Low-silica quartz is rapidly becoming the material of choice for homeowners and designers who prioritize both style and well-being. In today’s design landscape, beauty alone is no longer enough—health, safety, and sustainability are equally important.
When choosing materials for your dream home – from kitchen countertops, islands, to bathroom walls – you want more than just attractive colors or marble-like veining. You want durability, resistance to daily wear and tear, and now more than ever, you want peace of mind.
That’s where low-silica quartz shines. Unlike traditional engineered quartz that contains high levels of crystalline silica, low-silica formulations minimize health risks without compromising performance or aesthetics.
And beyond its technical advantages, one critical question remains at the heart of every smart choice:
“Is this surface truly safe for my family – and for the people who make it?”
At VinaQuartz, we believe that the materials surrounding you should not only elevate your space, but also protect the people who bring those materials to life. This belief is the foundation of our Low-Silica Initiative—part of a larger movement we call “The Wave in Innovation.”
What is Silica in Engineered Quartz and Why Does It Matter?
To understand safety, we first need to understand Silica. Crystalline Silica is a natural mineral found in most rocks, sand, and soil. In engineered quartz, Silica is the main component giving the stone its signature hardness and durability.
However, during cutting, grinding, or polishing, tiny respirable crystalline silica particles are released. Without strict safety controls – such as ventilation systems, wet cutting, and specialised protective gear – long-term inhalation can cause serious lung diseases for fabricators and installers.
This issue is globally recognised, and responsibility starts not only with contractors but with manufacturers themselves.
“The Wave in Innovation” – VinaQuartz’s Commitment to Safer Quartz
At VinaQuartz, we deeply understand our role. Our message “The Wave in Innovation” is not just about aesthetics or veining technology. It is a breakthrough for people: The Low-Silica Initiative.
We are proud to introduce products with controlled crystalline silica content below 50%.
This is more than just a number. It is a powerful commitment:
- For homeowners: Complete peace of mind that your surfaces are beautiful and produced with health and safety as top priorities.
- For fabrication partners: You are part of the VinaQuartz family. By supplying Low-Silica materials, we work with you to protect your skilled teams – the craftsmen who turn designs into reality. This is our social responsibility and ethical business practice.
