Taj Luminance in detail
About Taj Luminance
Taj Luminance is quarried quartzite, not engineered quartz. The two names cause endless confusion; this one is a natural stone, and it is harder than granite. The pale ground keeps a room feeling open, and it is the shade most often specified where the stone has to sit quietly behind the rest of a scheme.
The practical case for Taj Luminance is that it survives being used. It resists scratching better than granite, tolerates heat, and does not etch on contact with lemon or wine. Seal it on installation and it will take a busy kitchen without complaint.
We supply Taj Luminance as gangsaw slabs, cutter slabs, tiles and countertops, in 18 mm, 20 mm and 30 mm, finished to your specification. Slabs are graded for shade before packing so a single order ships as one visual lot, and cut-to-size components are measured against the approved drawing before they leave the floor.
Frequently asked
What sizes and thicknesses does Taj Luminance come in?
Standard thicknesses are 18 mm, 20 mm and 30 mm. Slabs u2014 260u2013320 u00d7 150u2013190 cm; Tiles u2014 30u00d760, 60u00d760 cm; Custom cut-to-size. Anything outside these is cut to your drawing.
Which finishes are available?
We supply Taj Luminance in Polished, Honed, Leathered and Brushed. The right one depends on the application u2014 tell us where the stone is going and we will recommend rather than guess.
What is Taj Luminance best used for?
It is commonly specified for kitchen countertops, flooring, wall cladding, feature walls, exterior facades and table tops. If your application is not on that list, ask u2014 the answer is often yes, with the right finish.
Does Taj Luminance vary between slabs?
Yes. Taj Luminance is quarried, so veining and background tone move from slab to slab. Quartzite is often bought for a single dramatic run, so tell us at enquiry stage if the slabs need to be sequenced or book-matched and we will select the lot accordingly.
Can Taj Luminance be used outdoors?
Yes. Taj Luminance is a natural stone with no resin in it, so ultraviolet light does not affect it and it handles a freeze-thaw cycle. Specify a honed or leathered finish for anything walked on outdoors so it stays grippy when wet.
How much maintenance does it need?
Seal it on installation and re-seal every year or two, because quartzite is porous even though it is hard. Day to day it needs only warm water and a pH-neutral cleaner. It will not etch from a lemon the way marble does.
Where is Taj Luminance quarried?
Quarry origin for this shade is confirmed at enquiry stage u2014 ask the export desk and we will tell you exactly where the block comes from.
Can I get a sample before ordering?
Yes. We send physical samples of any shade in the catalogue before you commit, and for larger orders we will photograph the actual slabs allocated to you prior to crating.
How is it packed for export?
Film wrapping, EPE foam between every surface, edge and corner protection, then heat-treated fumigated timber crates on moisture-resistant pallets. Loading is supervised and photographed before the container is sealed.
