From now on, you can also find the Nero Marquinia marble design in the form of quartz. Due to the high content of natural quartz in its composition (95%), synthetic quartz stone is extremely scratch-resistant, and is therefore recommended as a long-lasting solution for kitchen countertops, bar tops, bathroom sink tops, and dining or living room table tops. The polymer resins that bind quartz crystals give this material a certain level of elasticity, which, combined with the hardness of quartz, contributes to its resistance to various impacts that may occur in everyday use. It is non-porous and therefore does not absorb various liquids that it may come into contact with in the kitchen, such as coffee, tea, vinegar, oil, milk, wine, carbonated drinks, etc. The material is also resistant to very high temperatures (up to 150°C). Important to know: There is no material that is completely resistant to scratches and absorption, so careful handling is recommended for quartz, as with all other materials. Although it is resistant to high temperatures, it is not advisable to apply hot objects directly to its surface, but it is necessary to place something under the hot object and then lay it on the quartz.
