Discover Travete Tempest Quartz, an engineered surface made mostly of natural quartz bound with resins and pigments, designed for consistency and low maintenance. Its palette features white tones with a consistent, even appearance.
Look and Character
Because Travete Tempest is manufactured, its color and pattern stay consistent across slabs, a big advantage for larger projects and matching pieces.
Best Uses
Use Travete Tempest quartz for busy kitchens, islands, bathroom vanities, backsplashes and commercial spaces. For a balanced design, combine it with white, gray, navy or natural wood cabinetry.
Care and Maintenance
Quartz is non-porous, so it never needs sealing and resists everyday stains. Clean with mild soap and water and always use trivets for hot pans, since quartz is more sensitive to direct heat than natural stone. It is recommended for indoor use.
