Installing the right kitchen countertop can improve your kitchen's functionality and attractiveness. There are numerous countertop materials, including marble and granite, but quartz countertops are becoming more popular. Here are the pros of installing a quartz countertop.

Durable

Manufacturers make quartz using recyclable materials such as ceramic and stone and bind them with polymers. This results in a tough material resistant to scratching, denting, chipping, and even staining. Quartz is also heat resistant, and you can place hot pans on the surface without causing damage. Therefore, quartz can last for years without the need for repair or replacement.

Uniform

If you want to maintain the uniformity of your kitchen countertop, you may not achieve this with natural stone such as quartzite. Such stones occur naturally and have unique colors, textures, and patterns. Fortunately, you can get a uniformly colored, textured, and designed quartz kitchen countertop as manufacturers can make uniform quartz slabs. This makes your countertop look and feel consistent, improving your kitchen's aesthetics.

Non-Porous

A quartz countertop is non-porous, which means that liquids such as water can't sip through the surface. This prevents water damage that may lead to rotting. Besides, excess moisture may lead. Also, porous counters are prone to staining since spills penetrate the surface. But, quartz countertops being non-porous, won't stain easily, maintaining their attractiveness. 

Easy to Maintenance

Quartz countertops are easy to maintain as they aren't porous. For instance, you can easily clean spills and dirt from the counter, which prevents staining and the proliferation of bacteria. Additionally, you don't have to seal the countertops like natural stones like quartzite to avoid damage. This helps you avoid extra maintenance expenses.

Variety

Manufacturers create quartz counters with unique colors and designs to suit every kitchen. As a homeowner, you have various options that you can choose to fit your kitchen's style and theme. Additionally, you can order a custom-made quartz countertop with unique characteristics to suit your needs. However, understand that custom counters usually cost more than ready-made countertop designs.  So, you'll pay a little more but get the exact countertop you desire.

High Quality

When you look closely at countertops made from natural stone such as marble and granite, you may notice some naturally occurring imperfections. For instance, you may see some minute cracks or pits. Although these cracks and holes may not be noticeable, they may enlarge with time, making your countertop unattractive and less functional. Manufacturers produce high-quality quartz countertops without these imperfections.

Quartz countertops are durable, high-quality, easy to maintain, non-porous, uniform, and provide variety. Consider installing a quartz countertop in your kitchen to enjoy these benefits.
