Frequently Asked Questions

What is Avanza Natural Quartz?

A natural quartz surfacing material from Avanza USA Inc. Avanza is made from quarried quartz (natures 4th hardest material) which is reshaped with high-performance polymers, under extreme heat and pressure. Unlike ordinary quarried stone, Avanza natural quartz is nonporous and remains resistant to chemicals, scratches and stains without needing periodic resealing or polishing.

What makes Avanza so stain-resistant?

Natural Quartz, the main component of Avanza, is naturally nonporous. By bonding quartz with high-performance polymers, Avanza is far more stain-resistant than ordinary stone. Spills such as tea, soda, wine, vinegar, lemon juice and fruits and vegetables are no match for Avanza.

What makes Avanza so scratch-resistant?

Avanza is 93% premium quality natural quartz, one of natures hardest materials. Only topaz, sapphire and diamond surpass natural quartz in hardness.

Why are the consistent colors of Avanza an advantage?

The color of ordinary stone can vary greatly between pieces and unattractive veining or blots can mar the appearance. Hence, you really need to visit the quarry and hand-select your preferred slabs. With Avanza, the colors and textures are far more uniform and consistent, so you can confidently select your countertop from our sample chips.

How do I care for an Avanza top?

To clean Avanza , a damp cloth is usually all you need. To clean up sticky spots and spills a little liquid dish soap or Formula 409 can help.

Can I get an Avanza top for my bathroom?

Yes, Avanza is perfect for bathroom vanity tops and there are several vanity tops to choose from.

How long does it take to get an Avanza top installed?

Working through a local Avanza Certified Installer, a typical project takes approximately 3 to 4 weeks from templating to installation.
