Slab AGL Bianco Maple White Crystal Quartz, Thickness: 15 mm

- Engineered quartz stone is a composite material made of crushed quartz bound together by polymer resin (adhesive).
- It is used primarily for kitchen countertops as an alternative to laminate or granite.
* Engineered stone is non porous, more flexible, and harder than many types of natural stone.
* Since it has a uniform internal structure, it does not have hidden cracks or flaws that may exist in natural stone and also has a color/pattern consistency from slab to slab.
* Polyester resin binding agents allow some flexibility, preventing cracking under flexural pressure.
* They are much more resistant to scratching, however it also makes re-polishing and general processing of them a more difficult task, which is why they are most commonly used for kitchen countertops, where the value added through processing can offset their considerably higher cost.
