Despite the high hardness of the quartz countertop, continuous direct cutting may cause fine scratches and wear. These scratches not only affect the appearance of the countertop, but can also become a place for bacteria and dirt to accumulate.

The temperature of boiling water is 100°C, which is lower than the heat resistance limit of quartz countertops. However, pouring boiling water directly on quartz countertops may cause cracks to expand, resin damage (the surface loses gloss or deforms), and color change.

The manufacturing process of quartz countertops can be divided into 7 main steps: 1. Raw material preparation, 2. Mixing and stirring, 3. Pressing and molding, 4. Curing and cooling, 5. Cutting and processing, 6. Surface treatment, 7. Quality inspection and packaging.
