All About Quartz
Quartz is the most common mineral on Earth, making up approximately 12% of the Earth's crust by volume. Found in a variety of geological environments, it is known for its durability and natural beauty. Quartz countertops are made from natural quartz, combined with pigments and resins. HanStone quartz slabs are comprised of up to 93% raw quartz, mixed with colour and resin, resulting in a strong, versatile surface ideal for both residential and commercial applications.
Why Choose Quartz
Strong, resilient, and aesthetically beautiful, HanStone quartz is the ideal choice for kitchen and bathroom countertops. As the fourth hardest crystalline mineral on Earth, quartz ranks at 7 on the Mohs scale of hardness. When combined with resins and pigments, it forms a durable, non-porous surface that is highly resistant to scratches, stains, and cracks—making it an excellent choice for kitchen and bathroom countertops.
Quartz countertops are a popular choice thanks to their durability, visual appeal, and low maintenance requirements. Made from a combination of natural quartz, resins, and pigments, they form a non-porous, stain-resistant, and easy-to-clean surface. Unlike natural stone options like granite or marble, quartz countertops do not require sealing, making them a smart, long-lasting investment.
HanStone, a leading premium quartz surface brand, harnesses these natural advantages to deliver elegant, reliable countertops, making it the natural choice for both residential and commercial spaces.
