Formica® Stone is natural quartz surfacing composed of approximately 93% quartz and 7% high-performance polymers. It offers the aesthetics and durability of granite without the maintenance. Unlike natural granite, Formica Stone is nonporous and doesn't require sealing, buffin or polishing.
How is Formica Stone superior to other surfaces? Formica Stone resists stains and spills, reduces the potential for bacteria growth, and maintains a consistent color and texture throughout the slab. After all, quartz is one of nature's most beautiful and durable materials.
