Who makes this material
Quartz surfaces are a composite material made from natural quartz mineral and binders. They combine the durability of natural stone with a controlled, even look, offering a wide choice of colours, patterns and surface finishes.
The material is durable, dense and easy to care for, which makes it suitable for kitchen worktops, bathrooms, islands, tables and other intensively used surfaces. Quartz surfaces have low porosity, which helps reduce the absorption of liquids and everyday grime.
Each brand's collections offer a different range of design and technical solutions, letting you choose a surface to match the demands of the particular project.
VIA Stone Processing offers quartz surfaces from four leading brands — Silestone, Caesarstone, Technistone and Avant. We have chosen these brands' materials for their quality, design possibilities and suitability for a wide range of interiors.
