[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]You’re not supposed to use quartz behind the range, so you need to figure out a different treatment there. Some people do it but the quartz can scorch or crack. I don’t like quartz enough to want it everywhere.[/quote] Silly. If the range could damage quartz, it would set fire to everything else. [/quote] Quartz is made of 90-93% quartz and 7-10% resin, which is plastic. It’s fine, because it’s still mostly real ground up stone, right? But that calculation isn’t by volume, it’s by weight. By volume, it’s more like 20-30% plastic, which is why you shouldn’t put hot items on quartz countertops. The rear burners of gas stoves, and stoves that vent hot air from the back can discolor and scorch quartz. Induction and electric ranges are probably fine, but I wouldn’t want the edge of a pan to accidentally touch the quartz. AA [/quote]
