A NEW CHOICE IN SURFACES
 Why
Quartz?
Quartz is one of the earth's most abundant materials and also
one of the most intriguing. Quartz crystal makes dazzling
jewelry, yet it has the energy and precision to power the
most accurate timepieces. Quartz is extremely hard, with unusual
strength, depth, clarity and radiance. These are some of the
reasons why DuPont chose quartz as the core ingredient for
Zodiaq™ .
The Material Differences of Zodiaq™
Zodiaq™ has its own depth and character, with unique
aesthetics suggesting a feeling of enlightened luxury and
an attitude of bold sophistication. Cool, tranquil and sparkling,
Zodiaq™ catches and reflects light, capturing the radiance
of quartz crystal. Zodiaq™ also has unusual clarity
and consistency in color, qualities that offer boundless potential
in horizontal and vertical surfacing applications.
Strength
Zodiaq™ is characterized by superior strength and durability.
Because it is composed of quartz, Zodiaq™ has exceptional
toughness and a rating of 7 out of 10 on the Mohs' hardness
scale. This makes it extremely resistant to scratches, chips,
cracks or dulling.
Consistency
Zodiaq™ can be cut and installed to meet exacting requirements
with precision, uniformity and consistency. This capability
helps ensure ordering accuracy as well as reduce waste and
inventory. Zodiaq™ is dense, nonporous and stain-resistant,
with no sealing required. And, best of all, Zodiaq™
is easy to maintain, retaining its new-looking appearance
to provide purchasing peace of mind.
Warranty
Zodiaq™ is backed by a 10-year product-only warranty
for commercial installations. For residential installations,
Zodiaq™ has a 10-year limit installed warranty in addition
to the product warranty.
