Engineered Stone
Engineered Stone is a uniquely manufactured quartz surface. Unlike granite, engineered stones are composed of 93% pure natural quartz crystals. With a diamond-like hardness, they offer stain and scratch resilience greater than any comparable product on the market. This unique combination allows these stone surfaces to be NSF (National Sanitation Foundation) approved, which makes them ideal for commercial and residential applications.
Technistone® is made using a combination of 93 % Quartz, Quartz Silica, Granite or Recycled Mirror, combined with 7 % resin, colors and binders. This mixture is pressed into 52” X 120” sheets using a unique and proprietary vibration-vacuum-compression process. The sheets are then heat treated, cooled, ground (calibrated) and polished to a high gloss shine. Each sheet is then individually inspected under bright lighting for any flaws or possible defects. Our quality control standards are your assurance that Technistone is the finest material available for your Quartz surfacing needs.
Technistone slabs are available in 52" x 120" x (3/4" or 1 1/8" thick) and in tile 3/8" X 12" x 12" , 16" x 16" or 24" x 24". 3/4" Technistone tile pavers are available by special order only.
Technistone’s 20 Techni-Colors® provide you with an exceptional variety of rich colors and textures allowing you to create the perfect environment and effect in all of your residential and commercial design needs.
Technistone® was developed specifically for the Kitchen and Bath industry with today’s sophisticated homeowners desires and needs in mind. Technistone engineered stone combines the desirable characteristics of both solid surface products such as Corian® with natural stone products such as Granite and Marble. In bringing together these qualities, Technistone eliminates the weaknesses of both. Technistone truly is the “next generation” in solid surface and stone surfacing.
Unlike Granite, Technistone® is much stronger having a flexural strength of over 4 times that of natural stone. Technistone is 99.9% solid; zero porosity means no place for dangerous bacteria or microorganisms such as salmonella to grow and accumulate. Oil, sodas, wine, water and common household chemicals have no effect on Technistone. Technistone is literally a “Super-natural stone”. Unlike plastic based Solid Surface materials like Corian®, Technistone is highly scratch and heat resistant. Technistone comes standard with an easy to maintain high gloss finish not possible with solid surface.
Technistone® engineered stone is the most versatile, durable and beautiful design surface available today. Technistone is clearly the premiere choice for all your design surfacing needs.
Technistone™ is durable and resilient and will provide you with many years of trouble free use. Technistone is 99.9% solid and nearly impossible to stain.
Residue on the surface of Technistone appearing as stains is only topical. These topical stains are easily removed with a white Scotch-Brite scrubber and any one of many common household cleaners available today including Mr. Clean, 409, Simple Green, Fantastic etc.
Technistone™ is heat resistant and under normal cooking conditions is not affected. Extreme heat can affect the beauty of any Quartz surface. Technistone requires the use of trivets for roasting pans, skillets, soup / stewing pots and all electric countertop cooking devices.
