The Quartz Carpet Q&A

Discover Our Seamless Stone Overlay Solution

Quartz Carpet is a seamless stone overlay made from coloured quartz granules mixed with a clear epoxy resin. Applied by hand over existing surfaces, it creates a seamless yet textured finish that works both indoors and outdoors. Here’s everything you need to know.

What makes Quartz Carpet different from other flooring options?

  • It has no grout lines, for continuous application across the entire surface.

  • It’s incredibly durable, able to handle both foot and vehicle traffic.

  • It can be laid over existing surfaces like tiles or concrete.

  • You can customise the colour and finish to suit your space — including porous and non-porous variations.

Where can Quartz Carpet be used?

Quartz Carpet is highly versatile and suitable for:

  • Residential interiors: kitchens, bathrooms, laundry, living spaces, garages

  • Commercial environments: offices, showrooms, retail spaces, hospitality, healthcare clinics

  • Institutional spaces: universities, public buildings

  • External areas: Garden walkways, footpaths, pool surrounds, driveways

Can Quartz Carpet be used on joinery?

Absolutely. Quartz Carpet’s hand-applied technique allows for a smooth finish even on detailed joinery. It’s commonly used on shop counters, feature shelving, and custom-built cabinetry.

Is it suitable for outdoor use?

Yes! Quartz Carpet comes in two finishes:

  • Pore-Filled (Indoor): Non-porous and easy to mop, ideal for interiors e.g office flooring.

  • Open-Pore (Outdoor): UV stable and water-permeable, perfect for patios and pool areas.

What surfaces can Quartz Carpet be installed on?

Quartz Carpet is designed to be applied on-site to a wide range of substrates.

Floors:

  • Concrete

  • Tiled surfaces

  • Compressed fiber cement sheeting

Walls:

  • Plaster/rendered surfaces

  • Villaboard

  • Blue board

  • Concrete

  • Plywood

  • Tiled walls

Joinery:

  • MDF

  • Marine plywood

  • Compressed sheeting

How long does installation take?

Installation itself takes one day — but along with prep time and drying, it typically takes 3 to 5 days for a 100m² area when applied over a simple concrete substrate. If you're resurfacing tiles, additional time might be needed.

Do I need to plaster before installing Quartz Carpet on walls?

Yes — plastering or rendering is essential before applying Quartz Carpet to wall surfaces. It ensures the base is flat, stable, and free of imperfections.

How do you clean and maintain it?

Quartz Carpet is very low maintenance. Just mop or wipe it with a mild detergent — no special cleaning products required.

To effectively clean the permeable finish, start with sweeping to remove loose debris and use a hose (with caution) for stubborn buildup. Regular maintenance helps prevent clogging and ensures the pavement's functionality. Note: avoid using excessive pressure.

How much does it cost?

Pricing depends on:

  • The area of application (floors, walls, or joinery)

  • Surface preparation needed

  • Area size and layout complexity

  • The location of your project

Generally, the cost is comparable to mid-to-high-end tiling, but with the added advantage of faster installation and no demolition costs in many cases.

Is Quartz Carpet pet-friendly?

Definitely. Quartz Carpet is a great choice for pet owners. It’s scratch-resistant, easy to clean, and comfortable underfoot for dogs and cats.

Is Quartz Carpet a slippery surface?

Quartz Carpet meets slip resistance standards for both residential and commercial spaces. Slip ratings depend on the finish. The Open-Pore finish naturally achieves a P4 rating, which is ideal for outdoor areas, pool surrounds, and pathways. Our Pore-Filled finish achieves a rating of P2 without the non-slip additive (suitable for bathrooms, kitchens, and internal wet zones) or P4 with the additive. Always consult with your installer about the best slip-resistant finish for your project’s needs.

Who should install Quartz Carpet?

Only trained professionals with experience in rendering or plastering should install it. This ensures a perfect finish and long-lasting performance.
