According to data from the National Storm Research Laboratory and several material testing agencies, high-quality clay tiles can withstand wind speeds of up to 120 miles per hour (about 193 kilometers per hour) after proper installation. This data is equivalent to the wind force level of a Category 3 hurricane.

● Scratch resistance: Quartz countertops are slightly better than granite countertops, especially in the case of long-term use, quartz countertops can maintain a smooth and traceless surface. ● Stain resistance: Quartz countertops are not easy to absorb liquids or stains due to their non-porous structure, and they remain clean and beautiful for a long time, while granite countertops need to be sealed regularly.

But in fact, the thickness of 2CM is enough to withstand various loads in daily use. Quartz countertops are an engineering material whose strength depends not only on thickness, but also on the density of quartz particles and the bonding effect of resin.

Black textured quartz countertops often mimic the patterns of natural marble. This natural variation in texture adds dynamics and complexity to the countertop. Each countertop has a unique texture, just like nature's creation, and it can become the focus of the space without much decoration.

According to the recommendations of manufacturers and architectural design, a 2 cm thick quartz countertop is usually safe to span between 60 cm and 80 cm (about 24 inches to 32 inches) without support.
