Posted by Today, construction is more than the beams and bricks, it is the construction materials used in building projects that not only affect the appearance but also the functionality of the building. Crystal Quartz is that construction material that has been made popular because of its strength and the kind of rich textures and elegant finishes it offers. So let’s explore the reasons behind the increasing popularity of crystal quartz usage in interiors and flooring installations.
What Is Crystal Quartz?
Crystal quartz is a natural mineral that is predominantly composed of silicon dioxide. It is hard and has long been extensively used in a variety of industries, though its application in the building industry has changed with the development of technology in engineered stone.
With engineering at its core, Granucol and Geosil Art Colored Quartz of Silcol are crafted from pure quartz sand as a primary source, blending with a polymer binder and lightfast pigment to deliver premium surfaces with exceptional durability while installing interior tiles and floorings.
The simplicity of its use and robustness, as well as its timeless style, are what make it an ever-popular construction material among our trusted constructors and interior designers.
Quartz Applications in Construction:
Flooring:
From a design perspective, a crystal quartz flooring makes an ideal choice for commercial areas, shopping malls, and healthcare facilities. Its reflective properties help in brightening interior tiles, achieving extraordinary tile grout strength because it is waterproof and built for long-term durability. The combination of these ensures that floors are clean, despite being continually used and being exposed to cleaning chemicals.
Walls and Cladding:
Colored quartz application goes beyond flooring installations. It can be applied to the walls and claddings as well, where it provides aesthetic and protective strength. The quartz finishes provide a decorative layer that protects from weather conditions and improves insulation. Moreover, the fact that crystal quartz is mould and stain-resistant promotes hygienic settings that are essential for exterior or interior building walls. They offer unique aesthetic and functional value, including cladding for stone, wood, metal, and composites around the primary structure.
Countertops and Work Surfaces:
Quartz countertops are also very common in the kitchen since they are not difficult to clean and do not develop scratches. They also resist spills of wine, oil and coffee, among others, hence retaining their beauty longer. They are also most preferred in residential homes and commercial areas due to their smooth and non-porous material that prevents the growth of mould. They come in a variety of different colours, making them suitable for any type of design, from traditional to modern, with the accompaniment of beautiful grout colours and quartz finishes.
Benefits for Interiors & Floorings:
Aesthetic Appeal – Crystal quartz has aesthetic beauty that allows any space to have a different look and feel welcoming. With such a variety of colours, it is possible to select surfaces to a certain visual theme, as preferred by the customer.
Durability – The interiors will have the ability to survive the test of time and will be durable due to the mechanical strength of the crystal quartz and the durability of the tile grout, and thus will be in a position to withstand the wear and tear with minimum maintenance work, resulting in cost savings throughout the life cycle of the building.
Hygienic and Low Maintenance – Granucol and Geosil Art Colored Quartz are non-porous and therefore require no sealing, unlike concrete. This implies that one does not need any additional time or cost to seal the installation, making it rather convenient and quicker to manage by the dealers and construction workers. It is simple to clean using soap and water; thus, requiring less upkeep, and long-term hygienic beauty in any space is guaranteed.
Stain and Scratch Resistance – Quartz is very resistant to stains and scratches, hence suitable in the kitchen, the bathroom, and other places of high traffic. Its non-porous surface does not allow any liquid, such as water, wine, oil, or coffee, to absorb, therefore retaining the appeal of the surface remaining fresh and clean.
Sustainability & Durability
The theme of sustainability has become a major essential factor in the choice of construction materials. Crystal quartz offers the goal of green building by virtue of its extended durability and recyclability. Compared to concrete, which can easily break or wear out, Granucol and Geosil Art Colored Quartz ensure that the production wastes are kept at a minimum, and it takes a long time before they need to be replaced. It is also not limited to epoxy grout choices, which increases its resistance to chemicals and moisture to reduce the environmental impact on the life of the building.
The application of Granucol and Geosil Art Quartz is also compatible with environmentally friendly construction without compromise of quality and aesthetics.
Popular Finishes and Quartz Designs –
Granucol and Geosil Art Quartz provide a wide range of quartz finishes to correspond with the design requirements:
Polished Quartz: Sleek, glossy surfaces are formed on the surface of the high-end commercial and residential interiors.
Matte and Satin: Chosen in cases of corporate settings where it should be a bit elegant.
Textured and Patterned: These products, such as Geosil Art, could enable expression in terms of creativity and functionality.
Combining these designs with Grancuol and Geosil Art Colored Quartz gives a customised aesthetic solution that would uplift any space.
Conclusion
The crystal quartz has demonstrated without doubt its worth within several parts of the construction industry, and as a high-performance flooring and interior decorator. Engineered quartz like that by Granucol and Geosil Art can be a reliable choice to give a project manager, architect, and builder the durable, sustainable, and aesthetically pleasing spaces that go beyond current standards.
The addition of crystal quartz to your new project will not only enhance the beauty and usability of the project but also future-proof your spaces in an ecologically friendly manner. Find out the possibilities of the quartz-rich surfaces in the modern world and improve your construction performance with materials that are long-lasting.
