If you’re considering a bathroom remodel, you’ve probably looked at a lot of different materials for countertops. You may want to consider engineered quartz, as quartz countertops have many benefits that homeowners love. Here are just a few reasons to consider using this ideal material in your bathroom. 

Why Choose Quartz Countertops?

1. Nonporous

While some quartz stone is naturally quarried, the majority of quartz countertops are engineered. This means that while they are made with natural quartz stone, the natural stone is ground up and mixed with polymer resins. This means that the resulting product has the beauty of stone but is entirely nonporous. Most natural stones, like granite, have tiny pockets in which moisture can seep in, encouraging bacteria and other microorganisms to grow. Quartz countertops, on the hand, don’t even need to be sealed.

2. Durable 

That same engineering process makes engineered quartz countertops virtually indestructible. It resists staining or corrosion and is very easy to clean. Of course, it’s not impossible to chip or break a quartz countertop, but it’s unlikely through regular use. On the Moh’s scale, which is used to measure the hardness of minerals, quartz is rated a 7, with diamonds topping the scale at 10. Because of this durability, you’ll often find long warranties offered with quartz countertops as well. 

3. Customizable

With engineered quartz, the possibilities for color and design are limited only to the manufacturer’s imagination. This makes it easy to find a style that’s precisely what you’re looking for. It can be installed with epoxy instead of screws, which makes it a great option for backsplashes, showers, and other places where screws would not be ideal. The resulting look is sleek, modern, and beautiful, without the flaws of natural stone.
