Everything you need to know about choosing, living with and working with Vault.

The surface

Vault is a premium engineered quartz surface made with Italian Bretonstone® technology. Every one of our 25 designs is full-body and through-vein, so the color and veining carry through the slab, not just across the top.

The pattern runs through the full thickness of the slab. Edges, cutouts and waterfall ends show the same color and movement as the surface, for a more natural, seamless finish.

Engineered quartz combines natural quartz with resins and pigments, compacted under vacuum and vibration into dense slabs. Vault is made with Italian Bretonstone® technology at the latest Bretonstone® plant in Jaipur, India.

Both. Engineered quartz is made mainly from natural quartz, then engineered into slabs for consistent color, pattern and performance.

Quartz offers the look of natural stone with more consistency and less upkeep. Unlike granite and marble, Vault is non-porous and never needs sealing. Marble is softer and etches with acids such as lemon juice; granite varies slab to slab.

Quartzite is a natural stone quarried in blocks and usually needs sealing. Quartz is engineered from natural quartz for consistent patterns, larger Jumbo slabs and no sealing.

Yes. Designs such as Calacatta Jade, Castello and Jus Carrara capture the soft backgrounds and flowing veins of Italian marble, and full-body, through-vein construction carries that look across edges and cutouts.

Bretonstone® is an Italian manufacturing process for engineered stone. It produces dense, consistent slabs. Vault is made in Jaipur, India, at the latest Bretonstone® plant.

Kitchen countertops and islands, waterfall edges, bathroom vanities, backsplashes, wall cladding and furniture. Vault is intended for interior use. [CONFIRM OUTDOOR / UV GUIDANCE]

Yes. Vault is non-porous and easy to clean, making it well suited to vanities, shower surrounds, tub decks and bathroom walls. [CONFIRM SHOWER / WET-AREA GUIDANCE]

Yes. Because Vault is full-body and through-vein, the veining continues down waterfall ends and across mitered edges. Jumbo slabs make full-height backsplashes and long islands possible with fewer seams.

The Vault Collection has 25 surfaces, from bright whites and soft grays to bold blacks, warm tones, greens and blues.

Sizes & finishes

Every Vault surface comes in Jumbo format: 130″ × 64″ and 137″ × 79″. Jumbo slabs allow larger islands and fewer seams.

Jumbo slabs cover more area from a single piece, so islands and backsplashes need fewer seams and veining flows uninterrupted. They can also reduce waste during fabrication.

The Vault brochure presents NSF and GREENGUARD Gold certifications, an Environmental Product Declaration (EPD), ISO 9001:2015 quality management and Bretonstone® technology. These have different scopes; see Why Vault for details. [SUPPORTING CERTIFICATE FILES AND SCOPE]

Vault is tested to international standards: water absorption below 0.03% (EN 14617-1), compressive strength above 200 MPa (ASTM C170) and a hardness of 6–7 on the Mohs scale.

Care & everyday use

For daily cleaning, wipe with warm water, a soft cloth and a mild, non-abrasive cleaner. Avoid harsh chemicals, bleach-based products and abrasive pads. [FULL CARE GUIDE]

No. Vault quartz is non-porous, so it never needs sealing, unlike granite or marble.

Vault resists staining because it is non-porous, with water absorption below 0.03%. Wipe up spills such as wine, coffee, oil and turmeric promptly for the best long-term result.

Most marks lift with warm water, mild dish soap and a soft cloth. For dried residue, use a non-abrasive cleaner and a plastic scraper. Avoid bleach, oven cleaner and scouring pads. [CONFIRM APPROVED CLEANING PRODUCTS]

Vault handles everyday kitchen use, but it is not heatproof. Always use a trivet or hot pad. Sudden, direct heat can damage any engineered quartz surface.

Please use a cutting board. It protects both your knives and the polished finish.

Small chips can usually be repaired by a professional fabricator with a color-matched resin, so the repair blends into the surface. Contact your fabricator rather than attempting a DIY fix.

Vault keeps its finish without re-polishing. If a surface is damaged, a professional fabricator can restore it. [CONFIRM REPAIR GUIDANCE]
