Modern technologies are influencing the way designers think. Contemporary processes can harness the qualities of tough natural materials, such as quartz, to create versatile, enduring options for architects and home-owners.

As well as importing natural stones, such as granite, marble and limestone, WK Marble & Granite supplies quartz-based engineered stone, says director Bill El-Cheikh.

"Made from over 93% natural quartz and a mix of accent materials and pigments, all bound by resins, Quantum Quartz is a hassle-free choice for architects and developers," he says. "Quantum Quartz is non-porous, doesn't require sealing and is highly resistant to stains, heat, chemicals, chips and scratches."

Bathrooms in the Sydney Lumiere apartment project featured here provide a good example of Quantum Quartz's design versatility.
