QUARTZ-COUNTERTOPS.ORG

Quartz is a hard mineral that forms in clusters rather than large pieces of stone. Therefore, it cannot be cut into slabs, but it works well when crushed. Quartz countertops are produced by combining ground natural quartz with a resin plus binders and the desired colorant. A ratio of 93% quartz to 7% resin is generally used. Different appearances are achieved by the level of fineness to which the quartz is ground. Coarsely ground granules produce a more flecked appearance, while finely ground quartz produces an even-grained look to the final countertop...
