What Are the Advantages of Quartz Countertops?
When it comes to quartz stone countertops, the advantages typically outweigh the disadvantages. However, it is important to understand both before you buy. Let’s start with the benefits.

Quartz countertops offer a modern, luxurious, and uniform appeal.

Quartz counters are available in different colors and aren’t limited to what is found in nature.
Durable and Hygienic
Quartz counters are known to be durable and more resistant to chips, scratches, and cracks than other surfaces. Also, quartz is resistant to water damage, bacteria, stains, and mold, making it the best option to install in kitchens, bathrooms, and professional environments.
Easy Care and Maintenance
With natural stone countertops such as marble and granite, you will have to use special cleaners and apply a sealant on a regular basis. Quartz countertops will never need sealing and can be easily cleaned using a non-abrasive cleaner.
Good in Kitchens
Quartz kitchen countertops are made up of quartz chips or dust that are bound with resin. These are engineered platforms that make for sturdy countertops that are non-porous. The appearance of the quartz in a kitchen will depend on 2 things, which are how the quartz chips were ground and what their size is.
Disadvantages of Quartz Countertop
Quartz does have a downside, as it can be more expensive than other countertops, however, they are still less expensive than natural stone and other luxury choices on the market today. Quartz countertops will also need to be installed by professionals, and will sometimes discolor when exposed to high temperatures and extensive heat for too long a period.
