Frequently asked questions
What is natural Taj Mahal quartzite?
Taj Mahal quartzite is a popular natural stone known for its elegant appearance and luxurious feel. It’s quarried in Brazil and named after the iconic white marble mausoleum in India. It’s often sought after for its resemblance to marble, with a creamy white background adorned with soft, subtle veining in hues of gold, beige, and gray.
How is Wilsonart® Quartz engineered?
Wilsonart® Quartz is engineered by combining natural quartz crystals, resins, and pigments in precise proportions, which are then compacted under high pressure and cured to create durable slabs. The addition of pigments allows for a wide range of color options that mimic the look of natural stones and suit various design preferences.
How do I maintain a Wilsonart® Quartz countertop?
Wilsonart® Quartz can be maintained with simple soap and water or most household cleaners! No special cleaning solution is required.
