Quartz composites are highly compact materials without porosity; as such they do not require oil-proofing or waterproofing treatments. They do not absorb liquids, odours or cooking fats. For this reason, they do not enable bacteria to multiply, they are resistant to acids and to stains from daily use, as well as scuffs, scratches and small knocks; they are also easy to clean, guaranteeing a high standard of hygiene.
Despite the material being resistant to high temperatures, it is advisable to protect it using table mats to avoid direct contact with the saucepan surfaces or utensils which have just been removed from the oven. In fact, direct contact with hot objects or flames could cause indelible marks due to the heating of the re
Although it is resistant to scuffs and scratches, to guarantee optimal conservation of its original appearance we advise that chopping boards should always be used.
It is furthermore advisable never to overload the work surfaces with weights exceeding 50 kg (never jump or sit on the top) and avoid dropping pointed or sharp objects on it (such as knives, bottles, pans, cooking utensils etc.) which, due to their shape, could cause chipping which would be difficult to fix.
