NKBA California Capital Chapter President, Gloria Clark, and Communications Chair, Yvonne Harty recently had the pleasure to sit down with Mark Johnson, Stuart Ayers, and Lindsay Wiebrand, three representatives from Vadara Quartz Surfaces.

The folks at Vadara see the value in furthering their partnership with NKBA, and stressed the importance of building relationships in our industry. They welcome the opportunity to mingle, educate and share experiences with NKBA members, and truly help each other do our jobs. They have found that in California NKBA is the strongest association for building the relationships that are essential for success in our industry.

Vadara’s wonderful product exploded on the scene with beautiful designs about 4 years ago, and they aggressively addressed their pricing so they can make sure they have the highest level of value in the market for quartz. Vadara is a leading producer of hand-crafted quartz surfaces. Hand-crafting is the differentiator that makes Vadara stand out as the most natural looking quartz product on the market. The product is crafted by a team of about 1500 people in Thailand who are focused on hand crafted, not printed design. This hand-crafted production uses liquid pigment that borders the veins and flows into the material to give Vadara Quartz Surfaces some of the same variation one would find in natural stone. They look as beautiful as natural stone with the affordability and performance of quartz.

Though not certified as a “Green” building material, Vadara also has some important sustainability features. Quartz is the most abundant mineral on earth, and it is very durable. This is important because it contributes to the longevity of the product, an important variable when considering sustainability. When properly maintained, a quartz countertop will last longer than a natural stone. 

To truly experience Vadara, they say seeing is believing. When you want to find a dealer location close to you to see and feel the magic of Vadara Quartz Surfaces in person, visit, https://www.vadaraquartz.com/, and look for the “where to buy” button at the top of the page. If you are in the Bay Area, or would like to take a road trip, you can visit their Hayward warehouse for a tour. There you will see the full slabs, and feel the textures and coolness of the surfaces first hand. In August Vadara will host a table at the Vendor Appreciation Fair. Please visit Mark to see and feel these beautiful surfaces in person, and of course, to make a friend in the industry!

At the end of the day, Vadara is the best looking, best feeling quartz product on the market at their price point. Visit the website to find where you can see this incredible product with your own eyes.
