How to Choose the Right Quartz Surface
Consider your colour palette: Kalinga Stone offers 100+ shades - from Calacatta-look whites to deep solid blacks. Ask Lapiz Blue to arrange a full-size slab comparison under natural and artificial light
Select the right finish: Polished gives a mirror-like sheen ideal for modern kitchens; honed delivers a matte, contemporary feel; textured finishes add grip for wet areas
Choose the right thickness: Standard 20 mm suits most countertops; 30 mm gives a premium, chunky edge profile. Thinner 12 mm slabs work well for wall cladding to reduce load
Quartz vs granite: Quartz is non-porous (no annual sealing), has more consistent patterning, and offers a wider colour range. Granite is a natural product with unique variation but requires periodic maintenance
Heat resistance: Quartz resists temperatures up to 150 °C, but always use trivets for hot pans straight off the hob to prevent thermal shock
Indoor use only: Engineered quartz is designed for indoor use. Prolonged UV exposure can cause colour shift. For outdoor surfaces, consider natural stone or porcelain alternatives
Edge profiles: Choose from flat polished, bevelled, bullnose, ogee, and waterfall edges. Experienced fabricators can produce all standard profiles
Maintenance: Simply wipe with a damp cloth and mild soap. Avoid abrasive cleaners and harsh chemicals like bleach or acetone
Common Mistakes to Avoid
- Choosing colour from a small sample chip - Always ask Lapiz Blue to arrange a full-slab viewing. Pattern scale and colour undertones look completely different at full size
- Forgetting to check slab availability before finalizing design - Popular colours sell out quickly. Reserve your slabs early - we hold stock for confirmed orders
- Placing hot pans directly on the surface - Despite excellent heat resistance, use trivets. Thermal shock from very hot cookware can cause localized discolouration
- Using the wrong cleaning products - Avoid bleach, abrasive pads, and high-pH cleaners. Stick to pH-neutral soap and water for daily maintenance
