Quartz slab – How do we choose it?

Quartz, a material with a hardness close to that of diamond, is obtained from a mixture consisting of approximately 95% natural quartz crystals, the remaining 5% being polyester resins, decorative elements, and pigments. Following the mixing and pressing of these materials, quartz slabs are produced, which are carefully cut and polished.

What can be done with quartz slabs?

Versatility is one of the main characteristics of quartz slabs, given the numerous ways they can be used.

Do you need a durable kitchen worktop or bathroom worktop that will maintain its impeccable appearance for a long time? You can get one from a quartz slab. It will prevent the appearance of bacteria and microbes, being ideal for environments where cleanliness must be maintained meticulously, such as the bathroom and kitchen. Also, quartz slabs are ideal for longer worktops, such as bar tops.

Quartz slabs are not only used in residential environments, being very popular in other sectors as well, such as HoReCa or medical, due to their easy maintenance and the variety of designs in which they are available. From quartz slabs, receptions, steps and risers for interior stairs, and many more can be manufactured.

Choosing a quartz slab

There are two important aspects to consider when choosing a quartz slab: the manufacturer and the model.

If you want to be sure you choose a quality, durable, resistant, and sustainable slab, with an impeccable, uniform appearance, then it is important to focus your attention on models produced by renowned brands. Thanks to our vast experience in the field in which we operate and because, over time, we have come into direct contact with quartz slab manufacturers, observing the performance offered, we can make two pertinent brand recommendations: Cimstone and Stone Italiana.

Cimstone is a brand with a history dating back to 1996, which rapidly expanded in Europe thanks to modern technologies for manufacturing quartz slabs and product quality. Cimstone's attention to detail begins with the selection of the best raw materials and only ends when the finished product – the quartz slab – looks impeccable. Prowest is an authorized distributor of Cimstone slabs, offering the best market prices for these products.

The Italian brand Stone Italiana was founded in 1979, and in 1995 launched top-quality products made from quartz. Decades later, it remains a benchmark for performance, variety, and innovation. The production technology used by Stone Italiana ensures the creation of quartz slabs with resistance to deformation, impact, humidity, and water. We are proud to distribute Stone Italiana products on the Romanian market, which are ideal for both home kitchens and commercial spaces where refinement is valued.

The quartz slab model is the second selection criterion and depends heavily on the design style in which the product will be used.

For a warm, timeless design, we recommend the models KGOLD, THYME, BASIC ROCFACE, NOISETTE, VANILA or TERRA, from Stone Italiana.

The industrial style can be perfectly complemented with URANO, LUNA and GRIGIO MILANO ROCFACE slabs from Stone Italiana or with VIGO or BOREAS from Cimstone.

The HERMES and TOROS models from Cimstone will be best highlighted in a setting where luxurious design predominates.

ARTEMIS, HIERAPOLIS and OLYMPOS, models that also belong to the Cimstone brand, are ideal if you need an element to brighten a too-small room and give the impression of an extended space.

These are just a few recommendations, but the final choice depends solely on your personal preferences. The good news is that Prowest slabs are available in over 100 different models, among which you will surely find one ideal for your design project.
