QUARTZ OR PORCELAIN?
In recent years, natural stones have become an indispensable part of residential and commercial designs. Natural stones emphasize design rather than ease of application in interior or exterior design. Quartz, which comes to mind first when it comes to natural stone, combines with today's technology to meet every need for design. Thanks to its non-corroding and stainproof surface like pure natural stone, it can withstand intensive use by being preferred as a countertop in spaces such as kitchens. Its durability, combined with a choice of uniform or bold colors and countless vein patterns, expands the range of applications for quartz. Used as a dresser or table top, it adds a natural and attractive aesthetic to the living room. Its non-porous structure ensures that dirt, liquids and odors remain only on the surface, preventing the formation of bacteria and mold, making quartz an extremely safe choice, especially for families with young children. The addition of moisture-repellent properties to its non-porous structure and thus easy maintenance makes it a preferred for wet spaces such as bathrooms. Due to its long-lasting structure, it is easily used in storage areas such as basements and cellars. It can adapt to every piece by gaining flexibility with different size and dimension options and resins added into it. Porcelain is also a favorite choice to achieve the look of natural stone with many advantages. Porcelain is an effortless way to perfect a variety of interior or exterior designs, not only aesthetically but also thanks to its technical performance.
With quartz and porcelain it is possible to change and customize the atmosphere of living spaces in accordance with personal preferences! There are always quartz or porcelain slabs to match the style of the furniture in the space, offering customized solutions for the implementation of designs. While quartz and porcelain with neutral tones are used to make the kitchen look neat and modern, veined quartz models are used for a slight liveliness. Matte quartz countertops prevent reflections under excessive light. White or light-colored porcelain makes small spaces look larger. In living areas, quartz or porcelain with a concrete look brings the feeling of old and new together. Wood-look models add naturalness and warmth to the space. Unlike the other materials such as wood that stain and corrode, marble-effect quartz and porcelain models that can be used in dining areas without any worries offer a safe and comfortable environment. Covering a vintage-inspired fireplace in porcelain preserves the style and makes the cozy space even more warm. In bedrooms, textured or fancy patterned coverings add a touch of dynamism and elegance. Choosing quartz or porcelain with sophisticated colors and patterns in workspaces such as offices creates a comfortable working environment, making it easier to concentrate and freeing thoughts. Quartz and porcelain, the most ideal materials for outdoor design, maintain the fascination of nature by preserving their colors as they were the first day and resisting corrosion. It evokes a sense of permanence thanks to its timeless stone-like patterns.
Whether preferred as floor or wall tiles, quartz and porcelain not only change the feel of living spaces with their price advantages per square meter and versatility, but also offer endless design possibilities to the designer.
