At Better Marble, we offer a curated selection of Nano-Ink Quartz, including the innovative Symphony and Phi collections, with classic designs like Calacatta, Statuario, and Taj Mahal Quartz. In this guide, we’ll explore what makes Nano-Ink Quartz special, its benefits, and how it compares to traditional stone options.
Next-Gen Stone Surfaces: Introducing Nano-Ink Quartz
Nano-Ink Quartz is an engineered stone that utilizes high-resolution printing technology to create realistic and intricate patterns. Unlike conventional printed quartz, where the pattern is only on the surface, Nano-Ink Technology penetrates up to 1mm beneath the surface, ensuring greater depth, stability, and scratch resistance.
Key Features of Nano-Ink Quartz:
- High-Definition Print – Exceptional clarity and precision in veining and patterns.
- Deep 3D Effect – Ink penetration creates a natural depth that mimics real marble.
- Non-Porous & Stain-Resistant – Perfect for kitchens, bathrooms, and commercial spaces.
- Durable & Scratch-Resistant – Withstands daily wear without losing its beauty.
- Sustainable & Eco-Friendly – Many products contain up to 70% recycled materials and low crystalline silica content.
