About Quartz Surfaces
- Advantages
Quartz has made a huge breakthrough in the past few years. All the
magazines and designers are promoting quartz as the latest maintenance
free stone surface out there. Quartz is an engineered stone that
is manufactured worldwide using the "Bretonstone" technology
. This process is a combination of natural quartz, sand and resins.
The result is a natural looking stone that is durable, flexible
and can stand up to the most demanding conditions without sacrificing
its sheer beauty and elegance.
No sealing, polishing or reconditioning is needed. Simply wash with
warm water. It's that simple. Plus the surface will resist stains
from fruit juices, coffee, tea, wine, grape juice, nail polish and
felt tip markers. Totally non-porous, making cleanup easy and preventing
food and moisture from penetrating its surface - the main source
of growth for harmful bacteria. There are no crevices or voids in
quartz tops for micro-organisms such as Salmonella and Staph to
grown in; it is color consistent, therefore design issues such as
conflicting grains, veins (movement) and fissures are eliminated.
To the untrained eye, quartz surfaces appear to be natural stone.
What makes it different? Natural rock is variable by nature. Colors
and patterns may shift and change on a large slab. Surface pits
are a mark of granite. Engineered stone on the other hand, displays
a "consistent variability" or mottling in color and texture
throughout a quartz countertop. Each slab looks the same, which
helps minimize the visible seams. Quartz surfacing is available
in colors not found in nature, as the crushed stone is generally
mixed with pigment. Take advantage, and choose a color that dazzles
while still looking like stone.

Fabrication, Templates, Edge Profiles
All in One Kitchen Renovations is one of many
companies around the world that fabricate countertops from the quartz
slabs that are manufactured in four of the most demanded companies.
The slabs are generally 50 inches by110 inches in dimension. Our
job is to cut, edge and details these slabs to serve as beautiful,
elegant, and astoundingly durable countertops for your home. The
final product's shape is determined by a template that is made with
plastic material cut from the layout of your kitchen cabinets. Customers
select the style of edge profile that they wish to be fabricated
from their carefully selected slabs. After finalizing the countertops
in our
shop our installers transport the final product to customer's homes
and carefully mounted and fit for household use. Quartz slabs are
generally provided in 3/4 inch (2cm) and 1&1/4 inch (3cm) thickness.
All in One specializes in the fabrication of 3cm quartz slabs. We
are not interested in double edging 2cm pieces as some companies
do. 3cm slabs provide a one piece solid countertop with a seamless
edge, it is more durable and much more visually pleasing.
Pricing, Turnaround Time, Installation
All in One Kitchen uses a single per square foot
pricing system that includes material, standard edging and installation.
The pricing is consistent for all material selections. Extra charges
include: extra edging for islands and peninsulas and under-mount
sink cut-outs and polishing. Also we provide services for tear-out
of old counters and provide plumbers and tile setters during the
project. Depending on the time of the year we generally offer a
lead time of about 4 weeks for quartz based on the availability
of colors. Installation for an average size kitchen usually takes
about 3 hours. (Link) Click here to request an estimate and set
