QUARTZ. TECHNISTONE.

Quartz or engineered stone was created mainly by a group of forward thinking, intelligent men and women who, at the end of the last century, were looking for a way to solve the lack of uniform consistency of natural stone, quality and reasonable supply of stone surfaces to consumers; while minimizing the impact traditional methods inflicted on the environment. Natural stone was mined in the quarries and under rather pretentious conditions, the pure beauty of the surrounding nature quickly disappeared with every blast, or under the wheels of heavy trucks littering thousands of liters of oil. In the wake of this destruction, only the dull gray, dust covered and devastated landscape remained. At that time, the demand for durable slabs with versatile finishes and low maintenance gathered steam. Mainly because of the combination of cutting-edge technology and the natural sciences, quartz has become the perfect choice. Today only experts can really tell the difference between natural stone or quartz engineered stone. Rest assured after some time using it, the benefits and features of quartz are insurmountable and critically clear. Nature in connection with economic and ecological sustainability. Technology that goes hand in hand with nature. This is also the / R / evolution in housing, to which Technistone also contributed in the Czech Republic.

Quartz belongs on floors, walls and furniture

And we’ll start at the walls and floor. We recommend selecting only one part to cover with quartz, and use the other material for the rest. You add a classical yet modern touch to the room. If you apply quartz to the whole space, it would be too cold. It fits into the kitchen, bathroom, living room and hall.
