slide 1: Solid Surface vs Engineered Quartz Stone Surface – Which is better for
Home Décor
With having some of the advantages and disadvantages both have some of the capabilities that make
them different from each other. Solid Surface and Engineered Quartz Stone in their own way are best
for home décor but they are not same. In this blog we will tell you that what are the differences
between both so that you can choose best for your home.
Common features of two materials:
Both have fireproofing materials.
Both are environmental friendly- Without toxic substance or radiation can be touched directly
with food.
Both provide wide range of color selections and come with the texture and feeling of nature
stone
Have beautiful glazing Surface after polishing.
These are some of the common feature. Now let us look at differences between two:
1. Made of different Materials
slide 2: Solid Surface is made up by mixing natural mineral powder such as acrylic polyester resin and
coloing pigments then chemically cured and heated into sheets form whereas Engineered
Quartz Stone is a mixture of 93 quartz stone and 7 polyester resin and other additives.
2. Mouldability
Solid Surface is almost limitless on design flexibility and can be heated and bent into avariety of
shapes meanwhile quartz is much harder material that make the stone more rigid and compact
and thus it cannot be moulded in any shape.
3. Scratch and Stain Resistance
Solid Surface is low maintenance thus it is easier to get scratched and stained during daily use
daily use application whereas engineered quartz have highest resistance against scratch and
stain.
4. Heat Resistance
Solid Surface is low in heat resistance therefore it is advised high temperature item should not
be place directly whereas Engineered Quartz Stone is fairly high in heat resistance and cannot be
affected by temperature lower than 300o
5. Affordability
Cost of engineered quartz stone surface is higher than solid surface because its rigidness makes
processing of it more difficult. Therefore engineered quartz stone surfaces are most commonly
used for kitchen Countertops/bathroom vanity tops and kitchen backsplash.
