If you’ve got your eye out for chic kitchen countertops that will upgrade your home in a trendy way, look no further than quartz countertops. Quartz is known for the way it catches the eye and adds a splash of beauty to the room—not to mention that it has countless design options to choose from. So no matter the style of your kitchen, there’s bound to be a quartz slab that complements it perfectly.
Why Install Quartz?
There are tons of reasons why you should install quartz countertops, but we would be here all day if we listed every one. So for the sake of this article, we’ve compiled five of the most important reasons why you should add quartz countertops to your home.
They’re trendy
The great thing about quartz countertops is that they’re always being updated for new trends. Quartz offers all types of different styles that mesh with kitchens of all sorts. From farmhouse to traditional, modern to rustic, and anything in between, you’re bound to find quartz material that matches your unique style.
People love the uniformity of quartz’s patterns too. Unlike natural stones, which are known for their inconsistent and unpredictable looks, quartz is consistent because it’s man-made.
All of these qualities put together make for a very trendy stone.
They’re low maintenance
Obviously, the aesthetics and design elements of quartz are important, but functionality should always be considered. Quartz is one of the most low-maintenance materials you can find because it never needs to be sealed—it’s a nonporous material thanks to the resins included in its composition.
It’s also very difficult to scratch quartz, and the slabs rarely chip. They are also unlikely to stain, due to their nonporous nature. Additionally, all you need to clean them with is soap and water.
All of these characteristics put together create a material that is perfect for the kitchen, especially if you don’t like to spend a lot of time keeping up your countertop. Quartz doesn’t ask for much of your time.
The manufacturing process is eco-friendly
Quartz is a common element that can be found throughout the United States—and the best part is that manufacturers use quartz that has already been mined, essentially recycling the scrap pieces that have come from other mining projects. So no quartz is mined simply for the intent of making quartz countertops.
When quartz is made by introducing crushed quartz, resins, and polymers, there is little to no impact on the quality of indoor air. This, combined with the fact that there is no additional mining done for quartz countertops, means that quartz has less of an impact on the environment than other stone materials.
There are countless design options
Everyone loves having a wide variety to choose from when it comes to countertop aesthetics. As we mentioned before, the quartz colorations and patterns to choose from are almost endless—so even if you have the most specific vision regarding your countertop, it’s likely that there’s a quartz slab that exists that matches what you have in mind.
Quartz offers the clean aesthetic of pure colors and patterns that are uniform and predictable. These types of aesthetics make for a crisp, clean look in your kitchen.
