Silk White W008 1.8cm Polished Quartz Slab 280x130cm

Silk White W008 Quartz Slab

The Silk White Quartz Slab provides a high-density, non-porous surface for demanding interior applications where durability and hygiene are primary requirements. This 18mm thick engineered stone offers superior scratch and stain resistance compared to natural marble. The 2800mm x 1300mm format allows for expansive installations with minimal jointing in large kitchen islands or commercial reception counters.

Built for the Job

This material is engineered for heavy-use environments including commercial kitchens, laboratories, and high-traffic residential areas. Fabricators prefer the W008 series for its consistent pigment distribution, which ensures uniform appearance across the entire surface. The 1.8cm profile provides a balance between structural strength and weight management, making it easier to handle during transport and installation than 3cm slabs while still allowing for mitred edge profiles to create the appearance of a thicker block. It requires professional cutting using water-cooled bridge saws with diamond-tipped blades to prevent chipping and thermal shock during fabrication.

• Fabrication of seamless kitchen worktops and heavy-duty island counters.

• Installation of hygienic wall cladding in healthcare or food prep areas.

• Manufacturing of custom vanity tops for high-end multi-unit developments.

On-Site & Workshop Notes

• Always transport this stone vertically on A-frame racks to prevent stress fractures during transit.

• Use only pH-neutral stone cleaners to maintain the factory polish; avoid acidic or highly alkaline chemicals.

• Ensure cabinetry is perfectly level and reinforced to support the 160kg dead load before installation.

• Apply a high-quality, color-matched epoxy resin for all jointing to ensure a moisture-tight seal.
