Kvartsitasot

Kvartsitasot, often referred to as quartz countertops, are a popular choice for kitchen and bathroom surfaces. They are engineered stone products made from a composite of natural quartz crystals and polymer resins. The manufacturing process involves crushing natural quartz, mixing it with resins, pigments, and other additives, and then compressing and heating the mixture under high pressure. This results in a durable and non-porous material.

The main component of kvartsitasot is quartz, which typically makes up 90-95% of the material. This high concentration of quartz contributes to its exceptional hardness and resistance to scratching and chipping. The resins bind the quartz particles together, providing flexibility and preventing the material from cracking. Pigments are added to achieve a wide range of colors and patterns, often mimicking the appearance of natural stones like granite or marble, but with greater consistency.

Kvartsitasot are known for their low maintenance. Their non-porous nature means they are resistant to stains from liquids like wine, coffee, and oil, and do not require sealing. They are also hygienic as they do not harbor bacteria. Cleaning is typically straightforward, often involving mild soap and water. While highly durable, extreme heat can potentially damage the resin components, so the use of trivets is recommended for hot pots and pans. The manufacturing process allows for precise control over the final product, leading to consistent quality and a vast array of aesthetic options suitable for various design preferences.
