Glass/quartz composite surface

A method of manufacturing a glass/quartz composite slab, the method comprising:

• mixing nano-glass crystals, quartz powder, glass grit, and a binding resin, the glass grit being in an amount greater than any other single material by weight of the composite slab;
• pouring the mixture in a mold;
• and
• compacting the mixture in the mold for 250-320 seconds.

A method of mixing quartz and glass aggregates, the method comprising:

• preparing a dry mix of quartz grit and glass grit;
• mixing a binding resin with the dry mix to produce a wet mix;
• mixing a 400-800 mesh microparticle with the wet mix;
• and,
• thereafter, mixing quartz powder having a particle size larger than 400 mesh with the wet mix.

A method of manufacturing a glass/quartz composite slab, the method comprising:

• preparing a mixture of quartz grit, quartz powder, glass grit, a binding resin, and microparticles to fill a void volume between the quartz grit and glass grit and increase packing density, the microparticles being in an amount 2-6 percent by weight of the mixture;
• pouring the mixture in a mold;
• and
• compacting the mixture in the mold.
