What Is Quartz And How Are Quartz Countertops Made?
You may be a bit confused in that there are granite
countertops and quartz countertops. As discussed above, granite is a type of
rock that is partially composed of quartz, a mineral. Therefore, what exactly is
a quartz countertop? You may initially think that a quartz countertop would be
composed of a quartz arenite, a rock made up of at least 90% quartz. This may
remind you of a white sandy beach with a few brown and pink specs. The natural
sorting of quartz on beaches is driven by mineral strength (I'll get to that
below) and their differential weathering rates. As weaker minerals weather and
erode relatively quicker than quartz, you are left with quartz as a predominant
mineral in well weathered sediment systems (i.e. beaches) far from sediment
source (i.e. mountains).
I have read many blogs on the net regarding quartz countertops findlay but have never come across such a well written article on this topic I am happy to find out such a blog.
