Post-Installation Material Risks
When selecting quartz slab materials, developers usually set their budget during the design phase. However, many developers forget to consider the post-installation maintenance costs. Developers feel secure right after handing over the property because the material still looks perfectly fine. Yet, a few years after installation, problems start showing up. The surface begins to look dull, or some parts get damaged and eventually require maintenance. In cases like this, the problem is caused by choosing materials that still follow old standards.
What Developers Actually Need
The question is, what kind of material should be chosen for the long term, and what criteria are needed to minimize post-installation maintenance? This is because developers usually only focus on high durability and color resistance. Or, they look for non-porous materials so that dirt cannot enter and cleaning remains simple, but they do so without actually checking the density of those pores. Worst of all, developers often ignore the certification testing of a material, even though this is very important to understand its real qualities.
Modern Material Standards
To answer this question and meet the most ideal standards, quartz materials must be non-porous with a very high density so that bacteria and dirt cannot get inside. Moreover, the material must go through certification testing to find out its resistance to scratches, pressure, and temperature changes. Ideally, quartz materials should pass tests and be certified under international standards because this is very important for large-scale property projects. Developers must also pay attention to whether the slab size meets standard specifications so that the final look is perfect with almost no gaps, to stop dirt from getting inside.
IndoQuartz as the Standard Solution for Quartz Materials
To meet all the criteria mentioned above, IndoQuartz is here as a quartz material designed to fulfill every developer’s need. In terms of density, IndoQuartz has a water absorption rate of only 0.04% and has been tested under ASTM C97 for density. In terms of durability, IndoQuartz has been strictly tested with a compressive strength reaching 184 to 192 MPa. IndoQuartz material is also resistant to extreme temperature changes without any visual defects. When put through the freeze-thaw test, the material proved its resilience against extreme temperature shifts without showing visual flaws or experiencing damage like popping.
Equally important, IndoQuartz has been certified by four international organizations, which are SGS, Greenguard, NSF, and CE. For developers working on large-scale projects, this certification is not just a formality. It is written proof that can be fully justified to buyers.
