If you have been following the news lately, you may have heard about "silica dust" and its impact on the stone industry. While we believe in transparency and safety, we want to clarify one very important fact for our homeowners:
The quartz or sintered stone countertops in your kitchen or bathroom pose zero respiratory risk to you and your family.
Why You Don't Need to Worry
The health concerns related to silica are strictly an occupational hazard for the craftspeople who cut and grind the stone. Here is why your installed surfaces are safe:
· The "Solid State" Fact: Silica is only dangerous when it is ground into a microscopic, airborne dust (known as respirable crystalline silica). Once your countertop is fabricated and installed, it is a solid, non-porous surface. It does not release dust, it does not "off-gas," and it is completely inert.
· Safe for Daily Use: Whether you are rolling out dough, chopping vegetables, or cleaning your counters, there is no way for silica particles to be released into your home's air.
· The Fabricator’s Responsibility: The "silica issue" is about how we, the professionals, protect our workers during the cutting process. We use advanced wet-cutting technology and specialized filtration systems to ensure that dust never becomes a hazard in our facility or during the final installation in your home.
