We're back to show you the double vanity top we've just installed in an ensuite in Somers. This project required the fabrication and installation of Quantum Quartz Pietra Serena benchtops, vanity tops and splashbacks in the kitchen, bathrooms and laundry and we also made a desktop.

We're also installing Zimbabwe Black honed granite BBQ top, fireplace hearths and kitchen servery and will be back to show you those later. Contact us for all your Quantum Quartz fabrication and installation needs, or visit the Quantum Quartz website.

We've been working on a new construction in Somers this week, installing a Quantum Quartz island benchtop with waterfall ends and splashbacks in a kitchen, laundry and pantry, as well as bathroom vanity tops and a desktop. The colour is Pietra Serena from Quantum's Natural Quartz Range, and is a soft grey that combines a mix of unique veins with natural colour variations within the stone. This quartz is suitable for residential and commercial indoor applications and comes with a 10 year limited warranty.

Westernport Stoneworks are able to fabricate natural quartz products in a range of thicknesses and profiles to suit your individual needs. Contact us if you require a quote for any quartz installations in your new construction or renovation. We'll be back to show you more of this project soon.

Caring for quartz benchtops

Craig Metcalf - Monday, August 28, 2017
Caring for quartz benchtops

Quartz is the most durable of all engineered stones for benchtops, countertops and work surfaces, and is a good choice for domestic and commercial projects. Its non-porous, low moisture absorption properties and high resistance to heat, staining, chipping and scratching make it very low maintenance and easy to care for. There's a few simple things you should remember when caring for engineered quartz products.

Basic care do's and don'ts:

  • Do clean quartz benchtops and surfaces with a soft cloth and mild pH neutral liquid detergent and warm water regularly.
  • Do clean up spills or food stains immediately.
  • Do protect counter tops with coasters, trivets and place mats to avoid any sudden change of temperature.
  • Don't use cleaners that contain acid such as bathroom cleaners, grout cleaners or tub & tile cleaners.
  • Don't use abrasive wipes or cleaners as they will scratch the surface and remove the finish.
  • Don't use bleach or ammonia cleaning products as they will dull the natural shine of the quartz.

Contact us if you have any issues looking after your quartz or need a quote, we are suppliers of quality quartz products from Australia's leading brands, Caesarstone, Smartstone and Quantum Quartz, on the Mornington Peninsula.
