Since quartz is a non-porous manufactured material, unlike its natural stone counterpart, you are off the hook for regular maintenance, which means more time for you! Granite countertops and marble countertops need regular resealing. Because quartz is a manufactured material, resealing is not required, making the functionality of quartz countertops even more appealing to busy households. Some people would prefer to refrain from performing regular maintenance on their countertops. In addition to creating more time for you, the second best part of low-maintenance countertops is that they still look fantastic!

Almost all of the material that is a counterpart of quartz has limited quantities available. Marble and granite are only found in specific places on Earth, so it takes resources to make them available in the United States. On the other hand, it is easy to find quartz products made in the USA. Natural resources are used in extracting, warehousing, and shipping natural stone products. Resources and jobs can be preserved when selecting quartz countertops.
There are even manufacturers who specialize in recycled quartz countertops. In addition to having recycled options available, quartz is the second-most abundant mineral found on earth. This means that quartz will be around for a very long time. There is no need to be concerned with using finite resources when selecting quartz for your new countertops. Choosing quartz countertops can be as eco-friendly and sustainable as you would like. Consulting with a company specializing in countertops, such as C&D Granite, will help you decide the importance of these issues.
Quartz is a synthetic material, meaning it is manufactured rather than taken straight from the Earth. Since this is the case, it is nearly imperfection-free. Quartz has few cracking, chipping, or peeling issues, unlike its natural stone rivals. Some homeowners prefer the imperfections that marble or granite bring to their home; others like their new countertops more on the flaw-free side.
Another benefit of quartz being a manufactured material is that it is easy for fabricators and installers to work with. Yes, this means fewer issues with cracking, chipping, and peeling, as mentioned above, but it also means fewer potential headaches in the process. Your new quartz countertops are less likely to have seams as granite or marble countertops might need due to the nature of the material. Very few things can and do go wrong with quartz countertops.
You can perfectly match your kitchen, bathroom, or whatever room you want to install quartz. You will have abundant options in colors, patterns, and styles with quartz countertops. You will also have options in edging and bevel selections. Choosing which type of edge you want will help bring out your taste in your room. In addition to choosing bevel and edging, you can select whether or not you want any vertically hanging quartz without worrying about seams showing or weight becoming a problem.

Durability &#; Unlike natural stones such as granite, marble, or quartzite which are mined from quarries around the world, quartz is engineered and created in factories, using some of the hardest minerals on earth. This process, along with its other additives such as polyester resins gives quartz the top spot for durability. Quartz is scratch resistant and will not stain - attractive qualities for people with children, or for those who really use their kitchens for cooking, cutting, etc.
Uniformity &#; Natural stone is known for its &#;movement&#; or its non-uniform appearance, whereas quartz is engineered and therefore consistent in its design. This not only saves time in the design process by allowing fabricators to cut the stone without a predetermined layout (as they do with granite or marble, to make sure the customer likes where the deviations in the stone are placed within the space), but it also makes matching paint, tile, and cabinet colors and styles easier for the customer.
Low Maintenance &#; Due to its stain resistant, non-porous nature, quartz never has to be resealed like its sister stones granite, marble, etc. and owners do not need to be particular about cleaning the stone. More delicate material cannot be exposed to cleaning products or harsh chemicals, while quartz can take a wipe down from bleach products to ammonia cleaners and remain unharmed.
Evolution &#; In previous years, quartz was criticized for its lackluster patterns and designs, which paled in comparison to the opulence of granite and marble. Now however, there are quality brands of quartz that resemble granite and marble so accurately that most customers can&#;t tell the difference. Manufactures are able to not only polish (as this was the only option before), but they can now produce a honed, embossed, or sand blasted finish. The latest strides made in the quartz industry make it a top contender for the newest kitchen and bathroom projects.
Cost &#; Despite the fact that it&#;s manufactured, the price tag per square foot on this increasingly popular material mirrors that of mid-level granite. Most people looking to renovate, or begin a new project with natural stone already have an idea of the cost, so they&#;re prepared to spend the kind of money that will buy a custom stone kitchen or bathroom. Homeowners can expect a cost of approximately $65-$85 a square foot.
