NEO CRYSTAL by Avant Quartz - a revolution in the quartz surface market

At a time when environmental responsibility and innovation are rapidly changing the industry, Avant Quartz has taken a bold step forward with the launch of NEO CRYSTAL, a new collection of quartz surfaces based on Zero Silica technology. This is not just a simple refresh of the product range, but a sign of a fundamental change in the construction and architecture industry's approach to sustainability, worker safety and environmental impact.

In construction and design, there has been a particularly strong need for materials that offer exceptional aesthetics, durability and environmental credentials. NEO CRYSTAL is therefore a solution that responds to these needs, combining advanced technology with a consistent approach to sustainability.

Avant Quartz has long believed that the future of modern materials lies at the intersection of innovation and environmental responsibility. The development of the NEO CRYSTAL collection is the result of years of research, technological development and a commitment to creating solutions that benefit both people and the planet.

The collection is based on three pillars: innovative materials, technological progress and setting standards that can become a benchmark for the entire industry. Each of these elements has a significant impact on the design, production and application of quartz surfaces in modern interiors and outdoor spaces.

Avant Quartz is pursuing a long-term strategy of transitioning to more environmentally friendly production methods and the NEO CRYSTAL collection is the first tangible step in this direction - a series of decors created with the environment and human safety in mind, while not compromising on the technical parameters expected by professionals.

At the heart of the NEO CRYSTAL collection is Zero Silica technology, an eco-friendly solution that changes the composition of quartz surfaces. The entire production process has been designed to reduce environmental impact:

Water conservation - up to 99% of the water used in production is treated and reused, significantly reducing resource consumption. At a time when water scarcity is affecting more and more communities around the world, this level of conservation demonstrates true environmental responsibility.

Renewable energy - production is based entirely on renewable energy sources, which reduces emissions associated with the manufacturing process.

Recycled materials - between 30% and 80% of the raw materials used in the NEO CRYSTAL collection are recycled, reducing the demand for virgin materials and giving new life to materials that would otherwise have ended up in landfill.

These elements come together to create a process that respects both environmental constraints and human health. It is a consistent, technical approach to production that can become a benchmark for the entire industry.

With materials designed with the environment in mind, the question often arises as to whether the ecological benefits come at the expense of technical parameters. NEO CRYSTAL shows that in this case, such a compromise is not necessary. Avant Quartz proves that a sustainable approach can go hand in hand with high material performance.

The collection meets the highest international standards used in construction and architecture, giving architects, designers and contractors confidence in the durability and performance of the surfaces. As a result, NEO CRYSTAL materials can also be used in the most demanding projects.

Key advantages include:

Durability - NEO CRYSTAL surfaces are highly resistant to damage and retain their properties even in demanding conditions. This translates into a long product life cycle and less frequent replacements or renovations, thus reducing the costs and environmental impact associated with the production and installation of new materials.

Stain resistance - the non-porous structure provides effective protection against moisture and stains, which is ideal for kitchens, bathrooms and other spaces exposed to frequent contact with water and dirt. This facilitates daily care and reduces the need for strong cleaning agents.

Wear resistance - in high-traffic areas, surfaces must withstand heavy use. NEO CRYSTAL retains its appearance for years, even in commercial applications where daily use of the material is very high.

Compliance with safety standards - the collection meets OSHA requirements and international industry standards, providing confidence at every stage - from production and processing to use at the final destination.

These parameters are confirmed by the standard 10-year warranty provided by Avant Quartz for NEO CRYSTAL surfaces. This proves that the company takes responsibility for customer satisfaction and the durability of its products in the long term.

Although the technical parameters and environmental benefits are the foundation of NEO CRYSTAL's value, aesthetics still play a key role in architecture and interior design. The first NEO CRYSTAL collection includes three distinctive designs, each of which offers a completely different visual effect:

9060 Patagonia Martinica - a pattern inspired by natural rock formations, with a distinct vein pattern and depth of texture. Patagonia Martinica works well in both modern and more classic arrangements, offering versatility that is highly valued by designers.

7070 Calacatta Versailles - an interpretation of classic marble, based on a light background and subtle veins. Calacatta Versailles is ideal for designs that focus on elegance and understated luxury, providing the effect of natural stone without the maintenance requirements.

9030 Royal Beige - a fairly light, neutral decor in shades of beige and grey, covered with an irregular grid of thin veins. The pattern is calm and soft, without any sharp contrasts or lines, giving the surface a natural and light appearance. The whole resembles delicately aged natural stone and does not dominate the interior, but provides a subtle background.

Each of the decors is created using the same rigorously controlled production process, which ensures consistent quality and technical parameters across the entire collection. The patterns have been carefully designed with contemporary aesthetic preferences in mind, while retaining a timeless charm that will never go out of fashion. As a result, the collection is not dependent on short-lived, quickly passing trends.

The introduction of NEO CRYSTAL brings measurable benefits to various professional groups working in the construction and design industries. Understanding these benefits explains why this collection is more than just another product option - it is a catalyst for positive change throughout the entire chain of new technology development.

Stone processing and manufacturing companies

For stone processing companies and manufacturing plants, NEO CRYSTAL solves one of the industry's most important problems: employee safety. The elimination of crystalline silica removes a key health hazard associated with quartz surface processing, allowing companies to:

• process material without the need for costly dust extraction systems designed to work with crystalline silica,
• reduce the costs of monitoring employee health and complying with restrictive standards related to silica dust exposure,
• attract and retain skilled professionals for whom workplace safety is increasingly important,
• demonstrate social responsibility and concern for the well-being of the team in a credible manner.

Furthermore, the ability to work with advanced, sustainable technologies enhances the company's reputation and market position, especially as environmental awareness influences purchasing decisions throughout the supply chain.

Architectural companies

For architects, NEO CRYSTAL is a modern solution that combines technological benefits with the requirements of environmentally responsible design. The ability to specify materials with proven environmental credentials makes it easier to meet increasingly stringent green building standards such as LEED, WELL and other certification systems.

Architects can confidently include NEO CRYSTAL surfaces in their designs, knowing that the materials support investors' sustainability goals without compromising the quality of the design or performance parameters. This is particularly important in projects where environmental performance directly translates into certification levels and, consequently, the budget for the entire investment.

Interior designers

Interior designers are under constant pressure to create solutions that are fresh, innovative and in line with their clients' values. NEO CRYSTAL expands the choice of design materials based on the principles of sustainable development, giving greater freedom to work on projects where environmental issues are of considerable importance.

The variety of designs in the collection shows that a responsible approach does not limit aesthetics. Designers gain access to modern, eco-friendly materials that allow them to realise ambitious concepts and strengthen their position by working with technologies that meet the contemporary expectations of their clients.

Furniture manufacturers

For furniture manufacturers, especially kitchen and bathroom furniture manufacturers, the ability to work with eco materials is becoming increasingly important in customers' purchasing decisions. As environmental awareness grows, consumers are more likely to choose manufacturers who can offer responsible alternatives, which translates into a real competitive advantage.

Production based on solutions that comply with international sustainability standards also facilitates entry into new foreign markets.

Although the benefits for professionals are significant, the collection can ultimately only be classified as a success or failure based on the effect it has on end users - the owners of houses, flats, businesses and other facilities where the material is used. They are the ones who will ultimately assess its durability, strength and comfort of everyday use.

Innovative materials for the modern lifestyle

Contemporary interiors must withstand intensive use, both in homes and commercial spaces. NEO CRYSTAL surfaces offer performance parameters tailored to the dynamic pace of life, without the environmental burdens that often accompany traditional premium materials. The combination of aesthetics, functionality and a responsible approach to production meets the expectations of increasingly conscious users who want to use durable and well-designed solutions without compromising on environmental protection.

Durability and functionality

High resistance to damage, stains and wear means that NEO CRYSTAL surfaces retain their original appearance for years, even in demanding conditions. This translates into real long-term value - a material that looks just as good after years of use as it did when it was first installed. Another important advantage is its easy maintenance. All you need to keep NEO CRYSTAL surfaces in good condition is a soft cloth, water and a mild detergent, without the need for specialised, strong chemicals or time-consuming maintenance.

Ecology without compromise

It is also important for end users to feel that they are making a sensible choice. They benefit from a high-quality surface and at the same time know that the material has been produced with respect for the environment - using renewable energy, recycled raw materials and processes that reduce water consumption. For an increasing number of people, such decisions are important in their everyday life and NEO CRYSTAL allows you to choose durable and aesthetic solutions.

The introduction of NEO CRYSTAL is not just the launch of a new product. It is a sign of the changes that are increasingly evident in the modern materials industry. Environmental issues are no longer niche considerations, but are becoming fundamental requirements. Manufacturers are faced with a choice: adapt or become a company that cannot keep up with the changing market. Avant Quartz's decision to invest in more responsible production methods places the company among those who take this change seriously. NEO CRYSTAL shows that sustainable production can go hand in hand with high technical parameters, refined aesthetics and business profitability. However, this requires consistency, technological development and a willingness to make long-term investments.

This approach is gradually raising the bar for the entire industry. As similar solutions become more widespread, the overall environmental impact of production is reduced, work safety is improved and technological standards are becoming higher than they were just a few years ago.

The NEO CRYSTAL collection is based on a set of clearly defined principles: the development of materials based on modern technology, a responsible approach to the environment and innovations that can be applied in practice. This approach goes beyond this single series and shows the direction in which Avant Quartz wants to develop its product portfolio. NEO CRYSTAL is the first step in a longer process of change. It sets the framework for the company's future activities in the area of product development and production, assuming the gradual introduction of more innovative solutions across the brand's entire range. We warmly encourage you to follow the next steps - they will be just as inspiring!
