DURABILITY
QUARTZ is not heat-proof, chemical-proof, stain-proof, chip-proof or fracture-proof.
Although Quartz can withstand heat better than most materials, it can be damaged by extreme temperature changes, whether prolonged or sudden. Trivets and hot pads should be used when placing hot skillets, pans, crock-pots or other heat generating kitchenware on the surface.
DAMAGING
Quartz is durable and resistant to surface damage. However, it can be damaged by force. Objects hitting edges, particularly at sinks or dishwashers, may cause chips.
AmeriQuartz Quartz Surface are designed to withstand normal use. While it is resistant to scratches, cuts, and chipping, cutting directly on the quartz surface should be avoided. Use a cutting board and do not to drop or move heavy objects on the surface.
Do not leave water on the surface for long periods of time to prevent patina from forming.
Do not place the quartz surface outside or anywhere that may be exposed to high levels of ultraviolet radiation.
