Change of heart Zodiaq countertops transform kitchens

Most families starting out on a remodeling project tackle the kitchen first, and it's hardly surprising. After all, it is the heart of the home the one place where everyone gathers to swap stories, grab a snack or to simply socialize with the chef cooking dinner.

Being the center of attention comes at a price, however, in terms of wear and tear. And sometimes, it is not until you install a new kitchen that you realize just how far technology has advanced in recent years and it's not just your appliance technology that has changed.

Zodiaq® quartz-based surfacing material from DuPont is transforming kitchens worldwide. Manufactured from solid quartz crystals combined with advanced polymers and pigments, Zodiaq surfaces capture the light to provide a lively, sophisticated interior. Designs range from a subtle sparkle to more dramatic looks created by large crystals that shimmer with an intense radiance.

DuPont says the controlled manufacturingprocess of the natural quartz surface means there are no surprises in color or shading when countertops are installed.

Hardness and durability are other benefits. Because quartz is one of nature's hardest materials, Zodiaq is extra resistant to staining, scratches, chips, cracks and dulling. In addition, the beauty of the quartz surface runs all the way through the material it can't wear off.

Zodiaq surfaces are also easy to maintain, with no special treatments necessary.

When fabricated by an authorized installer, Zodiaq quartz countertops come with a 10-year limited warranty.
