Technical Specifications
Detailed Insights for Informed Product Selection
At Sheen Overseas, we understand the importance of having precise technical details when selecting materials for your project. Our Technical Specifications section provides comprehensive information on the properties and performance of our quartz stone, granite, marble, tiles, and sanitaryware products. Whether you are an architect, designer, contractor, or homeowner, our technical specs are designed to help you make confident, informed decisions for both residential and commercial applications.
1. Quartz Stone Technical Specifications
- Composition: Engineered using 90-95% natural quartz and 5-10% resin binders and pigments, making it highly durable and non-porous.
- Hardness: Rated 6-7 on the Mohs hardness scale, offering excellent scratch resistance.
- Water Absorption: Less than 0.1%, making it highly resistant to stains and ideal for kitchen countertops and bathroom vanities.
- Heat Resistance: Can withstand temperatures up to 150°C (300°F). Use trivets for hot cookware to prevent thermal shock.
- Thickness Options: Available in 15mm, 18mm 20mm, and 30mm thicknesses for versatile applications.
2. Granite Technical Specifications
- Composition: 100% natural stone, primarily composed of quartz, feldspar, and mica, known for its unique patterns and durability.
- Density: Ranges from 2.63 to 2.75 g/cm³, contributing to its strength and longevity.
- Hardness: 6-7 on the Mohs hardness scale, offering high scratch resistance suitable for high-traffic areas.
- Porosity: Low to medium porosity; requires periodic sealing to maintain stain resistance.
- Finish Options: Available in polished, honed, flamed, and leather finishes.
3. Marble Technical Specifications
- Composition: Metamorphic rock composed primarily of calcite or dolomite, known for its classic veining and luxurious appearance.
- Density: 2.68 to 2.84 g/cm³, providing a sturdy and solid surface.
- Hardness: 3-4 on the Mohs scale, making it softer than quartz and granite; requires more delicate handling and care.
- Water Absorption: Typically between 0.2% to 0.5%. Regular sealing is recommended to prevent stains.
- Finish Options: Available in polished, honed, brushed, and tumbled finishes.
4. Tiles Technical Specifications
- Types of Tiles:
- Ceramic Tiles: Made from a mixture of clay and other natural materials, fired at high temperatures for strength.
- Porcelain Tiles: Denser and less porous than ceramic tiles, offering superior durability and water resistance.
- Elevation Tiles: Textured tiles designed to mimic natural stone, ideal for exterior walls and facades.
- Thickness: Typically available in 6mm, 8mm, and 10mm thicknesses, depending on the application requirements.
- Water Absorption:
- Ceramic Tiles: 3-7%
- Porcelain Tiles: Less than 0.5%
- Slip Resistance: Available in both glossy (low slip resistance) and matte (high slip resistance) finishes, catering to different usage needs.
- Abrasion Resistance: Rated from PEI 1 (low traffic) to PEI 5 (heavy commercial traffic).
5. Susu Sanitaryware Technical Specifications
- Material: High-grade ceramic with a glaze finish, ensuring durability and a high level of hygiene.
- Water Consumption: Designed for water efficiency, with options like dual-flush systems (3/6 liters per flush) to minimize water usage.
- Impact Resistance: Tested to withstand impacts from standard bathroom usage, reducing the risk of chipping or cracking.
- Finish Options: Glossy and matte finishes available, offering choices that suit different design aesthetics.
- Dimensions: Available in a variety of sizes to fit different bathroom layouts, including compact options for smaller spaces.
6. Susu Quartz Sinks Technical Specifications
- Material Composition: 80% natural quartz combined with 20% resin for enhanced strength and durability.
- Scratch Resistance: High scratch resistance, ideal for busy kitchens and heavy use.
- Heat Resistance: Can withstand temperatures up to 180°C (350°F). Use heat pads or trivets to protect against extreme heat.
- Stain Resistance: Non-porous surface prevents stains, making it easy to clean and maintain.
- Color Options: Available in a range of colors and finishes, including matte, glossy, and textured options.
7. Performance Standards and Certifications
