Lasting impression

When choosing work surfaces to augment a project, designers and specifiers require three things that the product will create a strong first impression, secondly that it won't cause upkeep issues down the line, and lastly that the material won't blow the budget.

Quantum Quartz engineered stone from WK Marble & Granite allows specifiers to meet all these criteria, says marketing executive Geoff Masterton.

"Made from over 93% natural quartz and a mix of accent materials and pigments, all bound by resins, Quantum Quartz is a reliable, affordable choice for contemporary and classic interiors," says Masterton. "The product is nonporous, and can be worked and shaped in the same way as marble or granite. It doesn't require sealing and is resistant to stains, heat, chemicals, chips and scratches."

In terms of standout design solutions, Quantum Quartz provides solutions for any kitchen or bathroom decor. The palette ranges from neutrals to bold tones, accented with chips of coloured glass, mother of pearl, mirror, granite or quartz.

All these factors were considered when interior designer Lyn Hughes of Colour Impact specified surfaces for the kitchen and bathrooms of The Dominion apartment complex in Parramatta.

"It was clear that the interiors would need to be well appointed, with finishes in keeping with the innovative facade," says Hughes. "I chose Quantum Quartz for its durability and colour choice, which reflect the current trend towards clean lines in white and natural earthy colours."
