Belenco Care & Maintenance Information
As a general rule, quartz is relatively easy to take care of. If you follow some basic, simple rules, you can clean it with warm water and mild soap. However, it can be temperamental if you begin using chemicals on it. Leaving home made concoctions on the surface for long periods of time also hinder performance.
Caring for Belenco Quartz is also simple. Here are some basics when it comes to maintaining the look of your quartz surface:
Use a pH neutral cleaner designed for quartz as your daily cleaner. Although, you can use soap and water, some quartz owners have reported streaks after using it to clean surfaces.
Keep your quartz away from harsh chemicals for lengths of time; and some chemicals should never be used. See the manufacturer's care and maintenance guide for detailed lists.
Use care when working with sharp edges or knives. Belenco Quartz is scratch resistant, but not scratch proof.
Always use a trivet or a hot pad when placing pots on your quartz surfaces. Quartz is not heat proof.
Caring for your quartz is an important aspect of owning it, but you have to have it installed first. So let's briefly take a look at how the quartz surface gets installed in the first place.
How to Install Belenco Quartz
Do you have your eye on new quartz countertops in your kitchen or bathroom? Have you set your heart on Belenco for the hard surfaces? If so, you may be interested in finding out what goes into installing Belenco Quartz. Even if you are not installing Belenco yourself it is still wise to research it. Why is that the case?
Because knowing what the project consists of can help you understand the pricing, timing, and scope of what you are having done. Here are the steps for how to install Belenco Quartz countertops.
Have the proper tools - if you are installing the quartz, you will need to be sure you have the right tools and supplies before you begin the install. However, if you are having it installed by a fabricator, he will most likely have the tools.
Measure your space - measure out the stone and mark the slab for cutting the holes for the sink and faucet. This can be tricky and will require more tools. In fact, specific tools are made for this purpose.
Set the quartz - after measuring the area to see where the cuts go, lay out your Belenco quartz on the base without any adhesive. This will allow you to get a good idea of how well the quartz fits the space.
Apply the adhesive - if the quartz is the right size and shape, glue it into the space.
Install your backsplash - if you have elected to have a backsplash, you will install it after gluing the surface in place. Choosing the proper backsplash for your Belenco surface plays a key role in your project's appeal.
Installing Belenco countertops is not a project that will take only one afternoon. In fact, the whole process takes multiple days because the consequences are huge if there is a mistake. So, if you are installing your Belenco yourself, be sure you set aside plenty of time for the task. Otherwise, you may end up overloading yourself and having to hire a fabricator anyway. Additionally, if you are going the do-it-yourself route, you will want to be sure you have the correct tools; all of which are available through distributors found on this website.
Installation Tools
We offer a wide selection of products that can be used when
installing quartz countertops; and that includes installing Belenco quartz surfaces. When you go to install the slab, be sure you have all the right tools for the project. Here are some reminders for installing quartz & stone surfaces.
Diamond blades that are designed to cut Belenco quartz slabs are a must. The
Matrix S diamond blade is outstanding for cutting quartz surfaces. It is by no means the only blade that we offer to cut quartz surfaces, but it does outstanding.
Another tool required for installing polished Belenco Quartz is polishing pads. Polishing pads that work well for quartz surfaces are a must. Depending on whether the polishing is done in a wet or dry environment there are multiple choices. Here are some specifics:
Know which type of edge is wanted on the countertop before the material is installed.
Do you have the proper sink clips that are needed for the installation?
What type of sink will the countertop have? Is there one in particular that compliments the Belenco collection you are installing?
Make sure you are all set on dry polishing pads just in case you have to touch up the surface.
If there is an overhang, have you included the correct quality countertop support brackets for the installation?
In the end, you may choose to hire a fabricator or choose to install it yourself. Whichever you decide, it is beneficial to know a little bit about the process.
