A suitable preparation can be obtained from DG Granite Factory or from a retail shops like Homebase, B&Q and similar. We recommend that after using the preparation, the worktops are washed again with water and detergent. With more stubborn stains, we recommend the use of special quartz scouring preparations.

We recommend that stains are removed immediately with kitchen paper, water and washing liquid. Keep chemicals and corrosives away from the worktop. We do not recommend the use of abrasive or very acidic or bleach-containing detergents.

Detergents especially designed for the purposes of quartz maintenance should be preferred. Dark, heavily pigmented colours will show scratches, wear and tear more easily.We recommend the use of a damp (microfiber) cloth, warm water and, if required, a pH neutral detergent, a slightly alkaline (pH 8-10) or a slightly acidic (pH 4-6) detergent for daily cleaning. Quartz worktops are not scratch proof, the use of chopping boards is recommended. offer a Care and Maintenance Kit which has been developed to offer the customer everything they need to keep their worktops looking good for years to come To cover these gaps between the wall and the upstands, it is recommended that plastering or tiling be completed after the worktop installation.Ĭaesarstone Cloudburst Concrete Worktops Care and Maintenance Upstands are not normally cut from the same slab as the worksurfaces and therefore an exact colour match is not possible.īecause quartz upstands are straight and rigid, gaps will be visible if there are any imperfections or variations on the wall profile. Upstands less than 100mm high are extremely fragile and are not recommended. When the plumbing is done to the sink, it is important that the plumber reseals it with silicone, otherwise water may seep through the gap and your warranty may be invalidated If a waste disposal unit is fitted to an undermounted sink after installation, additional support will be required, otherwise your warranty may be invalidated.Ĭarefully select your preferred method of undermounting stainless steel sinks to ensure sufficient support. Sink cutouts are placed a minimum 50mm from the worktop front edgeĪ minimum of 120mm is required between two hob cut outs.Ī minimum of 100mm is required between hob and sink cut outs.Ī minimum of 70mm is required between two sink cut outs. The change of pattern will show up on the seam areaĭue to thermal expansion Caesarstone Cloudburst Concrete Quartz can expand up to 1mm per meterĪny overhang extending more than 300mm should be supported and carcasses should be 600mm spacingĭue to the weight of quartz worktops, it is essential that your units are level and securely fixed. These colours are highly unlikely to have contineous flow of the pattern when 2 sheets or 2 pieces of the same sheet are seamed together. Suitable for any worktop project.Īll joints are finished with a small ariss to the top edge and are carefully sealed with silicone to allow for expansion and to prevent water seeping through or bacteria growing in cavities. It is non-porous, resistant to heat, scratches, stains and bacteria, and can be cleaned with regular detergents. For any bench top greater than 20mm thick we recommend selecting mitred aprons to achieve the best surface-to-edge pattern continuity.ĭaily care and maintenance of Cloudburst Concrete is similar to other Caesarstone surfaces, however the ‘Rough’ low reflective matt surface finish is more susceptible to showing everyday marks and spills meaning more regular cleaning maybe required.

With its “Rough” low reflective matt surface, the design works alongside light and dark timbers, stainless steel, concrete surfaces (including Rugged Concrete) providing wide design flexibility, from industrial loft to Scandinavian through to minimal contemporary aesthetic.Ĭaesarstone Cloudburst samples are only indicative of a part of a slab, and we strongly encourage viewing displays to appreciate first-hand the nature of this high movement design. Caesarstone Cloudburst Concrete with its white on white, tonal cloud like patina, delivers a truly unique look.
