Quartz/Artificial Stone Information

Premium Quartz Surfaces — A Perfect Union of Strength, Elegance, and Innovation

At Ermistone Marble & Travertine, we proudly offer an exceptional line of Quartz (Engineered Stone) surfaces that combine the enduring power of natural quartz with cutting-edge manufacturing techniques. Designed for both functionality and luxury, our quartz surfaces are the ideal choice for modern interiors that demand durability, consistency, and refined aesthetics.

Quartz is an engineered material composed of approximately 90–95% pure quartz crystals, bound with advanced polymer resins and high-performance pigments. This synthesis creates a surface that is harder than natural stone, non-porous, stain-resistant, and remarkably easy to maintain — making it an ideal solution for kitchens, bathrooms, flooring, and wall applications.

Key Features & Advantages

• Exceptional Durability:
  With a compressive strength ranging from 150 to 240 MPa and flexural strength between 40 and 58 MPa, our quartz surfaces offer superior resistance to cracking, pressure, and mechanical stress.

• Hardness & Scratch Resistance:
  Rated 6–7 on the Mohs scale, our quartz stands up to daily wear, resisting scratches, scuffs, and abrasion from common household items.

• Low Water Absorption:
  With a water absorption rate as low as 0.03%, the material is effectively non-porous, ensuring maximum hygiene and stain resistance — ideal for food preparation areas.

• Thermal Stability:
  Featuring a coefficient of linear thermal expansion of 40 x 10⁻⁶ m/m°C, our quartz remains stable under varying temperature conditions and is perfectly suitable for kitchen use.

• Chemical Resistance:
  Fully resistant to common chemical acids and household cleaners, it maintains its color, shine, and integrity over time — even in the most demanding environments.

• Dimensional Stability:
  Classified as Class A, our quartz slabs ensure long-term dimensional integrity, reducing the risk of warping or shifting after installation.

• Surface Wear Resistance:
  With deep wear resistance of 4.6 x 10⁻³ g/cm², our surfaces are engineered for longevity even under heavy use in high-traffic areas.

Available Slab Sizes & Thickness Options

To accommodate a wide range of project requirements, we offer quartz slabs in the following dimensions:

• 305 x 144 cm

• 320 x 152 cm

• 324 x 162 cm

Each size is available in 2 cm and 3 cm thickness options, allowing for design flexibility and application versatility across residential and commercial settings.

Applications

Our quartz surfaces are perfect for a variety of applications, including:

• Kitchen countertops and backsplashes

• Bathroom vanities and wall cladding

• Flooring and staircases

• Commercial surfaces in hotels, restaurants, and retail spaces
