Benefits of Quartz Countertops

28 June 2005

Thinking about choosing quartz countertops for your kitchen? Here are a few of the benefits of quartz according to the May/June 2005 issue of Smart HomeOwner:

Quartz countertops are stain-resistant, scratch-resistant, heat/scorch-resistant, and don’t need to be sealed or polished.

Unlike granite, quartz countertops are available in hundreds of colors, and their color is consistent.

Quartz is stronger than granite and less susceptible to cracking or chipping. It has a diamond-like luster and is easy to clean with soap and water.

Lastly, quartz countertops are nonporous and nonabsorbent, so they are resistant to bacteria.

I’m not sure where you obtained your information unless it was from the person who sold the countertops to you but Quartz is not stronger than granite. Granite also comes in hundreds of beautiful “nature created” colors and is stain resistant for the most part. I say for the most part because if it is sealed you will not have to worry. Doesn’t harbor bacteria as I have heard either unless your a troll and don’t clean!
