Kitchens are the most used rooms in the house, and nothing connects a kitchen more than the worktops. Choosing a new material for your countertops may be a difficult undertaking, and while we offer many excellent options here at The Stone Collection, we know that having quartz kitchen countertops placed has several advantages.
Is Quartz Long-Lasting?
Kitchen countertops may be pricey, so you want to make sure that whichever material you choose will last a long time. Quartz, like the resin mixture used to bond the quartz together to produce the completed countertop, is an extremely durable material. When the combination cools, it forms a solid, non-porous substance that is extremely robust and resistant to chipping and scratching.
When it comes to long-lasting countertops, many people advocate for natural stone granite – and while granite is sturdy and hence long-lasting, quartz is even more so. Quartz is an excellent choice for families that spend a lot of time in the kitchen making meals since it resists much of the typical wear and tear that comes with it. When it comes to physical forces, it is practically unbreakable, although continuous exposure to severe heat may cause discoloration over time. To prevent this from happening, use a potholder or other type of barrier between the counter and hot food.
Quartz Is Simple To Care For
The most essential thing you can do to protect the longevity and appearance of your countertops is to maintain them. Another advantage of a quartz countertop’s non-porous surface is that it is resistant to bacteria growth.
The only thing you need to do to keep quartz counters clean is to wipe them down. At the end of the day, a simple wipe-down will keep your counters appearing clean and fresh. Another important aspect of quartz care is to keep any highly hot surface away from the countertops. If you do these two things, your new quartz counters will survive for a long time.
Quartz Countertops Are Available In A Variety Of Styles
The range of types available for purchase is arguably the most significant benefit quartz offers over other natural stone worktops. Because most quartz countertops are comprised of epoxy resin, the color and design of the final product are very adjustable. Other natural stones are only available in their natural color and pattern, and while these options are certainly appealing, you may want something that complements the overall aesthetic of your house. Quartz can be manufactured into slabs that look like other stones like granite and marble, and it comes in almost any hue. Quartz is an excellent choice for kitchen countertops if you want a more consistent look. The Stone Collection offers a wide range of countertops, including:
- Quartz surfaces
- Countertops in marble
- Countertops in soapstone
