If you\u2019re wondering how much silica is in quartz, quartz typically has 90% and granite has 40-50%. Working around materials that contain high levels of silica can cause serious health conditions such as silicosis and lung disease. This is a result of inhaling silica dust throughout the manufacturing process.\u00a0<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-466ae81 preserve-img-ratio-fill content-align-left the7-hover-visibility-disabled transform-overlay-yes exceeding-frame-yes elementor-widget elementor-widget-the7-image-widget\" data-id=\"466ae81\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-settings=\"{&quot;hover_visibility&quot;:&quot;disabled&quot;,&quot;ekit_we_effect_on&quot;:&quot;none&quot;}\" data-widget_type=\"the7-image-widget.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"the7-image-container\"><div class=\"the7-image-wrapper the7-elementor-widget the7-transform-container\"><div class=\"post-thumbnail-rollover layzr-bg img-css-resize-wrapper\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"800\" height=\"296\" src=\"data:image\/svg+xml,%3Csvg%20xmlns%3D&#039;http%3A%2F%2Fwww.w3.org%2F2000%2Fsvg&#039;%20viewBox%3D&#039;0%200%20800%20296&#039;%2F%3E\" class=\"attachment-full size-full preload-me aspect lazy lazy-load\" alt=\"Crystalline-VS--Amorphous-Silica\" sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\" style=\"--ratio: 800 \/ 296;\" data-src=\"https:\/\/grandquartztech.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/Crystalline-VS-Amorphous-Silica.jpg\" loading=\"eager\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/grandquartztech.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/Crystalline-VS-Amorphous-Silica.jpg 800w, https:\/\/grandquartztech.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/Crystalline-VS-Amorphous-Silica-300x111.jpg 300w, https:\/\/grandquartztech.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/Crystalline-VS-Amorphous-Silica-768x284.jpg 768w\" \/><\/div><\/div><\/div>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-8fd50c0 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"8fd50c0\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-settings=\"{&quot;ekit_we_effect_on&quot;:&quot;none&quot;}\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p>On the other hand, countertops with 0 silica don\u2019t have this risk and is a contributing factor to why silica-free quartz\uff08<strong><a href=\"https:\/\/grandquartztech.com\/ar\/grand-quartz-tech-launches-new-silica-free-quartz\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" data-page_id=\"0\" data-page_name=\"\" data-page_type=\"\">Grand Quartz Tech Launches New Silica-Free Quartz<\/a><\/strong>\uff09 is gaining popularity!<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-d00104e preserve-img-ratio-fill content-align-left the7-hover-visibility-disabled transform-overlay-yes exceeding-frame-yes elementor-widget elementor-widget-the7-image-widget\" data-id=\"d00104e\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-settings=\"{&quot;hover_visibility&quot;:&quot;disabled&quot;,&quot;ekit_we_effect_on&quot;:&quot;none&quot;}\" data-widget_type=\"the7-image-widget.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"the7-image-container\"><div class=\"the7-image-wrapper the7-elementor-widget the7-transform-container\"><div class=\"post-thumbnail-rollover layzr-bg img-css-resize-wrapper\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"800\" height=\"600\" src=\"data:image\/svg+xml,%3Csvg%20xmlns%3D&#039;http%3A%2F%2Fwww.w3.org%2F2000%2Fsvg&#039;%20viewBox%3D&#039;0%200%20800%20600&#039;%2F%3E\" class=\"attachment-full size-full preload-me aspect lazy lazy-load\" alt=\"Silica-Free-Quartz\" sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\" style=\"--ratio: 800 \/ 600;\" data-src=\"https:\/\/grandquartztech.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/Silica-Free-Quartz.jpg\" loading=\"eager\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/grandquartztech.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/Silica-Free-Quartz.jpg 800w, https:\/\/grandquartztech.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/Silica-Free-Quartz-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/grandquartztech.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/Silica-Free-Quartz-768x576.jpg 768w\" \/><\/div><\/div><\/div>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-c7f7030 e-con-full e-flex e-con e-child\" data-id=\"c7f7030\" data-element_type=\"container\" data-e-type=\"container\" data-settings=\"{&quot;ekit_has_onepagescroll_dot&quot;:&quot;yes&quot;}\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-b6b4911 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"b6b4911\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-settings=\"{&quot;ekit_we_effect_on&quot;:&quot;none&quot;}\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p><strong>Benefits of choosing silica-free quartz<\/strong><br \/>The great thing about silica-free quartz is that it still has the same benefits as traditional quartz countertops, as well as the extra advantages!<\/p><p><strong>Eco-friendly<\/strong><br \/>Less silica also means less silica dust! This has a better impact on the environment because it reduces the amount of dust in the atmosphere, minimising air pollution. Plus, if silica is not used as part of the quartz mixture, manufacturers source sustainable options instead, such as recycled and resin-based materials. They are not only sustainable sources, but also ensuring that natural resources remain in the ground.<\/p><p><strong>Safer and healthier option\u00a0<\/strong><br \/>silica-free options create a safe environment for those involved in the manufacturing process. This is because exposure to silica dust risks silicosis, which is a serious lung disease that has no known cure. So, by using silica-free or\u00a0<strong><a href=\"https:\/\/grandquartztech.com\/ar\/Silica-Free-Quartz\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" data-page_id=\"0\" data-page_name=\"\" data-page_type=\"\">silica-free quartz<\/a><\/strong>, it eliminates the risk of falling ill because there are minute amounts of silica dust, compared to a dangerous amount from traditional quartz.<\/p><p><strong>Durable<\/strong><br \/>Despite having different properties to traditional silica quartz, silica-free countertops are still incredibly durable. They maintain their stain, scratch, and heat resistance which make them ideal for busy areas in the home, such as bathrooms and kitchens. They\u2019re also non-porous so they\u2019re a hygienic option for these rooms since harmful cleaning chemicals and bacteria don\u2019t seep into the surfaces! Additionally, quartz is naturally tough, so will last for years to come while looking stunning in your home.<\/p><p><strong>Stunning appearance<\/strong><br \/>silica-free quartz countertops(<a href=\"https:\/\/grandquartztech.com\/ar\/silica-free-quartz-gq-t452-calacatta-tajmahal-quartz\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" data-page_id=\"0\" data-page_name=\"\" data-page_type=\"\"><strong>Silica-free Quartz GQ-T452 | Calacatta TajMahal Quartz<\/strong><\/a>) retain their beauty.
