Reasons to Consider Quartz Countertops
Quartz is a manufactured product and can be very attractive. The manufacturing process allows a much wider range of colors than you’ll discover in natural stones including marble or granite. The appearance of the finished engineered stone is rich, even luxurious. The finish has a depth that can’t be produced with solid surface materials like Corian.
Quartz has the identical durability as concrete and granite however is pretty a bit more forgiving, so it won’t chip or crack as easily. It doesn’t have the same hardness in the feel that some people find unpleasant.
Like other hard surface countertop stones, quartz is non-porous so it resists staining much better than granite or marble. It stands up to wine, juice, oil, coffee, and other sources of stains in the kitchen. For cleanliness, a non-porous surface means that it will not harbor bacteria or viruses. You can always be confident that you are getting your quartz countertop absolutely clean, and that’s a great advantage in both the kitchen and the bathroom.
For a contemporary look with very low maintenance required, quartz countertops are definitely worth considering. In most cases, quartz countertops should meet or exceed your expectations.
