Description
Elegant, while at the same time heat resistant, scratch resistant and stain resistant, SM Quartz is the ideal surface for high traffic and everyday use. Crafted from quartz sands and carefully selected resins that undergo an intense manufacturing, grading and polishing process, SM Quartz complies with the strict international standards required for the food industry and safe indoor environments. It is ideal for a wide variety of applications, from prestigious, large open commercial spaces to intimately detailed interior design solutions in kitchens, bathrooms, flooring and more. SM Quartz countertops feature high scratch resistance, low water absorption and high chemical resistance. When compared to other quartz surfaces, our polished finish is exceptionally stain resistant and does not retain dirt, making it easy to keep clean. SM Quartz polished surfaces are nonporous and highly resistant to liquids and acids, such as coffee, wine, lemon juice, olive oil, vinegar and makeup.
