If you’re remodeling your kitchen, updating your countertops is one of the easiest ways to give the room a face-lift and make it more functional. Among the many material options, quartz offers some unique benefits that you don’t want to overlook.

3 Reasons to Pick Quartz Countertops

1. Low-Maintenance

Some porous natural stone materials require periodic resealing to keep bacteria out. Quartz is non-porous, so you’ll never have to worry about sealing or resealing. Spilled oil, wine, or cleaning chemicals also won’t stain or discolor the countertop. The surface is easy to clean with a towel and warm water.

2. Affordable

If you’re trying to complete a kitchen remodel on a tight budget, natural materials like granite and marble may be out of the question. However, quartz can give you the same high-class appearance without as much upfront investment. It’s also built to last; you can expect the countertop to be in good shape for two decades or more.

3. Versatile

Natural stone countertops are all different because they’re taken directly from natural sources. On the other hand, quartz counters are made by binding quartz with a resin, and during this process, a tint can be added to achieve the color you want. Choosing quartz gives you more control over your kitchen’s design scheme, and it will be a breeze coordinating it with the color of your walls or cabinets.
