Frequently Asked Questions
Why do Linnstone quartz surfaces vary in color and pattern?
Linnstone quartz surfaces use natural materials, so variation in color, pattern, size, shape, and shade is an inherent characteristic of the product. These differences are expected and do not affect performance. In some designs, tonal variation and color flecks are intentional, added to enhance the surface's natural character.
How should Linnstone quartz surfaces be supported?
Linnstone quartz surfaces are not structural supports and must be properly supported for their application. Slabs at 2 cm or 3 cm thickness are intended for countertops and require adequate support. Slabs under 2 cm are intended for quartz surface finishes such as walls, tub/shower surrounds, and fireplaces. Any horizontal application (including tub decks) must be fully supported.
What should be considered during installation?
Best results depend on properly prepared walls and cabinetry. Quartz surfaces should be installed onto structures that are sound, straight, level, and square. Inadequate preparation can lead to seam issues, poor fit, and inconsistent overhangs or alignment.
