of color options, enabling you to choose the perfect shade to complement your space. The resin acts as a binder, effectively holding the quartz together, creating a strong and durable surface. The precise combination of crushed quartz, pigments, and resin results in slabs that are both durable and beautiful.
Did a beautiful job on our countertops, including a waterfall island and a mitered edge for our bathroom vanity. Excellent work takes time and they are worth the wait. This is the second kitchen Magic City has done for us and we would use them again in a heartbeat. They also were $10k cheaper than their largest competitor in Billings on our project.
Quartz is versatile and suitable for installation in various interior environments, including both commercial and residential settings. Its durability, aesthetic appeal, and low maintenance requirements make it an excellent choice for kitchen countertops, bathroom vanities, backsplashes, and other interior applications. Quartz is not recommended for outdoor spaces.
Quartz is produced in a vast array of colors, offering a diverse selection to suit various design preferences. What sets quartz apart is the meticulous manufacturing process that ensures exceptional color consistency from one slab to another. The colors of quartz are carefully controlled during production, resulting in consistent and uniform hues. This consistency allows for seamless integration when multiple slabs are used in the same project, ensuring a harmonious and cohesive aesthetic throughout your space.
Compared to granite, quartz generally exhibits a lower gloss level, primarily attributed to the resin content within the material. The presence of resin in quartz slabs contributes to a more consistent finish across the entire surface, without the natural variations that can be found in granite, such as pitting or fissures. This uniformity in the finish of quartz provides a sleek and polished appearance that adds a touch of elegance to any space. Whether you prefer a more subdued or refined look, quartz offers a reliable and visually appealing option that is both durable and easy to maintain.
It's important to note that quartz surfaces are more susceptible to damage from heat exposure and harsh chemicals compared to other countertop materials. To protect your quartz countertop from potential heat-related issues, it is recommended to use a trivet or heat-resistant pad between hot objects and the surface.
It is common for seams to be visible. The visibility and feel of seams can vary depending on the color of the quartz. While seams may be seen, skilled craftsmanship and proper installation techniques can minimize their appearance and create a more seamless and cohesive look. Our experienced team at Magic City Granite ensures meticulous attention to detail during installation to achieve the best possible result and create a visually pleasing countertop surface.
Quartz is a non-porous material which makes it highly resistant to staining, eliminating the need for sealing in most cases. This makes quartz a convenient and hassle-free option for countertops and surfaces in various applications.
To ensure proper care and maintenance of your quartz surfaces, it is recommended to use a soft cloth dampened with a gentle soap and water solution. This simple and effective cleaning method helps to remove everyday dirt and grime, keeping your quartz looking its best for years to come.
