Today, let us know some easy ways to tell the real quality quartz stone to get high value.

Quartz stone countertops, are one kind of high-tech artificial stone composed of small quartz, wide ranges of color and texture similar to natural stone. Quartz stone has no radiation, can be recycled, which is one new type of interior decoration material to be widely used in kitchen countertops, bathroom vanity, wall cladding, table top, tea desk, window sill and other cases.

The gloss quartz surface is processed and polished after over 30 steps, which will last for a long time use. Real quality quartz stone does good at hardness, corrosion-resistance, heat-resistance. Even the countertop will not damaged by a knife cutting. Also, quartz stone can be resistant to acid liquid to have a long service life.

Quartz stone countertops is so hard for most quartz stone composed of 93% quartz volume. It is not easy to have crack and good at wear-resistance. Just use one knife to cut the top when you buy the countertops.

Tip 4: Heat-resistance test

If the resin of the quartz stone is high, then its heat-resistance will be not good. So you can use the lighter to burn the sample for a while if the countertops have trace.
