Is quartz heat, stain, and scratch resistant?
ITALIC engineered quartz surfaces are highly resistant to scratches and stains under normal interior use. While the material is heat-resistant, it is not heat-proof; we recommend using trivets or heat pads for hot cookware to protect the resin.
To ensure long-term performance, ITALIC surfaces undergo third-party testing in accordance with international standards. This includes verified performance for:
- Stain & Chemical Resistance: Testing against common household liquids and acids.
- Hardness & Abrasion: High-performance scratch resistance.
- Structural Integrity: Verified flexural strength and water absorption rates.
