STONE SPOTLIGHT: IRG’s VERSATILE PENTAL QUARTZ ENGINEERED STONE

1. Why is Pental Quartz so popular?

The secret to the popularity of Pental Quartz is its price, durability, and ability to mimic the beauty of natural stone surfacing. Not to be confused with quartzite, QUARTZ is a low-maintenance, beautiful, manmade alternative to natural stone.  

2. Where can Pental Quartz be used?

The scratch- and heat-resistant (up to 250°F) qualities of Pental Quartz make it viable for kitchen counters, islands, bar countertops, closet islands, laundry rooms, bathroom vanities, and tub surrounds.

3. How do I care for Pental Quartz?

• Use a cloth or sponge with mild soap and warm water for daily cleaning. Rinse soap thoroughly to remove soap residue which can affect the appearance of the surface.
• Clean spills immediately and rinse surface thoroughly with water.
• Remove stubborn spots using a soft, non-abrasive cloth or sponge with a mild and neutral cleaner along with plenty of water.
• Avoid using harsh chemicals such as bleach cleaners on the surface.
• Never cut or chop directly on quartz. Pental Quartz is scratch-resistant but not scratch proof.
• Use a hot pad or trivet between hot pans or plates and the surface. Direct contact with extremely high heat can cause damage (such as with crock pots, electric skillets, etc.)

4. Where can I find Pental Quartz?

Pental Quartz is available from many outlets but most suppliers stock only small samples, making it difficult for a consumer to choose. IRG stocks full-sized slabs of Pental Quartz, allowing you to truly visualize this engineered stone in your next project
