All About Quartz Countertops: The Material and Mainenance Guide

Quartz Countertops continue to rise in popularity due to their low maintenance features, variety of patterns, and consistency. Quartz slabs are man-made using ground-up natural quartz mixed with resin and other binding agents to create the slab form. There are endless variations of colors and patterns in quartz slabs making them a very popular choice for countertops. The white and gray color trends have also contributed to the popularity of quartz countertops since natural stones don’t come in pure white. You can find white Marble if you are looking for a natural stone, but marble countertops can be high maintenance which causes some to choose quartz over marble. While quartz countertops are low maintenance, they are not indestructible. Quartz can still chip and crack just as natural stones can, they should be treated with care to maintain their beauty.

Quartz Countertop Maintenance

As with any countertop, regular cleaning is necessary to keep counters clear of bacteria and germs. Quartz is a non-porous stone making regular sealing unnecessary over the years.

Quartz is not resistant to high heat due to the resin product it is created with. Quartz Countertops can and will discolor or change the structure of the surface if exposed to high heat.

How Strong is Quartz?

Quartz ranks between 6 – 7 on the MOHS hardness scale putting it right in line with Granite. It is a durable, low-maintenance countertop option.
