Quartz
QU009
We reinterpret the quartz crystals that nature presents in their most beautiful forms, bringing them into your living spaces so you can design your interiors at their finest. Quartz has a crystalline structure and a very high hardness — 7 on the Mohs scale — giving it high abrasion and scratch resistance and strong resistance to chemicals.
- Bekka Marble Quartz Surfaces are among Class A non-combustible materials.
- Can only be polished under factory conditions; with simple daily cleaning it preserves its original gloss and natural vibrancy for many years.
- Produced so as not to form permanent stains or marks.
- Resistant to impacts.
- Resistant to abrasion and scratching.
