Reason Behind the Variation in Colour
Working with lots of Quartz slabs, you may have noticed that if a slab is from a different batch to another slab of the same colour, it would most probably vary ever so slightly in colour…especially the background colour. The difference is very minor, and it would not be noticeable unless the slabs are put right next to each other with no gap in between.
As a result of the difference being very small, it would be perfectly fine to use a slab of a different batch for a new island as an example, as there is quite a large gap between the island and the worktop, so the different shade would not be obvious.
However, assuming that a customer wants to extend their kitchen and so extend their worktop too, we will be faced with a problem. This is due to the fact that even if they go for the same colour as their old worktop, their new worktop is probably going to be formed from a Quartz slab of a different batch, and so the difference in colour becomes very noticeable.
As we have mentioned previously, quartz is made from mixing quartz crystals, resin, and pigments (these are the main ingredients but not the only ones). Therefore, as humans, it is near impossible for us to mix the exact proportion of ingredients each and every time we make slabs, therefore each batch will vary very slightly in colour to the next and the previous ones.
