QUARTZ CARE & MAINTENANCE KIT
A Sheridan care kit includes everything you need to keep your
worktop in first class condition, simply follow the instructions for a
trouble free, good looking worktop.
We feel that the inclusion of our Care Kit, is a must, given a number
of problems which in our experience are often preventable.
Including this kit will greatly reduce the occurance of such problems
in the future.
A Care Kit will be sent out with every worktop order, the cost will be
shown on all our quotations and invoices.
Contents of the Kit
1 bottle of 500ml of Stone Detergent, 1 bottle of 500ml of Stone
Clean, 1 pair of disposable gloves, 2 White Cloths, 1 White
Scotchbrite, 1 Care & Maintenance Booklet.
Stone Detergent
Keep your worktop clean by applying our specially formulated
cleaner regularly to your worksurface.
For general cleaning of your worksurface this should be diluted 1 -
100. For heavier grease and stains, this dilution rate can be reduced
accordingly.
The detergent is then left for 15 minutes and washed away with
water.
Stone Clean
Cut the scale that may form from water
deposits on your Apollo®
Quartz or Zodiaq® worksurface
by applying Stone Clean.
Simply spray sparingly onto your
worksurface and buff up with a
cloth and revive your as new
shine.
For more comprehensive details
about caring for your Apollo®
Quartz or Zodiaq® worksurface,
consult your Sheridan Care &
Maintenance booklet.
TECHNICAL SPECIFICATION

Apollo® Quartz / Zodiaq® is available in a choice of colours tocompliment your kitchen.
For installations you will need to supply additional labour on orderswhich have worktops weighing above 150kg. For supply only pleasenote we only supply one driver, you will need to supply additionallabour for orders which have worktops weighing above 75kg. Everyadditional 75kg requires an extra man to assist with lifting.
STAINLESS STEEL SINKS
Please specify the preferred undermounting of Stainless Steel Sinks.
Silicone sealant may be rendered ineffective when plumbing the sinkin, it is important that the sink is re-sealed by the plumber, or the12months guarantee will be invalid if the work is not carried out..
INTERNAL RADIUS
Internal profile edges on all edge detail other than bevel edge musthave a radius of at least 60mm. Bevel edges don’t have this constraintas they are hand finished.
UPSTANDS
Upstands should ideally be 100mm high, as under this upstands areextremely fragile.
HOT STUFF
Hot pots, pans and dishes should not be placed directly ontoworksurfaces, always use a hot pan platter.
PROPERTIES
• Complete with polished finish.
• Ideal for vanity tops, worksurfaces, cladding etc.
• Extremely hard, 7 on the ‘Moh’s Hardness scale’.
• Zodiaq® quartz surfaces are very easy to maintain.
• The quartz used coupled with high-performance, stain resistantpolymers results in a durable, non-porous, chemical resistant surface.
• Apollo® Quartz / Zodiaq® keeps its lustrous gloss and ultra-smoothsurface without polishing. Because it is nonporous, it does not requiresealants or waxes.
CUTOUTS

QUARTZ
AESTHETICSQUARTZ
Joints in Quartz worksurfaces are finished with a small ariss to the topedge, silicone sealant is then applied to prevent liquid penetrationof the joint.
Apollo® Quartz / Zodiaq® is also scratch-resistant, but not scratch-proof. Therefore, the use of a cutting board is recommended whenusing a knife.
Sometimes spills occur and dry on the worktop. For materials thatharden as they dry (such as gum, food, grease, nail polish or paint),remove by gently scraping away the excess with a plastic putty knife.
Permanent markers and inks may adhere to the surface and shouldbe avoided. Should these agents come into contact with thesurface, clean first as outlined in Care & Maintenance booklet.
If the stain persists, moisten a cloth with Stone Detergent and rub itinto the stain. Let the cleaning agent sit for 15 minutes and wipe thesurface clean with the cloth provided. Rinse thoroughly to removeany cleaner residue.
Size of slab, is a major factor in selecting the maximum usable lengthof a work surface. Approximately 3m x 1.3m is the largest worksurface we are able to manufacture, this may be reduced if yourequire a cutout.
Avoid exposing Apollo® Quartz / Zodiaq ® s u rfaces to stro n gchemicals and solvents, especially paint removers or furn i t u restrippers containing trichlorethane or methylene chloride.
Keep nail polish remover, bleach, bluing, permanent markers or inks,and oil soaps away from Apollo® Quartz / Zodiaq®.
While casual exposure to alkaline materials will not damage it, highlyalkaline (high-pH) cleansers are not recommended when cleaningApollo® Quartz / Zodiaq®.
If any of the substances listed above come into contact with Apollo®
Quartz / Zodiaq®, rinse the exposed surface immediately andthoroughly with water.

WEIGHT/AREA RATIO
Maximum Length with cut out
The table also shows our
recommendations for the
maximum length when a cut out is
to be included in a granite
worksurface.
Unpolished Sink/Hob cut out
• Barred* Front & Back
• L a rge cut outs need to be
scored and cored on occasions.
• This leaves the corners of the
cutout in place, ready for
removal on-site by the installer.
Polished Sink cut out
• Barred* must be 90mm min from
front to back.
• U n b a r red - 300mm below
maximum re c o m m e n d e d
length. Still 90mm from front to
back.
* The term used to describe the
fitting of steel support bars to give
additional support to cutouts.
Without steel supports bars, the
length of a cut out is reduced
considerably.
Handling worktops is always at least a two man job, forexample a 30mm granite top 2.6m long x .6m = 145kg or 23stone!!
Granite is a very hard but brittle surface and great care mustalways be taken when handling or installing it.
Additional labour may be required for installations where theweight of a worktop is over 150kg, each further 75kg willrequire an additional man to assist with handling.The table above gives a breakdown of the weight per metre foreach colour.

The following table lists some of the commercially available cleaning products suitable for
the routine care and maintenance of Zodiaq® quartz surfaces. Other alternatives can be used
as long as the basic cleaner characteristics are the same.
Do not use abrasive and/or alkaline
cleaning products. A limited, short exposure
to alkaline product(s) should not damage
your Zodiaq® quartz surfaces though.
Do not use 3M ScotchBrite® scrub pads or
similar as continued use may eventually dull
the surface shine of your quartz surface.
Always try the cleaner first on a hidden place
of the quartz surface and follow the cleaner
manufacturer’s use instructions.
Cleaning product should be kept out of reach
of children and pets!
Do exercise proper care when handling and
storing cleaning products.

the new Quartz Surfaces from DuPont™
Use & Care Guidelines
Z O D I A Q ®
DuPont™ Zodiaq® is the naturally beautiful,
durable and hygienic quartz surface material
used for kitchen tops, bath and shower
surrounds, vanity tops, furniture and many
other interior decoration applications.
These guidelines will answer your questions
on how to use and care for DuPont™ Zodiaq®
quartz surfaces.
Like all fine materials, Zodiaq® responds best
when handled with due care and attention.
Congratulations if you have just installed ZODIAQ® Quartz Surfaces
We want you to enjoy the natural beauty and special aesthetics of Zodiaq® for years to come
Getting acquaintedwith Zodiaq®
DuPont™ Zodiaq® quartz surfaces are easy
to maintain. The natural quartz crystals used
in Zodiaq® in combination with stain-resistant
polymers, result in a smooth, non-porous,
high gloss surface.
Because of its almost exclusive quartz crystal
content the surface aesthetics of Zodiaq®
may slightly vary in colour uniformity as
with any natural stone product.
Common household spills – such as wine,
vinegar, tea, coffee, lemon juice, soda, fruit
or vegetable juice spills – are easily removed
and the surface restored to its original highly
polished appearance.
Quartz is one of the hardest materials
in nature, which is your assurance that
your Zodiaq® surface will not easily scratch
or chip. The use of a cutting board is
nevertheless recommended.
Zodiaq® will withstand limited exposure
to normal cooking temperatures from pots,
pans and dishes. To maintain the natural
beauty of Zodiaq®, do not place hot skillets
or roasting pans directly onto the surface
but use a hot pad instead.
Zodiaq® quartz surfaces are generally
resistant to most common household
chemicals. Should you accidentally spill
a household chemical on your Zodiaq® surface
it is good practice to blot it up immediately
and rinse it with plenty of clean water.
Routine cleaning of Zodiaq® Quartz Surfaces
Even though Zodiaq® resists permanent
staining when exposed to common household
liquids (such as wine, vinegar, tea, coffee,
lemon juice and soda) or fruits and vegetables,
it is recommended to wipe up food and liquid
spills as soon as possible. Remember, it is
always easier to wipe up a spill than to have
to deal with a dried-in stain.
For daily cleaning of your Zodiaq® quartz
surfaces use a damp white cloth and,
if necessary, a small amount of non-bleach,
non-abrasive liquid household cleanser
or a household vinegar/water solution
(always follow the manufacturers dilution
instructions).
For stubborn spills, use a household vinegar
cleaner together with a non-abrasive
cleaning pad. Rinse thoroughly to remove
any residue and dry with a white paper
towel or a white cloth. Repeat if necessary.
Removal of dried-in spills
Sometimes spills occur and dry-in on the
worktop. For materials that harden
as they dry, such as gum, food containing
natural dyes (mustard, curry, etc.), grease,
nail polish, paint, etc., remove by gently
scraping away the residue material with
a blunt plastic scraper.
Then clean the quartz surface with
a household vinegar/water solution
(always follow the manufacturers dilution
instructions) or with a non-abrasive cleaning
pad together with a non-bleach, non-abrasive
liquid household cleanser and rinse
thoroughly with clean water.
Dry the surface with a clean white paper
towel or white cloth. Repeat if necessary
with a household vinegar cleaner.
Permanent markers/ink and some chemicals,
solvents or dyes may cause permanent
discoloration to the surface and should be
avoided. Should these agents come into
contact with the surface, wipe up immediately
and rinse with plenty of water. Then clean
with a household vinegar cleaner.
If stain persists, please contact the supplier
and/or installer of your DuPont™ Zodiaq®
quartz surfaces for further assistance.
Avoid chemicals, solventsand dyes
Aggressive chemicals, solvents or dyes,
especially paint removers, car battery liquid
or furniture strippers may cause permanent
damage to your Zodiaq® surface. Also keep
bleach containing products, permanent
markers, printing inks away from your
DuPont™ quartz surface.
If Zodiaq® is accidentally exposed to any
chemicals, solvents or dyes, blot up material
immediately and rinse the surface thoroughly
with plenty of clean water. Repeat if necessary.
Dry surface with a clean white paper towel
or a white cloth.
If more permanent damage occurs, please
contact your supplier and/or installer of
your DuPont™ Zodiaq® quartz surfaces
for further assistance.
Polishing Zodiaq®
Quartz Surfaces
Because tough DuPont™ Zodiaq® is
non-porous there is generally no need
for extra and time-consuming polishing.
Your decorative quartz material will keep
its lustrous gloss and ultra-smooth surface
for years to come.
Enjoy the beauty of Zodiaq® Quartz Surfaces
Most of the above care guidelines, you
probably already follow instinctively.
But we hope these reminders will be useful
to you. We would like you to enjoy
the beauty of Zodiaq® quartz surfaces in
your home, for a long time to come.
