If you are planning to design your kitchen or remodel it, you should choose products which are budget-savvy, long-lasting and easy to maintain. It is better to have a layout which adapts to the growing needs of the family. Moreover, you would definitely want it to be stylish and yet sturdy. Bigger or brand new countertops are one such feature which elevates the style quotient and increases the functionality of your kitchens. Quartz countertops meet all these requirements and are so extremely popular among homeowners. Available in different patterns and colors, they are extremely durable and add to the elegance of the space. Experienced contractors at Caledon Tile, Bath & Kitchen Centre can help you in choosing quality quartz countertop.
Perks of Using Quartz Countertops
A customized countertop sets the tone and feel of your kitchen. You can choose from almost endless options of sizes and finishes of quartz to suit your kitchen cabinets and flooring. Here are the other top five benefits of using quartz countertops: 1. Easy Installation The contractors will take details like brand, color and dimensions beforehand and prepare the slabs for your kitchen. While installing, the fabricator will lay the slab directly on top of cabinets. No plywood underlayment is required. Silicone-based construction adhesive holds it in place and seams are filled with color-matching epoxy resin. The installation process will take only a few hours or a day. 2. Sustainable Quartz is inherently eco-friendly. It is an engineered stone product, shaped into slabs, that contains 93 per cent crushed natural quartz, blended with color pigments and plastic resins. If you compare it to other countertops, it features a longer replacement life and is even recyclable. It doesn't contain toxic materials. On the other hand, materials like granite or marble are neither renewable nor made from recycled products. Extensive resources are also utilized while mining, cutting and transporting them. 3. Easy to Maintain The product doesn’t require sealing. It is impervious to heat and acid, naturally strong and durable, and resistant to chips or burns or cracks. You can easily clean spills and messes with just soap and warm water. Gentle cleansing scrubs are enough to remove the surface stains. Avoid scouring pads and harsh chemicals which can dull the surface by breaking down the bonds between quartz and resins. 4. Antimicrobial Created as a more adaptable and better-performing alternative to granite and marble, it is non-porous. As it does not absorb liquids, it is more hygienic. You will never find bacteria, mold and mildew developing in the surface. The quartz countertop also offers resistance to stains and scratches. 5. Design-Friendly It doesn’t lack the patterns and color variations of natural stone. Multihued slabs are available with enough flecks, swirls and random patterning. You can even get one with honed, sandblasted or embossed treatment. So, you can choose from matte limestone, textured slate, natural marble or glossy granite looks. Get it customized to match the kitchen cabinets and flooring. Moreover, granite varies from slab to slab while quartz offers consistent color and pattern. The seams are almost imperceptible giving it a convincing natural appearance.
