How quartz worktops are made?

Natural quartz crystals, resins, colors, and additives are combined to create quartz worktops, which are engineered stone surfaces. Several crucial steps are included in the production process:

1. Selection of Raw Materials: Premium quartz crystals undergo meticulous selection and inspection to ensure their purity, clarity, and size. The main part of the worktop is made up of these stones.
2. Mixing Quartz and Resin: The selected quartz crystals are combined with a small amount of resin, usually acrylic or polyester polymer. This mixture produces a surface that is strong and impermeable. At this stage, pigments and additives can be applied based on the desired color or design.
3. Pressing and Molding: After that, the combined slurry is compressed using a specific high-pressure and vacuum method to create slabs of consistent thickness. This preserves the structural integrity of the material and aids in the removal of air pockets.
4. Curing: The freshly created slabs are heated to a particular temperature during the curing process. In order to create a stable and firm surface, this step aids in the resin's binding with the quartz particles.
5. Calibration and Polishing: The slabs are calibrated to achieve exact thickness and flatness after curing. After that, the surfaces are polished using diamond abrasive pads to give them the matte, glossy, or textured finish that they want.
6. Quality Control: Before each slab is cleared for distribution, it is carefully examined for flaws, color consistency, and general quality.
7. Cutting and Fabrication: After the slabs pass quality inspections, they are sliced into different shapes and sizes to meet the specifications needed for worktops, countertops, and other uses. At this point, edges could also be profiled or curved.

Quartz worktops' engineered nature offers a number of benefits, including as exceptional durability, stain, heat, and scratch resistance, in addition to a broad range of colors and patterns to accommodate a variety of design tastes. Customization is possible with this production process, which also guarantees constant performance and quality in the final product. Read more
