Technistone® is made using a combination of 93 % Quartz, Quartz Silica,
Granite or Recycled Mirror*, combined with 7 % resin, colors and binders. This
mixture is pressed into 52” X 120” sheets using a unique and proprietary
vibration-vacuum-compression process. The sheets are then heat treated,
cooled, ground (calibrated) and polished to a high gloss shine. Each sheet is
then individually inspected under bright lighting for any flaws or possible
defects. Our quality control standards are your assurance that Technistone is
the finest material available for your Quartz surfacing needs.
Unlike Granite, Technistone® is much stronger having a flexural strength
of over 4 times that of natural stone. Technistone is 99.9% solid; zero
porosity means no place for dangerous bacteria or microorganisms such as
salmonella to grow and accumulate. Oil, sodas, wine, water and common
household chemicals have no effect on Technistone. Technistone is literally a
“Super-natural stone”. Unlike plastic based Solid Surface materials like
Corian®, Technistone is highly scratch and heat resistant. Technistone comes
standard with an easy to maintain high gloss finish not possible with solid
surface.
