Considerations for Using Beachport Quartz

While Beachport Quartz offers unmatched advantages, here are some critical considerations before making your decision:

• Cost: Engineered quartz is typically more expensive than alternatives like laminate or natural stones. However, its longevity and low maintenance often offset the higher initial cost.
• Seams: While skilled fabricators minimise their appearance, seams may be visible in large installations or with intricate designs.
• UV Sensitivity: Some Beachport Quartz colours may experience slight fading if exposed to prolonged, direct sunlight. Consult your fabricator for recommendations on whether outdoor use is intended.
• Scratch & Heat Tolerance: Beachport Quartz is highly resistant but not indestructible. To avoid scratches, use cutting boards and trivets or heat pads for hot items.
• Professional Installation: Due to the weight and precision required, professional fabrication and installation of Beachport Quartz is highly recommended.
• Pattern Consistency: While Beachport Quartz offers remarkable consistency, the engineered stone may have slight variations in colour and pattern across slabs. It’s recommended to view slabs in person before the final selection.
• Chemical Sensitivity: Avoid using harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners on Beachport Quartz.  Mild soap and water are sufficient for cleaning.
• Repairs:  While rare, damage to Beachport Quartz may require professional repair. It’s not a material easily fixed with DIY methods.

Care and Maintenance

Maintaining the beauty of your Beachport Quartz is remarkably simple:

• Everyday Cleaning: Wipe spills promptly with a soft cloth, warm water, and mild dish soap. A non-abrasive cleaner can be used to remove dried-on messes.
• Stubborn Stains: Beachport Quartz is not suited to most common spills, but for tougher stains, use a non-bleach surface cleaner and a non-scratch scrubbing pad.
• Avoid Harsh Substances: Steer clear of harsh chemicals, abrasive cleaners, and scouring pads, which can dull the surface over time.
• Heat Protection: While heat resistant, always use trivets and heat pads under hot pots, pans, and appliances to prevent potential damage.
• Additional Tips: Use cutting boards to protect against scratches, and place coasters under glasses, especially those containing citrus or alcohol.
• Removing Permanent Marker: If a permanent marker finds its way onto your quartz, try a small amount of rubbing alcohol on a cotton ball. A melamine cleaning eraser (“magic eraser”) may do the trick if that doesn’t work.
• Outdoor Care: If used outdoors, more frequent cleaning may be necessary to prevent dirt or debris buildup. Check with your fabricator for any additional precautions for outdoor installations.
