Luxurious Quartz

When redecorating your home it is important to take both style and choice of material into consideration. For many homeowners cost is the main factor but don’t let this affect your choice of material. To create a truly spectacular and glamorous look in your home, consider installing Quartz tiles – as they always top the trends no matter what season it is. Although they were once seen to be used in the bathroom alone, they are now popular all over the home – including the kitchen and living room.

Quartz tiles have a very distinctive appearance, which is the cause of the popularity that surrounds them. They are a combination of both quartz and resin, which is what gives them their distinctive high shine finish. The optimum ratio is 93% quartz and 7% resin, as a higher resin content will make the tiles more susceptible to scratches and more porous – and the lower resin content will make the tiles more brittle which will obviously compromise their well-known durability and strength.

To say the least, quartz tiles are very attractive. And, what makes them so distinctive are the mirror pieces that are found within them, which combined with the high shine finish gives the impression that they are almost sparkling. You will struggle to find another tile that offers this, which is why quartz tiles are so truly unique – not to mention the fact that they are available in a huge array of colours, making them perfect for everyone.

When you are choosing what materials you want in your home, it can sometimes seem a little daunting as there is so much that you need to consider, with maintenance being one of them. If you know you are not going to have a lot of time to dedicate to cleaning your tiles, it is pointless considering a tile that is very high maintenance. Quartz tiles are incredibly durable and will look glamorous for years to come in even the busiest of homes as they require very little maintenance – they also do not require sealing as they are completely non-porous, unlike other natural products.

As mentioned, quartz tile do not require sealing, so they can be used in even wet areas of the home – such as the bathroom or kitchen. They are also scratch and stain resistant, meaning that dropped utensils, movement of furniture or even the harshest of spills will not damage them or even leave a mark for that matter. Overall, quartz is a naturally very hardwearing material, unlike many others which can easily become scratched or damaged – they are also suitable for use with underfloor heating!
