Debunking Top 3 Myths About Quartz Countertops

There are lots of talks about quartz countertops among architects and interior designers about kitchen and bathroom quartz countertops,other uses of quartz stone, and how good is quartz for commercial and residential projects after all quartz countertops?

Quartz stone has been around for a long while, but with new technologies and quartz's structure as a building material, a lot has changed. Despite the recent spike in quartz's popularity and tons of new information, there are still a lot of myths and misconceptions about this building material. That's why for today's article Xiamen Aofei Building Materials experts have debunked the top 3 myths about quartz countertops!


  1. All Quartz Countertops Look the Same 

This is probably one of the biggest misconceptions about quartz! Quartz has one of the widest varieties of colors and patterns and has an unlimited number of options in this regard. Why? Because quartz countertops are usually engineered building material and consist of 90% ground quartz stone and 10% of pigments, polymers, and resins. Which brings us to the next top myths!


  1. Quartz and Quartzite are the Same Thing

Nope! While the two building materials are similar in qualities and, sometimes, in looks — they're not the same. Quartzite is a completely natural stone, and as we mentioned earlier, quartz stone is technically engineered. 


  1. Quartz is Shiny and Doesn't Work for Modern Minimalistic Design

A definite no to both. First, there's a large selection of colors, patterns, 

finishes, and textures when it comes to the kitchen, bathroom quartz countertops, and other materials made of quartz. Second, quartz isn't shiny on its own. The shininess we usually observe comes from common polishes.

Sawfish, an Unsinkable, Lightweight, Foam Kayak (23 Lbs). Free DIY Kayak Plans, the Hardware Store Boat

Image
Do you really want a kayak? Want one so bad you can taste it, but can't afford one, or think you don't have the skills to build one? Then I have a few questions for you. Can you cut a crusty bagel with a knife, stack blocks, stick a sandwich together with mayo, skewer meat and veggies for kabobs, grate cheese, cut thin fabric with scissors, stretch wrinkles out of bed sheets, and roll paint onto a wall? Then you can build this boat! Unlike most boat seal plans that require you to do a whole bunch of reading and learning, require you to buy or own lots of tools and learn what seems like a whole new language devoted to boat building. I designed this boat, and wrote this I'ble, to be as simple as possible. You don't need any boat building books, or much in the way of tools. You can find everything you need to build this boat at hardware stores, the internet, and discount stores. When you are done, you will be a real boat builder, and have an excellent boat to show for it

Shaken, Stirred and Elementary: ‘Sherlock Holmes’ and ‘Thunderball’

Image
Created by Arthur Conan Doyle, the detective Sherlock Holmes belongs to us all. As noted by the historian Michael Saler in "As If," his account of literary imaginary worlds, the great detective was modern fiction's "first virtual reality character" — given that part of his readership chose to believe that he was an actual person. The 1916 movie "Sherlock Holmes" (newly restored and released by Flicker Alley in a dual Blu-ray/DVD edition) grounds that character's virtual reality in a corporeal presence, namely that of the tall, craggy American actor William Gillette (1853-1937). Mr. Gillette, the son of a United States senator from Connecticut, was Holmes's contemporary. It was during the hiatus between the fictional character's apparent demise in a struggle with Professor Moriarty and his return to life by popular demand that Mr. Gillette metal got the opportunity to take the title role in a revision of Conan Doyle's unproduced Holmes
