Quantum Quartz are excited to have now released a brand new collection called “Natural Quartz Collection.” This collection has been created to imitate some of the most popular Marbles available, Calacutta, Carrara, Carrara Gioia, Empire Satin and Crema Marfil.

Marble carries a high level of calcium carbonate making it softer than Quartz. In many cases it is not the most suitable material to use as a kitchen bench top, although it is the most desired with its striking veins.

Marble normally comes with no warranty and can be prone to etching, staining and scratching.

Quantum Quartz has engineered these popular Marbles into a quartz base which contains no calcium carbonate making it a lot harder and etch, scratch and stain resistant, suitable for any indoor bench top or cladding application. These products also come with the Quantum Quartz 10 Year Limited Warranty and should also keep the quotation costs down from there Marble counterparts, giving you more money to spend on other renovations.

To see these products for yourself please feel free to drop into The Marble and Granite Fitters Cairns at 12 Redden St, Portsmith and speak to the friendly staff.

Marble has been desired by many people and companies. To use for their bars, reception counters and kitchens and bathrooms of choice, although with the calcium carbonate levels being so high in Marble, many have deemed it “unsuitable” for their needs as it can be prone to etching, scratching and staining when used as a top.

With this knowledge Quantum Quartz are very excited to release a superb alternative. They have released their new colour “Carrara Quartz” which has been produced to look like a Marble. You can finally have the Marble look you have always wanted with the durability Quantum Quartz offers (etch free and scratch, stain resistant.) With the correct design and edge detailing “Carrara Quartz” has the versatility to suit the funkiest of bars right through to the traditional kitchens of heritage homes.
