Food Grade Certified
It’s important to take into consideration the safety of using low crystalline silica quartz in a multifamily project. low crystalline silica quartz that are food grade certified are part of the best selection to choose from because they are safer for everyone that encounters them. There are many building materials that can increase the number of VOCs, Volatile organic compounds, to be emitted into the air this includes using certain materials such as quartz. When a low crystalline silica quartz is green guard certified this means that the low crystalline silica quartz meets the indoor air quality requirements by producing low chemical and particle emissions. This is important to consider especially when individuals who have health issues, children or pets are exposed to these VOCs. By using food grade low crystalline silica quartz, you create a safer environment that produces a healthier space for individuals who come in and out of your property.
Value Engineering
low crystalline silica Quartz is also important if you are thinking about value engineering. Many individuals confuse value engineering to sacrificing the quality of the products you use to cut cost, but this is not the case. Value engineering is choosing a high-value product as an alternative to a high-cost product. low crystalline silica Quartz is a great alternative to natural stone if you are trying to budget the cost of your multifamily project. You can get similar appearances to natural stone but without the extra maintenance and time needed to maintain natural stone.
Aesthetics
When it comes to the aesthetic you are trying to create in a multifamily unit you want a design that can go with multiple styles so everyone can customize their own space. low crystalline silica Quartz will have a more uniform look which is crucial when you are keeping the same base scheme for each unit.
Price Levels:
Price levels vary depending on the low crystalline silica quartz but some factors that can increase the price is the difficulty of the low crystalline silica quartz being installed as well as how it is manufactured. The manufacturing process consists of 5 steps. Those steps are:
- Mining the raw quartz
- Crushing the quartz and sorting it
- Manufacturing the polyester resin
- Transporting all the separate ingredients to a manufacturing plant
- Plant combining and creating the low crystalline silica quartz slab.
