Quartz Slabs
Quartz slabs, also known as quartz countertops or engineered quartz, are a popular and versatile choice for various surfaces in residential and commercial spaces. These slabs are engineered stone products made from a combination of crushed natural quartz crystals, resins, polymers, and pigments. The result is a highly durable, non-porous, and visually appealing material that offers a wide range of benefits.
Quartz slabs come in a range of colors, from classic whites and grays to bold, vibrant hues. Many quartz manufacturers offer a range of color options that mimic the look of natural stone, such as marble and granite. Quartz slabs can also feature a variety of patterns, such as veining, speckling, and swirling, to create a unique and custom look.
Quartz Slab Sizes
Quartz slabs come in various sizes to accommodate different kitchen layouts and design preferences. The standard sizes for quartz slabs are typically available in length, width, and thickness measurements. Here are some common quartz slab sizes:
The length of quartz slabs can range from around 108 inches (274 cm) to 130 inches (330 cm). Longer slabs are generally preferred for larger kitchen islands or countertops that require fewer seams, providing a more seamless and visually appealing look.
The width of quartz slabs is typically available in various increments, with standard sizes falling within the range of 52 inches (132 cm) to 65 inches (165 cm) .
Quartz slabs are commonly available in three main thicknesses:
- 1 cm (around 0.39 inches): This is a thinner option and is often used for vertical applications like wall cladding or backsplashes.
- 2 cm (around 0.79 inches): This is a standard thickness for kitchen countertops and most horizontal applications. It provides sufficient strength and durability for regular kitchen use.
- 3 cm (around 1.18 inches): This thicker option is popular for heavy-duty applications or designs that require a more substantial presence. It is commonly used for kitchen islands or waterfall edges.
In addition to the standard sizes, we offer custom sizes to accommodate specific kitchen layouts or unique design requirements. These custom sizes are typically available upon request and may incur additional costs.
Quartz Slab Applications
Quartz slabs are a popular choice for a range of interior and exterior applications, including countertops, flooring, wall cladding, and decorative accents. Quartz is a durable and non-porous material that is resistant to stains, scratches, and heat, making it an ideal material for high-traffic areas and busy kitchens and bathrooms.
Quartz Slab Maintenance
When selecting quartz slabs for a project, it’s important to consider factors such as durability, maintenance, and cost. While quartz is a durable and low-maintenance material, it may not be as heat-resistant as other natural stone options, such as granite or marble. As such, it’s important to use trivets and hot pads to protect quartz countertops from heat damage.
In terms of maintenance, quartz is resistant to stains and scratches as it is a non-porous material. However, it’s important to wipe up spills and stains as soon as possible to prevent them from setting in. To clean quartz, simply use a soft cloth and mild soap and water.
Quartz Slab Cost
In terms of cost, quartz is generally more affordable just as natural stone options, such as marble and granite. However, the cost of quartz can vary depending on the color, pattern, and manufacturer.
