One common renovation homeowners love is replacing the original countertops in their homes with newer models. Today, there are many more options available to homeowners beyond just traditional wood or fiberglass. In fact, a growing trend is to install quartz counters. Below are some of the many advantages of this material.

4 Benefits of Adding Quartz Countertops to Your Kitchen

1. Resilient

Using quartz for your counters is often ideal for families with children due to the resiliency of the material. By combining natural ground quartz with polymer resins, manufacturers can create a countertop that’s especially durable. It’s almost impossible to damage finished quartz, but if you do, you’ll be protected by the manufacturer’s warranty.

2. Moisture-Resistant 

A quartz countertop is designed to be non-porous, unlike granite and other stones. This means that it won’t absorb moisture or spills like other types of counters. It will also last for years to come and retain its original beauty for longer.

3. Design Possibilities 

Quarts can also be used as a splash guard for your stove and sink or as wall tiling. Although it’s heavier than traditional wall tiling, the epoxy used to hold it in place is a strong adhesive.

4. Low Maintenance 

Quartz doesn’t require the special care that is necessary with other types of kitchen countertops. Unlike other stones, quartz doesn’t require sealing. You can clean it by wiping it down with a stone-safe cleaning product and drying it with a clean towel.
