A NEW CHOICE IN
SURFACES
 Why
Quartz?
Quartz is one of the earth's most abundant materials and also one of the most
intriguing. Quartz crystal makes dazzling jewelry, yet it has the energy and
precision to power the most accurate timepieces. Quartz is extremely hard,
with unusual strength, depth, clarity and radiance. These are some of the
reasons why DuPont chose quartz as the core ingredient for Zodiaq™ .
The Material
Differences of Zodiaq™
Zodiaq™ has its own depth and character, with unique aesthetics suggesting a
feeling of enlightened luxury and an attitude of bold sophistication. Cool,
tranquil and sparkling, Zodiaq™ catches and reflects light, capturing the
radiance of quartz crystal. Zodiaq™ also has unusual clarity and consistency
in color, qualities that offer boundless potential in horizontal and vertical
surfacing applications.
Strength
Zodiaq™ is characterized by superior strength and durability. Because it is
composed of quartz, Zodiaq™ has exceptional toughness and a rating of 7 out of
10 on the Mohs' hardness scale. This makes it extremely resistant to
scratches, chips, cracks or dulling.
Consistency
Zodiaq™ can be cut and installed to meet exacting requirements with precision,
uniformity and consistency. This capability helps ensure ordering accuracy as
well as reduce waste and inventory. Zodiaq™ is dense, nonporous and
stain-resistant, with no sealing required. And, best of all, Zodiaq™ is easy
to maintain, retaining its new-looking appearance to provide purchasing peace
of mind.
Warranty
Zodiaq™ is backed by a 10-year product-only warranty for commercial
installations. For residential installations, Zodiaq™ has a 10-year limit
installed warranty in addition to the product warranty.
Designing with Zodiaq™
Combining artistry with authenticity, DuPont Zodiaq™ quartz surfaces offer
almost unlimited design potential. Zodiaq™ can be specified for both
horizontal and vertical surfaces in all types of interior design applications
- commercial or residential.

lodging/hospitality, food service, education, retail, entertainment and

table tops, transaction counters and lab tables.
