Granite, Marble, Quartzite & Quartz Countertops in Durham NC
Picking out the right countertop is a big decision—it’s arguably the biggest choice that you’ll make throughout the entire remodeling process. There’s a wide variety of options to choose from—which can be overwhelming in itself, especially when each choice is alluring in its own way.
When people think about beauty and style, many of their minds go right to natural stone. But while natural stone is a highly coveted countertop material, it’s not always the best choice.
But there’s good news—if you’re someone who is enticed by natural stone but could go without the price and hassle of upkeep, we’ve got a solution. And that solution comes in the form of quartz countertops.
Quartz countertops are known for being modern and updated. They’re also versatile, durable, bold, and timeless. In fact, there’s not much ground that these countertops don’t cover.
If you’re interested in incorporating quartz countertops into your bathroom or kitchen remodel, this article is for you. We’ve put together a few key reasons why people choose quartz and what makes it such a great material.
A lot of people dive into natural stone countertops without realizing that they require periodic resealing—some as often as annually. It’s not exactly a strenuous process, but it’s one more thing to add to your to-do list that wouldn’t be there if you had quartz countertops.
Quartz countertops are much more low maintenance because they get sealed once during the fabrication process and never need to go through it again. From then on, they’ll be protected and inherently nonporous. Being that it’s nonporous, you won’t have to worry about germs or bacteria on your countertop—or liquid seeping in and causing damage. Quartz has got that taken care of.
Along with being low maintenance across the rest of the board, quartz is also very easy to clean. All you need is soap and water, and stains should come up easily. Just remember to steer clear of bleach, and you’re good to go.
Quartz is definitely not a stone that you have to worry about becoming damaged if you look at it wrong. It’s meant to withstand the wear and tear of everyday life, so if you have busy kids, it’s a great option for you.
Quartz is resistant to heat, scratches, etching, and chips. But remember, while this stone is not fragile, we still recommend treating it with respect to get the most life out of it as possible. To do that, use potholders and things of the like instead of setting hot pots and pans directly onto the countertop.
While quartz is affordable, it is by no means cheap. You get what you pay for, and quartz is an investment that will give back to you what you put in.
Although the price at checkout might not be extremely low, remember that you won’t have to factor in the yearly maintenance that natural stone calls for. That’s an automatic lower price if you’re looking to downsize your budget.
Quartz is a worthy investment because it adds resale value to your home. These types of countertops are very popular because of all their positive qualities, and buyers want to see them in homes that they purchase.
Some people enjoy the unpredictability of natural stone, but others don’t. If you’re the type of person who would rather have something that errs on the side of consistency rather than uniqueness, then quartz is a great choice. Since it’s an engineered stone, it automatically has a more consistent, uniform look.
Quartz has the innate ability to make any room come together, no matter the style. Since it’s an engineered stone, it can be found in a variety of different colors and styles, and you’re sure to find one that suits the vision for your home remodel.
And since it can imitate the look of natural stones so flawlessly, you’ll be the only one who knows the difference.
It’s unlikely that quartz will ever go out of style because it’s been trendy for quite a while now. The reason behind this popularity stands with the quality of quartz; people understand what a durable, visually appealing, and worthy material it is. If you buy quartz today, it’s not one of those materials that will be obsolete in ten years. It’s a trend that won’t fade anytime soon.
