So you’ve planned your kitchen layout, you know you want those gorgeous cabinets with the ultra-sleek handles – but now you have to choose a countertop and you’re stuck. How do you decide which countertop material will look most beautiful in your new kitchen and will work best with your lifestyle? In our easy 10-part guide, we’ll talk about the top countertop materials from the expert’s perspective, and help you decide which is right for you.
This week, we’re looking at the unique stone, quartz.
Price: $20-$90 a square foot, depending on quality, source and uniqueness
Pros: Once known as ‘engineered stone’, quartz surfacing is 80% natural quartz stone mixed with resin and colorants. It is ultra-hard, durable, non-porous, and stain-resistant, and is available in many colors and patterns.
Cons: While it mimics natural materials, quartz doesn’t have the pattern variation or free-form grains of stone. You’ll need a professional to fix chips.
How To Clean It: Wipe up spills as they happen. Clean with a specialist cleaner designed for stone or quartz.
Want it? Give Stone & Surface Specialists a call today on 801 856 0164 to schedule your FREE quartz consultation and sealing. Our experts can advise on any area of this gorgeous stone you’re unsure about, and make sure it’s ready for action the minute it’s installed.
