This resin thing is a misconception, most manufacturers are doing their best to reduce resin content as it's the single most expensive component when producing engineered stone tops. So cheap tops are likely to have too little resin not too much.

The water one is new to me though - who told you quartz sucks up masses water? The single biggest selling point of Quartz is is almost complete lack of absorption, it's why it passes to many bacteria and hygiene standards.

The main problem with quartz tiles in the UK is anything less than 15mm thick is not really suitable for flooring, it's not structurally stable enough - add UFH to that and it's a recipe for failure.

A combo of reading on websites and bal technical.
Forgive me if I'm wrong... But I think I'm correct in what adhesives etc I'm using.
