March, 2009 -- Staron® Surfaces, a division of worldwide technology leader Samsung, has announced the addition of six new colors to its Radianz™ collection of quartz surface options.

The quartz collection now offers a total of 20 high-gloss color options, including its newest colors: Everest White, Cumberland Flax, Amazon Twilight, Palau Java, Toba Blackridge and Sechura Mocha.

Radianz blends nature and technology, combining beauty and functionality in a high-performance material that is ideal for countertops and other interior surfacing applications.

This natural quartz surface is comprised of more than 93 percent mined quartz crystals, one of the hardest minerals found in nature. Color controlled quartz crystals are blended with technologically-advanced polymers resulting in a luxurious, smooth, high-gloss material that does not require routine sealing. Because of the high quartz content, Radianz is ultra-durable and resistant to scratches and chipping. Its dense composition also makes it resistant to staining.

Engineered to provide a highly hygienic surface, Radianz is non-porous, which prohibits bacteria, mold, mildew and moisture from penetrating. Radianz is perfect for kitchen countertops and other high-use areas of the home, as well as commercial interior uses where long-lasting durability and color consistency are important.
