Samsung® Radianz™ Adds Two Colors to Quartz Surfaces Line
New color varieties provide more versatility for residential and commercial projects. More than 26 distinctive colors are now available in the Radianz line.

The two new colors, Caucasus Gray and Kunlun Ink, provide a consistent texture throughout the entire surface. Unlike granite and other stone products, Radianz Quartz offers a non-porous, hygienic and aesthetically consistent surfacing option.

Radianz is comprised of more than 93 percent natural quartz crystals, one of the hardest minerals found in nature. Color controlled quartz is blended with technologically advanced polymers, resulting in a luxurious and smooth high-gloss material that does not require sealing.

“We’re committed to providing beautiful, yet versatile and durable surfaces,” said Dale Mandell, Samsung Surface’s North America sales manager. “These new color varieties provide even more choices for homeowners, remodelers and designers seeking a high-quality natural surface for residential and commercial projects.”
