If you know a little about stones, you know that they are classified into two categories: natural and artificial stones. When you buy the types of stones needed in construction, the seller will explain to you that you can choose from natural stones such as marble, granite, etc. and artificial stones such as artificial quartz stone, Corinth, etc. Choose the one you like.
Quartz stone, which is one of the most famous artificial stones, is obtained from a mineral called silica. You have probably heard or read in high school chemistry lessons that silica is the second hardest substance in the world. Now consider that something like 90% or to be more precise, 93% of all the constituents of quartz is made up of silica. With this information, we know that artificial quartz stone is a completely hard and resistant stone. The rest of the ingredients of this stone are mineral pigments and resin. In an engineered and factory process, all these materials are combined and become a solid, resistant and hard rock called quartz. During the production process, silica gives all its characteristics to quartz, and this makes quartz a very resistant stone against impact, scratches and wear. So, as you have seen, quartz is produced by combining natural stones with synthetic materials.
Advantages of using quartz
Each of the artificial stones has advantages according to the features and characteristics that are considered for them to be produced. Of course, let's say that the main advantage of using artificial stones, regardless of its type, is that we can prevent further damage to natural resources. In addition, artificial stones are cheaper than natural stones. We can call these things the general advantages of artificial stones. However, as we said, every artificial stone has its own unique advantages, and quartz artificial stone is no exception to this rule. In the following, we will see some of the most important advantages of artificial quartz stone:
- High resistance to scratches, abrasions and strong impacts
- High resistance to moisture and moisture
- Completely Hygienic and antibacterial
- Comfortable and effortless maintenance
- Capable of bearing heavy weights
- High variety in designs and colors
How to maintain artificial quartz stone?
These stones are not particularly troublesome and are easy to maintain. Also, cleaning them is easy and there is no problem in this regard. If you can clean these stones daily but very superficially, you have done the best possible job. By doing this, pollution, dirt, stains, fats, etc. will not accumulate on the surface of the stone, nor will they turn into old and old pollution that will cause you trouble to clean them. Using only a soft, water-absorbing cloth that you have slightly moistened is enough to clean the artificial quartz stone. We recommend that you do not use cleaners, cleaners, etc., and just use water and tissues. Of course, if you have stubborn stains that cannot be cleaned with that method, you can easily use a little soap and water and clean the desired surfaces from contamination.
Sometimes it happens that sticky materials such as gum Or paint and... is placed on the surface of your quartz and sticks to it. To solve this problem, you can use the sharp tip of a knife and very slowly and carefully remove this stuck material from the quartz surface. If there are any traces of this sticky material left, you can use a clean and damp cloth that is also soft.
