Quartz Sealers and Cleaners

[Rick George]

With the huge influx of Quartz surfaces coming into the industry from so many manufacturers around the world how do you keep up with the care and maintenance of these products? Can quartz stain? Yes, it can and therefore Tenax has researched and developed many products to help make these surfaces easier to care for.

Should I seal my Quartz?
This is not a yes or no answer as it depends on the brand of quartz and how it was manufactured. Quartz manufactured on Breton equipment are considered Legacy Quartz and they do not require sealing initially after installation. But after about 4 to 5 years of use and the surfaces gets "worn" a bit, sealer will penetrate and help protect it from any potential staining. All other quartz and engineered stone not manufactured on Breton equipment seems to accept the quartz sealers from day 1 of fabrication. Therefore, Tenax has come out with specific sealers for Quartz.

Rick,

I know quartz manufacturers are funny about what we (end user as well) recommend and use on their products.Are the Lustro products endorsed by any manufacturers?

We are very careful about what we recommend for care products and before we started handing them out with our installs, we were sure to hand samples to our product reps to have them let us know if it is okay to use on their specific product. We had a few tell us "NO" so we just give the customer care instructions that are provided by that particular product. Keeps us out of trouble.

I can't say that these are officially endorsed by any manufacturers, but they have been very well tested and safe for these products.
