22 Oct 5 Benefits of Natural Quartz Countertops

Natural quartz countertops regularly top the list when it comes to selecting a material for your kitchen countertops, dining bar, meal-prep island or bathroom counters. And why not? Natural quartz countertops are customizable, come in a variety of colors and styles, and are very undemanding when it comes to maintenance-quite unlike other natural surface countertops.

As the natural surface countertop trend ramped up builders and home improvement companies were able to offer homeowners a wide selection of materials. Granite, marble, quartz, soapstone and slate, once only found in high-end homes, were now appealing to mass audiences. The trend wore on, but it became more obvious that only one of these materials was durable enough to stand up to today’s busy families and not need any special treatment to stay beautiful.

With the durability of stone and laminate’s low-maintenance requirements, natural quartz took the lead as the preferred countertop material. And with good reason. The benefits of natural quartz countertops help homeowners know that quartz is king when it comes to stone surfaces in kitchen and bath.

5 Benefits of Natural Quartz Countertops

There are many reasons why this material outperforms any other option for kitchen or bathroom counter surfaces. Here are the top five benefits to selecting natural quartz countertops for your home.

Natural Quartz is Non-Porous

Spill a glass of red wine or drop a dollop of blueberry jam on any other natural stone surface and you will definitely have an issue. Materials like granite and other natural stone are highly porous, which means they absorb things like wine, juices, oil and many other items that can leave a lasting impression. Due to the porous nature of other types of natural countertop materials liquids and other substances seep beneath the surface and removing the stain left behind is nearly impossible. Easily wipe away spills from your non-porous natural quartz countertops.

Quartz is Low Maintenance

Due to quartz’ non-porous nature quartz countertops don’t require sealing. This time-consuming task is an absolute necessity with other natural counter materials. If you fail to seal your granite or other natural stone countertops regularly you’ll experience stains, erosion, etching and other permanent damage to your costly countertops.

In addition to not requiring regular maintenance, your natural quartz countertops can be cleaned using regular household products. Most natural countertops must be cleaned with specialty products designed to gently remove stains and debris without disturbing the sealant or disturbing the particles within the stone. Quartz can be cleaned with soap and water or your basic household cleaning spray. Easy and cost-effective.

Quartz is Classically Stylish

Unlike other natural stone countertop materials quartz comes in a variety of colors to suit your style. Natural quartz countertops are also available in styles that mimic the look of granite, marble or today’s trendy concrete counters. 

Your quartz counters are customizable so if you have unique angles, curves or desire a waterfall edge to your countertops you can do it with quartz. You can also customize your finish with quartz. Choose from polished, matte and leather-look finishes for your natural quartz countertops. With customizable quartz you never need to compromise the aesthetic of your home.

Quartz Has No Imperfections

Marble and granite countertops, along with less common soapstone and slate, are naturally prone to many imperfections. Pitting and cracking, fissures and streaks of off colors appear naturally in all natural stone. Small, unnoticeable imperfections can grow or become more obvious to the naked eye over time.

Quartz countertops are precision made. This means your natural stone material has been perfected and inspected using quality control measures that limit and eliminate imperfections. Your perfect quartz counters will look just as stunning today as they will for years to come. 

Quartz is Durable and Long-Lasting

Today’s families are busy and very often the kitchen serves as control central for the home. Kids do their homework at the dining counter, snacks are gobble up over the island, the chopping and measuring for meal-prep goes on in the midst of the fray. Your countertops need to be durable, strong and long-lasting.

Natural quartz countertops stand up to heat, spills, chopping, and even the toughest math homework you have. Your counters will retain their beautiful appearance no matter what life throws at them. And they will stay that way for years to come.
