Selecting the perfect countertop is one of the most important steps in any kitchen renovation or kitchen design. A countertop is not simply a surface, but is the backbone of your kitchen’s function and style. The right material will enhance the decor and usability of the entire kitchen. Based on a variety of countertop materials available today, quartz countertops have quickly become the number one choice of homeowners and designers alike. If you are thinking about an upgrade, here are five reasons quartz countertops are a smart and stylish upgrade for your kitchen:
1. Built to Last – Incredible Strength and Durability
Quartz countertops have one of the leading features with their incredible durability. Unlike granite and marble, quartz is more resistant to the daily rigors of your kitchen. Quartz is not a natural stone. Quartz is an engineered material which is made of 90–95% natural quartz and resins which offers a very durable and longer-lasting surface..
- Scratch and Chip Resistant – Quartz can withstand the demands of an active kitchen. No matter if you are preparing a meal or placing a hot pot down, quartz is durable and will resist scratches, chips, and daily wear.
- Non-Porous and Moisture-Resistant – Unlike porous natural stones, quartz will not absorb spills or moisture. No stains, no water damage, less maintenance.
2. Low Maintenance, High Convenience
In today’s fast-paced lifestyle, easy maintenance is a must. Quartz countertops are constructed for convenience, while still maintaining a level of sophistication.
- Simple Cleaning – A soft cloth, mild detergent, and warm water are all you need to keep your countertops sparkling clean. No special cleaners or scrubbing required.
- No Sealing Necessary – Unlike other materials such as granite, which need to be sealed frequently, quartz does not. Quartz is non-porous, which means it fights bacteria and resists staining naturally.
3. Elegant Looks and Design Versatility
With a wide range of styles available, quartz countertops can look elegant in a kitchen of any style, from a sleek modern room to a cozy traditional kitchen.
- Diverse Colors and Patterns – Being an engineered product, quartz comes in a range of colors and finishes. You can have the look of white marbled grandeur; bold black surfaces; or a contemporary neutral look.
- Consistent Appearance – Unlike natural stone, which has slab to slab differences, quartz has uniformity throughout the slab which helps eliminate lineage worries, creating a seamless and cohesive appearance.
- Luxurious Finishes – Whether you prefer a high-gloss or matte finish, quartz provides you with an elegant appearance that takes the sophistication of your kitchen to the next level.
4. Resistant to Stains and Heat
There is no place more utilized in a house than the kitchen and your countertop must be able to sustain the heat. This durability makes quartz the perfect countertop for homes with lots of cooking and entertaining.
- Stain Resistant –Quartz’s non-porous surface ensures that make messes don’t get stains from coffee or oils if there is a spill and mess.
- Heat Resistant – While you should still use hot pads or trivets for safety, quartz can withstand moderate heat without being damaged. This is a dream surface for someone who is doing a lot of cooking.
5. Adds Value to Your Home
