A quartz countertop is durable, non-porous, and lasts for years.
Marble and granite countertops are made of natural stone, which is a great choice for kitchens that have a rustic, natural look. However, there are also many benefits to a manufactured quartz countertop. Because it’s man-made, there are a wider variety of colors and styles to choose from. Plus, the manufacturer can eliminate some of the shortcomings that you’ll find in marble or granite countertops. Read on to learn more about why a quartz countertop may be the perfect addition to your dream kitchen.
Non-Porous
Non-porous surfaces are essential in a kitchen that is used heavily. Because quartz countertops have a non-porous surface, this means that they won’t absorb stains or smells like marble or granite may do after long periods of use with low maintenance. With a quartz countertop, you don’t need to worry about maintaining your countertops on a daily basis. All it takes to clean a quartz countertop is a simple wipe with a damp cloth. If something spills on your countertops, you don’t have to worry about it staining if you aren’t able to clean it up right away. Plus, the non-porous surface of a quartz countertop is also more resistant to bacteria, so it’s a safer choice if you have children.
Stronger
Another benefit of quartz countertops is that they are stronger that granite without feeling so hard. Many people choose quartz countertops because they don’t like the hardness of other natural stone countertops. Plus, while natural stone may chip, quartz countertops are sturdier and less likely to chip or crack. This means that there’s less of a chance that you’ll have to get your countertops replaced due to damage. If you’re looking for timeless stone countertops that are easy to maintain, clean, and sturdy, then quartz countertops are your best choice.
