![]() The kitchen countertop is a busy area involving different tools in use. That makes it prone to recurrent damage that may sometimes be costly. It, therefore, requires a material that can withstand cracks, scratches, heat, and stains. One such material is quartz, but why is it popular among homeowners? Here is why. Durability Kitchen counters demand strong materials since it's a busy surface for various food preparation activities. Quartz is a countertop fitting material made from 90% slabs of stone, 10% colored pigments, and binding polymers. That makes it tough, thus no chips, scratches, or stains. It also helps it withstand bangs from knives, cups, plates, and other kitchen accessories. You can have it without the worry of damage and fixing cracks. It gives an assurance of long-term service. It is Non-porous The design of quartz countertops makes them non-porous, meaning there are no cracks or holes to soak in anything. The benefits of being non-porous are that it needs no sealing. It makes it easy to install, unlike other materials that require sealing. It's also more sanitary as no spills or liquid get into it, bringing bacteria and viruses. While that is not to say that you shouldn't clean it, it's just that you don't have to worry about spills ruining your countertop. Additionally, they have a smooth surface making them easy to clean or wipe off. It is Stylish With quartz, you can have a custom colour or pattern to fit your taste and preference. You can choose one that mimics concrete, marble, or granite, depending on your preference. It's also made to order, depending on your desired design. The finishing also has a variety of choices, including shiny, matte, leather, or polished. You can have the preferred design that complements your kitchen interior decor and still have the assurance of durability and easy maintenance. Low Maintenance Another reason quartz is popular is that it requires little to no maintenance. Countertops made from this material don't need any wax coating and sealants, unlike most other materials. That means no regular polishing or re-coating to keep them looking new. Due to its non-porous nature, it doesn't need intense scrubbing either. You only need basic household cleaners without using any special cleansers. Great Long-term Investment Quartz countertops are a long-term investment to any homeowner due to their longevity and low maintenance. You don't need to keep replacing or repairing them yearly, which would cost you money. Its low maintenance and the ability to clean easily use less money in the long run. Additionally, since it's popular, you can trust that it will be a selling point if you want to put your house on the market. Every homebuyer wants a kitchen that is both stylish and easy to maintain. You, too, can take advantage of quartz countertops to give your kitchen an excellent look while enjoying its durability and ease of maintenance.
