Stain resistant

Composite is contrary to granite a non-porous surface and thus more resistant to stains.

When the nature meet invovation

Made from materials in which variations in texture, colour and appearance form part of the finished result. The character of the materials is combined with the functional properties required of a worktop.

Scratch resistance

It natural strength from Quartz makes it is very scratch resistant.

More quartz means more strength

Let one of nature’s toughest elements form the backbone of your kitchen.


‘Composite’ means ‘composed of’ and consists of more than 80 per cent natural quartz mixed with colour pigments. The materials are bound together with resin and moulded into slabs, which are then processed into worktops. Quartz is one of the strongest minerals after gemstones, giving the surface strength and hard-wearing properties for your kitchen.


It is a cool worktop, which is practical for baking as the dough comes away more easily.


Product properties

Product properties for composite

Cleaning

Daily cleaning is done with a damp cloth.

Maintenance

Highly colored foods can discolor light surfaces and should be removed immediately. Quartz withstands most cleaning products, but for thorough cleaning, Q-Action is recommended, since it is a soap with caring components that protects all stone materials and emphasize their natural shine.

If the surface has become stained, it will withstand most detergents as quartz is acid resistant. However, be aware that incorrect cleaning with strong acid/alkaline as; Chlorine, Cillit Bang and similar products may permanently damage the surface (this is not covered by the warranty).

Composite generally remains neat with daily cleaning with a cloth. To remove limescale stains, use a 5% vinegar diluted 1:1 with water.

 

Scratch resistance

Always use a cutting board.

Composite is one of the hardest elements used for making countertops, and a quartz countertop is very scratch resistant. However, some materials that are naturally harder (e.g. steel knives) may damage the surface.

Heat

Composite withstands the impact of brief, moderate heat, but as pots and pans easily exceed the heat limit, trivets or similar are always recommended as high temperatures can cause permanent damage.

Liquid

Composite is a non-porous surface that is highly resistant to stains (including stains from coffee, lemon juice, oil, vinegar, makeup, etc.), however, remove strongly coloured foods/liquids from particularly light-coloured panels as soon as possible, as they can leave permanent stains.

Installations of sinks

Flush mounting in composite

The sink is fitted from above so that the sink’s flange is visible. Please note: Sinks are not 100% flat, so there may be irregularities in the sink flange. It is not possible to use flush-mounted cast sinks in 12 mm.
Please note: The sinks flange and tray takes up space under the countertop.
