Quartz compound
| KITCHENS STAIRS WASHBASIN |
Route towards future. Innovation and tradition at the customer service. The quartz compound is an innovative material composed of 94%of natural quartz, silicon sand and structural resin of polyester. The combination of these elements ensure amazing results, which make quartz compound a prestigious, high performance and quality material. Thanks to its total absence of porosity, it is very hard and resilient to all kinds of spots and common soaps usually used in domestic environments, that is why it makes the perfect material for kitchen and bathrooms tops and claddings. The colour range is much wider then the natural stone's because of the organic dyes in the compound. Streaks and refractions can be different depending on the material added to the compound, for example, we can lighten the compound by inserting nacres scales rather then obtain different reflexes by inserting glass or mirror pieces depending on the light intensity of different environments. Thanks to its versatility quartz compound can be employed both indoors and outdoors, and only the knowledge and experience of PLM masters craftsmen can ensure you an excellent and exclusive result. |
