I work at Trindco and I never knew these slabs were hand made like that. I knew they were man made but people actually hand mold the veining that’s pretty cool. These always come out pretty nice. Hard to tell the difference with some of them though like Miami vena
I work at a granite shop and 90 percent of our production is now quarts. I honestly hate it but after this I have a bit more appreciation for the quarts industry. didn't know exac5 how they were made but it all makes sense now. as long as it's not MSI slabs I'll have a better out look towards quarts in the future
hi yes, quartz now is a trend, very happy that this video can help you know more story about quartz. We have our own quartz brand, not MSI, if you need quartz in the future, feel free to contact us by: info@fuleistone.com
It’s awesome to see this made. I always wondered how scratch resistant it is compared to other processes. I would obviously use a cutting board to keep it safe, but seeing a lot of cooking videos with what seems to be quartz with pro cooks cutting directly on the surface with no scratches whatsoever made me wonder… 🤔
If I am not mistaken quartz hardness is 7. just three units lower than the hardest material on earth: the diamond which has a hardness of 10. So quartz is pretty scratch resistant.
Well as a fabricator for about 20 years to me it scratches easier that granite, but not as easy as marble. Polishing on the surface is a different animal.
It's mostly epoxy and resin with bits of quartz mixed in. A Dimond saw will go though this like butter where granite is MUCH harder and takes much longer to cut with a Dimond blade. Pure, Solid quartz , is very strong though. Much, much more expensive then these slabs though.
If you do all the veins by hand ,how do you get the same identical slabs ? Been doing stone for 20+ yrs and have never seen this process, very kool. Nice slabs
do you have any recommendations for a Calacatta White with brown hues? We are having a hard time finding in GA. Would need them to fabricate, I have an installer.
Why is it so difficult getting quartz vendors to sell slabs ("from the same lot") that color match. We order multiple slabs at a time that are usually numbered in sequence but rarely ever match in color.. some really white some off white etc. same material might I add
You can try, Baking soda paste. Make a paste of baking soda and water and apply it to the scratch with a soft cloth. Gently rub the paste onto the scratch using small circular motions. Rinse well with water and dry with a soft cloth. Repeat if needed. The fine grit of baking soda can help buff out surface scratches.
hi, quartz is stronger than granite, and granite is stronger than marble. It can last for more than 30 years, until you don't like it and want to change new lol
@@FuleiStonei have granite countertops in my kitchen and was told that it holds heat better than quartz and was advised to go with granite rather than quartz; is that something you would agree with?
hi, good to know that, we have many popular and new designs of calacutta quartz, if you like, we can send our catalogue and price list for you. please leave your email address and phone number at your convenience, or you may contact us by what's app: +86 15980326860, thank you!
Just another reasons to purchase fine natural granite countertops for your home - it's like comparing a beautifully constructed mahogany table to those made with pressed board and wood laminate. Sadly, many people don't know the difference, are easily duped, or don't appreciate real quality. But enjoy your manufactured thingy.
If you're interested in buying quartz stone or powder then connect me. There's a plenty of quartz stone underneath of the mountain which is covered by 100 acres of land .
Natural stone such as granite is porous and therefore easy to stain. Granite also has pits. So granite require a sealant coating which quartz doesn't. And granite is much easier to damage. Marble is even more porous than granite and also requires a sealant.The sealant makes granite and marble easier to scratch.
@@splotbang8296 Quartz is made from 7% epoxy, Quartz slabs are very easy to bend even in manufacturing units if slabs stay more then a week in stock it get bend from edges as for marble and granite this issue are not there we sell all three, marble, granite and Quartz but best reviews we get from our clients are for granite then marble and at last for Quartz, no matter what Natural is best option
@@64A64B2WEST All three have pros and cons. For cooking counter tops, quartz reduced propensity to stain is a plus over marble. If you have kids prone to spilling or teenagers who don't clean up after cooking, then quartz can be for you. Bending of quartz is an issue for manufacturers moreso than for customers. I would not purchase a bent slab and if I purchased a quartz countertop I would make sure it's properly installed so as not to bend. That said, I prefer a stainless steel countertop. Highly heat resistant, no sealing, no fracturing, no chipping, non porous, easy to clean, cheaper and I like the look (personal preference of course).
@@splotbang8296 I've seen engineered stone stain or scratch quite easily. But the market has switched to mainly MQ stone and Flat edges. We still cut some granite but mainly MQ now.
