VelaTaj Quartz Countertops
VelaTaj has a soft white background with elegant gold veining that sweeps across the slab, inspired by Taj Mahal quartzite.
Is VelaTaj Quartz right for your kitchen?
IvoryTaj Quartz is part of MSI's Q+ line, an engineered stone made with crushed natural minerals and resin on a recycled glass base, with the pattern running through the full body of the slab. MSI states Q surfaces are non-porous, never need sealing, and resist stains and etching from acidic foods.
Like the rest of MSI's Q+ line, MSI lists VelaTaj at less than 1% crystalline silica. It comes in polished and brushed finishes.

What edge is best for VelaTaj Quartz?
MSI recommends a mitered edge for Q+ surfaces, because the pattern is on the surface of the slab. A mitered edge also gives the look of a thicker countertop.
