Quartz is low maintenance, high durability and offers endless color choices. Quartz offers a tempting and intensely colorful alternative to natural stone countertops.
Color is most definitely a huge factor with homeowners/designers these days. Quartz countertops need to coordinate with not only what was in the kitchen, but what was in all those other areas of the home as well. Quartz offers amazing new color choices that coordinate perfectly in any area.
Homeowners are absolutely loving the fact that quartz permits color choices never before obtainable in stone. Interestingly enough, the best features of quartz are actually invisible.
Quartz countertops are close to indestructible! They are so durable that most manufacturers offer a warranty, something you won't find with, say, granite or marble. And, quartz isn't porous like other stone surfaces, so these countertops are much more sanitary in your home, especially the kitchen. You can keep them 99.9 percent bacteria-free because they have anti-microbial properties. This means that they are odor and bacteria resistant. Now’s that clean kitchen area that every family would love to have in their home.
Quartz’s durability means that, unlike other types of stone countertops, quartz resists staining or corrosion from cooking oils, liquids and most household cleaning products — so there's no need for periodic resealing of the surface. Quartz can be damaged by excessive heat, however, so homeowners should use trivets or heating pads.
Quartz countertops also offers homeowners more edging options, just like natural stone. However, quartz also offers other design possibilities as well. It's more flexible to work with and is held in place using glue and epoxy instead of screws, quartz can be used on larger vertical surfaces like backsplashes and even shower enclosures, without the fissures and seams.
Despite its many advantages, installation of quartz countertops isn't a job for the average do-it-yourselfer; the companies that make and sell engineered quartz certify their own installation experts. Installation is a bit of a pain so you will need to have professional installers to do the job right.
Also, because engineered quartz is significantly heavier than other stone surfaces, there are some special installation considerations.
It's important to make sure that you look at structural issues before installing quartz countertops, especially on upper floors. The installer also needs to be sure that the cabinets are sound.
