Therefore, quartz stone countertops are not easy to deform or damage in the process of use, with high durability.
High temperature resistance
Quartz stone is a typical refractory material, its melting point is above 1300 degrees, can play a completely flame retardant effect, will not be contact with high temperatures and spontaneous combustion. At the same time, quartzite has a certain ability to withstand high temperatures, but prolonged direct contact with high-temperature objects may lead to discoloration or damage, requiring a little attention.

Good processing performance
Marble has excellent processing performance, such as sawing, cutting, grinding, drilling, carving, etc., can meet the needs of a variety of complex shapes.
However, marble also has some limitations. For example, the porous material is easy to absorb liquids and stains, and needs to be glazed regularly to prevent stain penetration; higher hardness but lower abrasion resistance, which is easy to scratch or abrasion; as well as the price is usually more expensive and requires more maintenance and care in the process of use.
