Engineered Stone
Durability
Çimstone is a quartz-based compound stone produced with the Italian BRETON technology. Combining the natural stone textures with the robustness of quartz, Çimstone is reliably used for laboratories in particular due to its anti-bacterial hygienic composition. Furthermore, it may be applied to such different areas of use as internal walls, facade, stairs, window sills, skirting and flooring. Thanks to quartz which, with its hardness of 7 mohs, considerably approaches the hardness of diamond which has a hardness of 10 mohs in the Mohs hardness scale, Çimstone is not scratched by metallic or similar materials and displays an intensive wear resistance even in spaces with high circulation for a life time.
Hygiene
Not absorbing liquid due to its compact composition, Çimstone is stainproof and displays a high resistance to the abrasive effects of acids and bases thank to this property. As Çimstone is highly resistant against acids and alkalis, tea, soda, wine, vinegar, lemonade, fruit juice stains and spots of strong spices are no more problem. Its nonporous structure makes Çimstone stain free. With its compact composition which does not absorb water and its surface which does not require subsequent on-site polishing, Çimstone may preserve the first day’s look for many years with some simple cleaning to be made with a damp cloth and a small quantity of liquid detergent, thus saving precious cleaning time and costs.
Quality
Çimstone carries out production and control in compliance with the TSE, ASTM and EN standards. Çimstone is accredited by a hygiene report to be a nonporous, stain free material of high abrasion, scratch and impact resistance. Çimstone is reported by the prestigious independent German Product Analysis and Safety Center LGA GmbH to be free of any bacterial growth after exposure to moulds and resistant bacteria. Cimstone further holds an NSF 51 Certificate issued by the National Sanitation Foundation (NSF) International and approved by the American National Standards Institute (ANSI). As well the National Sanitation Foundation (NSF), has certified Çimstone as a safe material for direct contact with any kind of food. Accredited with an easy and excellent overall cleanability by the same, your Çimstone countertop has proved to be completely safe as to microbiological hygiene after cleaning which makes it ideal for food preparation.
Aesthetic
It may be produced in different colours compatible with cupboard covers, which suit different expectations, with texture and design alternatives. Capable of being provided with effects with such different materials as mirror, glass, seashells colored with pigments, Çimstone offers such alternatives different from those surface covering materials which have come to be accustomed up to the present time and completes the changing kitchen and bathroom culture and modern designs of the present day.
