Quartz countertops have quickly become one of the preferred products for homeowners looking to add value to their kitchen. They have a number of advantages other materials can’t match. However, because of a few misconceptions, many people aren’t taking advantage of them. Here are some common myths about quartz countertops debunked.

3 Myths About Quartz Countertops, Debunked

1. It’s Not Heat Resistant

Any natural surface will be damaged by prolonged heat exposure. However, not all are damaged as easily. Quartz is highly resistant to heat, but you still need to use hot pads and avoid placing scalding pots and pans directly on the surface. This will prevent damaging the resin coating and also help the quartz countertops maintain their color.

2. The Selection Is Limited

Like other natural stones, each piece of quartz is unique. When it comes to countertops, you’ll have truly individual designs. Quartz is also highly versatile and can be easily colored and shaped to look similar to more exotic and expensive natural stones.

3. It’s Expensive

For quartz countertops, you’re getting a bargain compared with other natural stone surfaces. Quartz is priced as a mid-range product, and it’s a worthwhile long-term investment. Its versatility and durability ensure that you’ll get the most from it, and it has excellent resale value because of its popularity, especially if you’re remodeling a home to sell or looking to boost value.
