How we Manufacture Quartz

Quartz is mined from the surface of the earth, using sustainable practices from countries such as Brazil, Madagascar & Japan. Once this has been minded it is then sent off to our quality control team which will only select the best pieces to turn into quartz worktops.

Quartz is manufactured through a process called lapping and polishing. This process involves grinding quartz into the desired shape using abrasive materials such as diamond wheels. After the quartz has been ground, it is then polished using finer abrasives until its surface has a smooth feel and shine. Composite is crafted into slabs that had uniform sizes and multiple thicknesses, but could then be carved and refined with the same skill as natural stone.

The Vision Worktops‘ way of manufacturing creates a product that is incredibly robust and compliant with EU standards and ensures your worktops stay resilient for many years to come. It is a common practice within the industry to mix quartz with cheaper materials. Whilst this may seem great for a consumer at first. It ultimately results in the product deteriorating quicker over time.

Quartz is a natural product, meaning the colour & shades of the product vary from piece to piece, overall giving your kitchen worktop a unique factor to others. If you love the look & feel of the quartz product Vision Work Surfaces can add colour enhancements to the product to achieve the result you desire.

The lapping and polishing process can also be used to create intricate designs on quartz surfaces. Once the quartz has been manufactured, it is then ready for use in a variety of applications. Quartz can be used to make gems, jewellery, kitchen countertops, and other decorative items. It is also an important material in many industries such as electronics and construction due to its excellent thermal properties and low cost. With its versatility and durability, quartz is an essential material for the modern world.
