Quartz agglomerate (or engineered stone) is an artificial construction material that consists of natural quartz (approximately 90-95% by volume) and a binding polymer material (usually acrylic or polyester). Quartz agglomerate is produced by mixing crushed natural quartz with resin, followed by pressing and processing at high temperatures.

This material has several advantages and is widely used in modern architecture and interior design. Some of its main characteristics include:

1. Durability: Quartz agglomerate is highly durable and resistant to damages and wear. It can withstand heavy loads and impacts.
2. Impermeability: Due to its dense structure, quartz agglomerate is non-porous, making it easy to maintain and clean.
3. Stain resistance: It exhibits good resistance to stains, including coffee, wine, oil, and other substances.
4. Wide range of designs: Quartz agglomerate is available in various colors and textures, allowing it to be used for a variety of design solutions.
5. Hygienic: Thanks to its smooth surface, it does not support the growth of bacteria and microbes.

Quartz agglomerate is extensively used for manufacturing countertops, window sills, wall cladding, flooring, bathtubs, shower trays, and other interior and exterior elements, where both aesthetics and practicality of the material are essential.
