Product
Quartz is a naturally occurring material from all corners of the world. Due to its extreme hardness and resistance, it is used in a variety of applications that require precision and top-quality performance.

This type of quartz forms the main component in Colorquartz surfaces, allowing it to be non-porous, stain resistant, and maintenance free. Hygiene is one of the most important characteristics of Colorquartz. Due to the non-porous nature of the material, there is nowhere for molds and mildew to contaminate. This is a disadvantage with other types of surfaces, such as granite and marble. Colorquartz, on the other hand, is naturally antibacterial allowing for easy cleanup—just add soap and water.

Colorquartz's R&D has led the company to manufacturing durable quartz surfaces, while enabling control of the color and texture of the surfaces. Thus, a wide variety of 60 colors and samples may be offered.

Production
Colorquartz owns and operates 90,000 m2 of manufacturing across 4 factories with 8 production lines.It includes the administration offices, four production departments, R&D laboratory, and three sheltered warehouses for slab inventory.

Using a custom-designed vibro-compression vacuum process, Colorquartz can be produced to custom sizes and thickness including regular and jumbo sized slabs.
