Why You Should Buy a Quartz Countertop

Deciding whether you should buy a quartz countertop should be simple. However, as you’ll discover, there are several factors you need to consider. 

This post will explore some reasons for buying a quartz countertop and why it might be a better choice than many other materials on the market. Read on to learn more. 

Easy Maintenance

Maintaining a quartz countertop is surprisingly easy (even compared to other stones). Unlike many types of countertops, quartz doesn't require sealing or special cleaners. You just need a damp cloth and mild soap to keep it looking its best. And because quartz is non-porous, it won't harbor bacteria or stains like other materials might.

Environmentally Friendly

Another reason to consider buying quartz is that it is environmentally friendly. Because the material is a combination of natural quartz and resins, it doesn't require as much mining as other natural stone countertops. A high-quality product can last twenty years or more and serve in multiple kitchen renovations. 

Heat-Resistant

Another benefit is that quartz is naturally heat-resistant, meaning you can place hot pots and pans directly on the surface without damaging it. Quartz countertops are resistant up to 300°F, ideal for anyone who loves to cook and needs a countertop that can withstand the heat. Moreover, you can make your quartz countertop last even longer by taking sensible precautions, such as using coasters, hot pads, and trivets to protect the surface, which we highly recommend in order to keep your quartz countertop looking great for years to come. 

Stylish 

There’s no denying that quartz countertops are also stylish – another reason so many people fall in love with them. Products come in a wide range of colors and patterns, so you can choose the perfect style to complement your home's décor. Whether you want a neutral color or something bold and vibrant, there's a quartz countertop that will work for you. 

For instance, at Stoneworx®, we supply Silestone and Caesarstone countertops in every colour available. You can select from such colours as Miami Vena, Eternal Calacatta Gold, Pietra, Lusso, Piatra Grey, Statuario Maximus, and Frosty Carrina, just to name a few. These offer different patterns, colors, and textures to suit virtually any room, inside or out. 

Engineered quartz features patterns and colors that are consistent throughout the material, meaning you’ll have an elegant look that’s perfect for your home. 

Highly Durable

Durability is another much-loved benefit of quartz. The stone is one of the hardest materials on earth, which makes it an extremely durable choice for your countertops. It's scratch-resistant and can withstand daily wear and tear, making it an ideal option for busy families or any kitchen enduring regular use. 

Ultimately, quartz countertops give you peace of mind. You can use them daily without worrying about damaging them. 

Affordable

Quartz countertops are also affordable compared to other popular natural stone options, like marble and granite. While they may be slightly more expensive than some laminate or solid surface options, they are often more cost-effective because of their durability and long lifespan.

Customizable

Another reason to buy quartz countertops is that you can customize them to fit any space. You can cut them to any size and shape and choose from various edge profiles to give your countertop a unique look. You can also choose from a range of finishes, from polished to honed, to create the perfect look for your space.

Large Format Installation Options

Lastly, quartz countertops can be fit to a large range of sizes. Professional stone fabricators like Stoneworx® make them in large slabs to fit any size of project, big or small.

Conclusion

With proper care, quartz countertops can last for decades. They are a long-lasting investment for your home and can provide many years of use and enjoyment.

While it's possible to install quartz countertops yourself, it's often best to hire a professional installer. They have the tools and experience to ensure you install your new countertop safely and beautifully.
