LOW SILICA WORKTOPS

We offer a range of sustainable worktop solutions including slabs containing, bio-based resin, and recycled glass with less than 5% silica.

Low-silica worktops are a relatively new concept which is gaining popularity due to its safety and health benefits.

Unlike traditional materials like granite and quartz, which contain crystalline silica, low-silica worktops are made from materials that do not pose a risk of silicosis, a serious lung disease that can be caused by inhaling silica dust.

Popular low-silica worktops include Porcelain worktops and some Quartz worktops that have less than 5% silica as part of their composition.

Quartzforms lead the way in eco-friendly and innovative design worktops with their  ECOTONE-NEW ERA COLLECTION.

WHAT ARE THE BENEFITS OF LOW-SILICA WORKTOPS?

Low-silica worktops are rapidly taking the industry by storm because of their eco-friendly properties.

Reduced exposure to silica dust creates a safer environment for food preparation and general kitchen activities but its main benefit is that it eliminates the risk of silicosis which is a serious lung disease with no cure.

Silica dust, a major component of quartz and granite, is classified as a human carcinogen by the International Agency for Research on Cancer (IARC). Inhalation can lead to silicosis.

Low-silica worktops still have the same benefits as traditional quartz worktops including, but not limited to;

• Wide range of colours
• Stain-resistant
• Scratch-resistant
• Heat-resistant
• Easy to maintain
• Durability
