iQuartz

iQuartz surfaces products are gaining in popularity and are sometimes preferred over granite products because engineered stone requires less maintenance.

The colour and texture of its surface is more consistent than natural stones making it easier to control. It is typically stronger in flexibility and hardness, and less porous, than natural stone. Its polyester resin binding agents allow some flexibility, preventing cracking under flexural pressure making it easier to manhandle. It is also more resistant to mould and mildew then traditional stone making it more hygienic.

It is uniform in structure leading to inherent strength making it easier to fabricate, whereas natural stone may by-nature contain fissures, cracks, or weaknesses in structure.
