About Hausys®

Ever since our first steps in 1947 at LG, we have always strived to be first. We work with customers to create better living spaces, putting customer needs ahead of LG’s. We will continue in the same spirit.

After being separated again from LG Chem’s industrial materials division, LG Hausys made a second successful start and is today Korea’s largest construction and decorative materials company. Starting with the production of vinyl sheets in 1958, the company has contributed to the enrichment of people’s lives for over 60 years, delivering excellent products and services, including Hi-Sash (the first Korean plastic windows), High Gloss sheets (which have the largest worldwide market share), HI-MACS® (acrylic hard surface), Viatera® (quartz technical stone) and integrated photovoltaics (BIPV).

Using the most advanced technology in the industry, LG Hausys designs beautiful functional spaces with environmentally friendly and practical products that make up the largest market share in its field. Also, with its active strategy to expand its local presence, LG Hausys is growing as a global company with outstanding achievements in many regions of the world, including the United States, Canada, Western Europe, China and Russia. And in the future, LG Hausys will continue to study emerging new trends in the field of housing and space to remain one of Korea’s top leaders in terms of environmental growth. LG is ready to jump into the future to last at least another 100 years.

The product

Stain resistance

Hausys® is made of 93% natural quartz, a waterproof crystalline mineral that is particularly resistant to absorption. When combined with polyester resins, natural quartz forms a non-porous material and is extremely stain resistant. Unlike other products, Hausys® does not need a sealant to ensure its tightness.
Scratch resistance
Heat resistance

Advantages of Hausys® over granite

Hausys® offers unmatched quality for any design project. Thanks to the transparency of quartz and the patented, modern technology with polyester resins and resistant pigments, Hausys® provides a durable surface without pores, which is resistant to heat, scratches and stains as compared to other products.

Quality guarantee

It consists of 93% natural quartz, one of the hardest minerals on earth. Extremely durable and easy to maintain as compared to any other natural stone, Hausys® is designed to ensure its brilliant appearance over the years.

Hausys® is a beautiful and non-porous material, more hygienic and stain resistant than other materials used for kitchen and laboratory countertops. In addition, unlike granite, Hausys® Quartz does not need sealants (impregnators and stone seals) to maintain its surface. Therefore, it is approved for use in catering establishments, hospitals, schools, shelters and other organizations for which long-term durability, hygiene and flexible design are leading requirements.

Hausys® provides the only 15-year transferable warranty for the sector.

Why quartz, exactly?

It is one of the hardest minerals on earth, surpassed only by precious stones such as topaz, sapphire and diamond. Our colors are inspired by the raw beauty of remarkable regions around the world, offering a color palette from soft and invigorating tones to passionate and saturated shades. The transparency of natural quartz gives a beauty that cannot be achieved by other production methods or techniques.

In the production of Hausys®, we combine nature with modern technologies to create unsurpassed material such as surfaces and designs for kitchen countertops, bathrooms, flooring and more. Hausys® includes different types of natural quartz mined around the world, which contributes to the difference in shades and particle concentrations, which makes each countertop unique in itself, as well as natural stone surfaces. All this is part of the authentic look of Hausys®.

Care and maintenance

Hausys® care and maintenance

The composition of Hausys® makes your countertop easy to maintain and resistant to scratches and stains. In addition, Hausys® is heat-resistant and is therefore suitable for prolonged exposure to normal cooking temperatures. Hausys® will retain its beauty and durability so you can enjoy it for many years without virtually any maintenance required.
Regular cleaning
Cleaning dry stains

For more stubborn and dry stains, a good solution is to use light non-abrasive cleaners to keep the surface smooth and shiny. Recommended cleaners include: Formula 409 Glass & Surface Cleaner, Bar Keeper’s Friend, Lysol, and Greased Lightning. For dry stains, you can use a non-abrasive sponge to remove the unwanted stain without worrying that your countertop will be scratched or damaged. Rinse well and wipe with a damp kitchen paper to remove any residue. Although Hausys® is usually resistant to most household chemicals, avoid using products that contain bleaching ingredients.
Reappearance of spots

For stubborn stains, such as gum, grease, paint, food, etc., scrape off the residue with a razor or putty knife before cleaning. Scraping the countertop can leave a gray scar from the metal knife, which is cleaned with a suitable recommended detergent and a soft non-abrasive sponge. Finally, polish with damp kitchen paper. For more stubborn stains or drops, soak paper towels in water with any of the recommended cleaners, place the towel on the stain and let it dissolve for a few minutes. Clean thoroughly with a non-abrasive sponge and detergent, wash well and polish the surface with a damp paper towel.
Polishing and compaction
One of the many qualities of Hausys® is that it does not require the application of sealant or wax during its service life. As it is free of pores, the product never loses its shine and smooth surface.

Hausys® is NOT indestructible!

Hausys® can be damaged by contact with strong chemicals and solvents. Avoid products containing trichloroethane or methylene chloride, including paint removers, battery fluid, furniture cleaners, and products containing bleaching ingredients. These products can cause permanent discoloration of the surface. In case such agents come into contact with the surface, wipe them immediately, rinse with water and then clean with a vinegar-based cleaner. If the stain cannot be removed, contact the supplier / installer of your Hausys® product. Do not use abrasive and / or alkaline cleaning products. Do not use 3M ScotchBrite® green scrub pads or other similar products as they may dull the gloss of the surface.

When testing a new cleaning product, it is always recommended to apply it first to a more hidden place on the surface and follow the instructions of the cleaning agent manufacturer.

By following the simple cleaning guidelines below, we hope you enjoy the timeless beauty and sophistication of all Hausys® quartz surfaces.

The following commercially available cleaners are recommended and are available for routine care of your Hausys® quartz surfaces:
- Non-bleaching, non-abrasive liquid household cleaners: Simple Green Lime-scale remover
- Cleaner with vinegar (dissolved)
- Bar Keeper’s Friend
- Glass and surface cleaner “Formula 409”
- Lysol
- Greased Lightning
Inherent characteristics of the material

Hausys® is a product made using 93% natural stone materials (mostly quartz) and 7% polyester resin binder. The category to which this product belongs is often referred to as “quartz veneers” within the sector. Most products in this category are manufactured using the same or a similar manufacturing process that uses vibro-compaction under vacuum pressure. This process produces plates with a thickness of either 2cm or 3cm (± 1mm) and a nominal size of 120″ x 54″.
Color

The color of each Hausys® board depends on the natural materials as well as the colors mixed with the bonding resin. The production process is designed to combine materials in such a way as to mimic the look of natural stone. As with all other products made mainly of natural materials, certain variations in the color of the background and shapes, as well as in the size and distribution of the particles can be observed. There are pigment concentrations up to a quarter of a US dollar. All this serves to enhance the natural characteristics of the quartz surface material and should in no way be considered a defect. The expected variations are generally greater than those of solid surfaces, but are less than those observed with granite. Differences in color, background or shadows that are not visible from a distance of 6 feet are considered acceptable.
Surface coating

The factory-applied surface coating of all Viatera* slabs is a polish. Quartz can withstand strong polishing, however, unlike binder resin. Therefore, the overall gloss level of a Hausys® board will be between 47 and 57, according to measurements with a gloss meter. For comparison, a granite slab usually fits between 80 and 90 when measured with such a device. As a result of the production process, small cavities can be obtained, varying in size from microscopic to those with a size of 1.5 mm (the size of a pinhead). They do not in any way affect the integrity of the slab, nor do they have any effect on the porosity of the material, as their depth does not exceed 1 mm. Do not apply wax or sealant to the Hausys® surface. These products are not absorbed by the material and only accumulate on the surface.

* Except for Cairo. The smoothed (matte) surface coating of Cairo will show more traces of daily use and requires more frequent cleaning to maintain its unique appearance. Please read the Hausys® care and maintenance guidelines.
