QUARTZ BENCHTOPS IN MELBOURNE

Yes, but the type of quartz surface matters. Traditional engineered stone benchtops containing 1% or more crystalline silica are prohibited in Australia. Our new-generation quartz range is crystalline silica-free and is designed as an alternative for customers wanting the appearance and practicality associated with quartz surfaces.

Silica-free quartz is a manufactured surface designed to provide the consistent appearance, durability and low-maintenance qualities associated with traditional quartz, without crystalline silica. It is available in a wide range of colours and marble-inspired designs for contemporary kitchens and interiors.

The cost depends on the colour, design, slab size, quantity and fabrication required. Attila’s supplies quartz slabs directly from our Campbellfield warehouse, with wholesale pricing available to the public. Contact our team with your approximate measurements, alternatively, prices are available online.

No. Quartz is a non-porous surface and does not require periodic sealing like many porous surfaces. This makes it a particularly practical choice for busy kitchens, laundries, vanities and other everyday interior applications.

Quartz has very low porosity and offers excellent resistance to common household spills and stains. For the best long-term appearance, spills should still be cleaned promptly and the surface should be cared for according to the manufacturer's instructions.

Quartz can tolerate normal everyday kitchen conditions, but very hot cookware should not be placed directly onto the surface. We recommend using trivets or heat mats beneath hot pots, pans and appliances to help prevent thermal damage or discolouration.

Both are excellent benchtop options but offer different advantages. Quartz is known for its smooth, consistent finish, extensive colour selection and low maintenance. Porcelain offers excellent heat, UV and stain resistance and can also be used in a wider variety of applications. The best choice depends on your kitchen design and how the surface will be used.

Quartz is manufactured, allowing greater consistency in colour and veining from slab to slab. Natural stone is formed naturally, so every slab has unique variation and character. Neither is necessarily better-the right choice depends on the appearance, maintenance requirements and individuality you want for your project.

Quartz is ideal for kitchen benchtops, islands, waterfall ends, vanities, laundries and many other interior applications. It may also be suitable for splashbacks depending on the product and its proximity to heat sources. Check the manufacturer's installation requirements before specifying quartz directly behind a cooktop.

Our current crystalline silica-free quartz collection is available in 20mm slabs. Your stonemason can create different edge profiles and thicker-looking edges during fabrication depending on the design of your kitchen.

Yes. You can visit our Campbellfield showroom and warehouse to view full quartz slabs before making your selection. Viewing the entire slab gives you a much better understanding of the colour, veining and overall movement than choosing from a small sample.

Attila’s is a slab supplier rather than a fabrication and installation company. You can select and purchase your quartz slab directly from us, and your chosen stonemason can collect the material, fabricate it to your kitchen measurements and complete the installation.

Attila’s Natural Stone stocks crystalline silica-free quartz slabs at our Campbellfield showroom and warehouse in Melbourne. Our collection includes whites, warm neutrals, marble-inspired designs and statement colours, with wholesale pricing available directly to the public.
