Countertops can make or break the aesthetic of your kitchen or bathroom. Whereas outdated countertops would leave your space looking dull and drab, countertops made of premium materials complement the rest of your space beautifully. There are many countertop materials to choose from, but one of the most beautiful and convenient is quartz.
There is a lot to love about quartz countertops:
- Unique Appearance – Quartz countertops are manmade, as opposed to natural stone countertops. They do contain natural quartz stone, but they can also incorporate resins, colors, and other materials, which allow for the creation of a totally unique look that caters to your specific tastes. Beautiful colors, textures, and veining elevate quartz countertops, enhancing the look of your kitchen or bathroom.
- Easy Maintenance – Unlike natural stone, quartz countertops are nonporous. They won’t absorb stains or moisture, so there is no need to seal them regularly—or at all, for that matter. Cleaning quartz countertops is simple. Dish soap and a microfiber cloth or soft sponge will keep your quartz countertops sanitary and looking fantastic.
- Hardness – Quartz countertops are desirable for their hardness because that means they are more durable and resistant to scratches. On the Mohs scale of hardness, quartz comes in at 7–7.5. For comparison, a diamond is the hardest mineral in the world, and it ranks as a 10 on the same scale.
