QUARTZ-LIKE FINISHED COMPOSITE COUNTERTOP AND METHOD OF MANUFACTURING

摘要

Disclosed herein is a composite product, such as a countertop, that can have an aesthetic appearance of quartz or engineered stone, and methods for manufacturing the composite product. A combination of an opaque gelcoat and particulates can be applied to a marble backing. Once a portion of the combination is sanded down to expose the particulates, the composite can have a quartz-like finished aesthetic.
