Quartz is one of the most popular countertop choices for many reasons. It is one of the strongest countertops out there; it is extremely hard and non-porous, so it resists stains and spills and can be easily cleaned. It does not easily crack, which further adds to its durability. Finally, unlike quartzite, quartz comes in an array of colors and designs, giving it the versatility to match any kitchen. Quartz is so strong that it lasts: you can expect your quartz countertops to last as long as your kitchen.
Before deciding on quartz for your counters, it's important to note that it is sensitive to heat and one of the pricier options for counters. It is also extremely heavy, so professional installation is a must. Because quartz counters are manmade, it's important to pay attention to the manufacturer you use to ensure that eco-friendly products are used in its production. Furthermore, if you have a large counter space, seams are inevitable. However, if you have the right space, quartz is a perfect choice.
