Viatera® Advantages
Stain-Resistant
Viatera® is made primarily of natural quartz (93%) a mineral that is particularly resistant to absorption. When adhered with the polyester resins, Viatera® becomes a material that is non-porous and extremely stain resistant, qualities that are unique to quartz materials.
Scratch-Resistant
Natural quartz, the majority of the Viatera® makeup, is classified as the fourth hardest mineral on earth, by Moh’s Hardness scale, a scientific tool utilized to measure the composition of minerals. The only materials with a higher ranking are topaz, sapphires, and diamonds. This quality makes Viatera® nearly impossible to scratch or chip.
Heat Resistant
Although Viatera is Heat Resistant, it is recommended that trivets and/or hot pads be used when working with hot pots, pans or any other kitchen items that produce a high amount of heat.
Advantages of Viatera® vs. Granite
Viatera® offers unparalleled quality to any design project. Due to the clarity of the quartz stone, and the patented, advanced technology of polyester resins and colorfast pigments, Viatera® provides a durable surface that is non-porous, and more resistant to heat, scratches, and stains than other products.
