Officially CodeMark certified for deemed-to-satisfy compliance.
Quartz Carpet™
A highly resilient surface covering consisting of fine quartz stone aggregates and an epoxy binder. If you're after a long-lasting, seamless surface finish with the texture and colour variation of natural stones, Quartz Carpet is perfect.
