Quartz Work Surface?
Discussion
Does anyone have one? We have founded a speckled grey we really like, but we are concerned about it's heat resistance.
Few places have said they are susceptible damage at very high temperatures, but no one can give me an idea of what this is classed as.
Pan right out of the oven? Saucepan off hob? What about 20 seconds later (ie draining sauce/boiling water & then putting it down?)
Anyone who can advise on their experiences to date?
Thanks

Loving the pictures guys thank you. We have settled on Bianco Luminoso like the below on the Sage Green cabinets.
The only issue is the company we expected to go with (Worktop Factoryy) has dropped off the radar this week. Despite great customer service up until last week, the minute we tried to take them up on their offer to visit their showroom no one who can book an appointment to visit & book is available and they won't return my calls! Three e-mails and 5 phone calls has left me the night before unable to visit them!!
I gave Worktop Warehouse a ring, but they seemed a bit too casual & cash in hand friendly for my liking. ''Ill do it for around £2k mate, cash yeeeh'' which had me nervous at such a value and the need for cash up front. Again, it took several phone calls over 2 days to get hold of anyone!!!
So in short....with tomorrow set aside to visit the original supplier & having been let down I am now frantically looking for other reasonably priced sellers in the midlands area we can visit or order with!
Any recommendations?

Thanks is Prince, finding him hard work to get hold of which is frustrating. Will see how it pans out though.
On a seperate notes, did anyone come across warnings of "cheap generic Chinese quartz"? Id this a realistic problem.? Only one supplier has made an issue of it, but they are £400 more then a few of the cheapest ones I have come across?

I've got pauls mobile number - he answers that and texts quicker than emails. do you want it? if so pm me because I cant pm you..
Thanks mate, really appreciate the offer. I will hold fire just for now, this talk of genuine quartz vs fake quartz has sparked my interest. I'm also still a tad wary of 'cash in hand' at this stage, especially when the difference would 'only' be £400.
