MSI's Premium Quartz surfaces are not only beautiful but also incredibly durable, perfect for quartz countertops and flooring. Have you ever wondered how they are made? Quartz, a natural stone, is combined with resin and other materials using Bretonstone Technology. 
 
Quartz is the hardest non-gemstone material found abundantly worldwide. It is mixed with pigments, glass, minerals, granite, and resin, then compressed and vibrated to create an aggregate. These aggregates are compacted into slabs and heat-cured, resulting in a durable material. 
 
MSI's Premium Quartz surfaces are available in various colors and patterns for residential and commercial use. They are moisture-resistant, mold-resistant, and heat-tolerant, with high scratch-resistance. Composed of about 93% quartz, 7% resin, and other materials, these surfaces offer multiple advantages over natural surfaces. They are uniform, can be produced in different sizes and thicknesses, and never require sealing. Plus, they are cost-effective and environmentally friendly.
 
Check out some highlights from MSI's Premium Quartz collection. Knowing how they are made, you can truly appreciate their great looks and rugged durability.
