A NEW CHOICE IN SURFACES
Why Quartz?
Quartz is one of the earth's most abundant materials and also one of the most intriguing. Quartz crystal makes dazzling jewelry, yet it has the energy and precision to power the most accurate timepieces. Quartz is extremely hard, with unusual strength, depth, clarity and radiance. These are some of the reasons why DuPont chose quartz as the core ingredient for ZodiaqTM .
The Material Differences of ZodiaqTM
ZodiaqTM has its own depth and character, with unique aesthetics suggesting a feeling of enlightened luxury and an attitude of bold sophistication. Cool, tranquil and sparkling, ZodiaqTM catches and reflects light, capturing the radiance of quartz crystal. ZodiaqTM also has unusual clarity and consistency in color, qualities that offer boundless potential in horizontal and vertical surfacing applications.
Strength
ZodiaqTM is characterized by superior strength and durability. Because it is composed of quartz, ZodiaqTM has exceptional toughness and a rating of 7 out of 10 on the Mohs' hardness scale. This makes it extremely resistant to scratches, chips, cracks or dulling.
Consistency
ZodiaqTM can be cut and installed to meet exacting requirements with precision, uniformity and consistency. This capability helps ensure ordering accuracy as well as reduce waste and inventory. ZodiaqTM is dense, nonporous and stain-resistant, with no sealing required. And, best of all, ZodiaqTM is easy to maintain, retaining its new-looking appearance to provide purchasing peace of mind.
Warranty
ZodiaqTM is backed by a 10-year product-only warranty for commercial installations. For residential installations, ZodiaqTM has a 10-year limit installed warranty in addition to the product warranty.
