Product characteristics
DADO manufactures the finest examples of bathroomware available in the world today from unique engineered stone, called DADOquartz. Produced by state-of-the-art manufacturing facilities DADOquartz combines the advantages of granite and polymer products. It is manufactured by combining mostly crushed quartz with UV stable resin and pigments. Because of the uniformity of the material, DADOquartz has no fissures, veins or other imperfections that could compromise strength or appearance. DADOquartz has a natural appearance and subtle depth of colour. It is stronger, more durable, cleaner, safer and more consistent then natural stone. Up to 35% of the formula in some textures is derived from recycled materials.
DADOquartz is scratch, heat, mildew and mold resistant, easy-to-clean and boasts a stylish matt or high gloss finish, which is silky smooth to the touch. DADOquartz is more flexible than natural stone and consequently has a higher thermal shock resistance.
