Breakthrough Technology
BioQuartz® was developed by Breton, a world leader in stone technology, who found a way to transform ordinary sand into stunning surfaces without using crystalline silica – the harmful dust that can affect the health of workers who craft traditional stone countertops.
By heating sand to extremely high temperatures (about 1500°C), they created a material that matches the beauty and durability of premium quartz while protecting the craftspeople who shape it.
