Artificial quartz is made by combining ground-up quartz with polymers and synthetic resins under heat and pressure to create slabs. These slabs are later cut and used in various applications such as countertops and fireplace surrounds. As a countertop, quartz offers a durable surface for both bathrooms and kitchens. Being an artificial material, it comes in a variety of options that can turn your countertop into the room’s focal point, wherever it’s installed. Quartz is solid, hard and, being an artificial product, has few imperfections. http://www.kaunited.com/cabinet/
