3 reasons to choose quartz countertops
Reason 1: High quality, low maintenance
Undoubtedly, one of the most attractive qualities of quartz countertops is their durability: they provide a scratch-resistant, smooth surface, which can last up to a lifetime without complicated maintenance.
How?
It is important to know that quartz is an engineered material consisting of natural stones mixed with binding resins.
Due to their resin content, quartz countertops provide a non-porous surface, which does not require any additional sealing.
For the same reason, these countertops simply cannot be affected by bacteria or mold.
Besides a regular soapy scrub with a dishcloth or a gentle, non-abrasive sponge, quartz does not require special care.
Reason 2: Good for you, good for the planet
Engineered stones have multiple benefits besides their non-porosity.
One of these benefits is the fact that they are not mined.
The mining sector is responsible for 4.5 billion tons of carbon dioxide emission over the course of a single year – for comparison, an average car emits about 4.6 tons annually, almost a billion times less.
Besides not contributing to air pollution, the elements of quartz also prove the sustainability of this material, as it contains components such as recycled glass or crushed industrial waste.
It’s the textbook example of killing two birds with one stone: quartz countertops save you from the hassle of sealing and maintenance while saving the planet from pollution and piled-up waste.
Reason 3: Fits any (life)style
Whether you are renovating your tiny flat or moving into a spacious farmhouse, whether you prefer traditional colors and patterns or modern, minimalist designs, quartz is a great material to choose.
Since quartz can be easily pigmented, the coloring options of these countertops are limitless: you can find the darkest shades of black, the most delicate cream color, and everything in between.
Additionally, quartz countertops provide a durable, bacteria-free surface (which is optimal for cooking), lasting a lifetime, so they fit any lifestyle: it is an equally good countertop option whether you cook three times a day or once in a blue moon.
