Is Quartz Good for Kitchen Countertops? 10 Pros & Cons

Is Quartz Good for Kitchen Countertops? 10 Pros & Cons

by Alaa Al Jeldeh / Monday, 30 April 2018 / Published in Quartz

Quartz is one of the most commonly used materials for kitchen countertops, but is this a true reflection on whether it is any good? Should Quartz be used within the kitchen for your countertop or should you pass it by completely?

We will cover a few pros and cons to Quartz when being used for kitchen countertops to help you during your decision process. Here are 12 of our top pros and cons to look out for when purchasing.

#1 Low Maintenance

The great thing about Quartz is that it is incredibly low maintenance, especially when it comes to cleaning it every day. All you will need is a mild soap, cloth and some warm water. There is no need to have any special cleaning products to keep your Quartz kitchen countertop looking fresh.

#2 No Sealing

There will be no long term costs during the lifetime of your Quartz kitchen countertop because it simply does not need it. Being a man made stone, it is made with you in mind to be as easy to keep as possible.

#3 Non-Porous

The main reason why Quartz does not need to be sealed at all is because it has been engineered to be a non-porous stone. This means that absolutely no bacteria will harbour beneath the surface and if you accidentally spill something then there is no mad rush to clean it up.

#4 Scratch Resistant

Quartz is second to diamond for its strength and therefore is scratch resistant, in fact it will take a diamond or another Quartz product to scratch your new kitchen countertop.

#5 Not Invincible

However, you have to consider and keep in mind that Quartz is certainly not invincible, and it can be damaged. If you hit it hard enough, it will crack or chip, especially around the edges.

#6 Heat Resistant

Another one of the best things about Quartz being placed in your kitchen for a countertop is that it is heat resistant. If you ever accidentally place down any hot pots and pans onto the surface, then there is no huge panic. Simply just remove the hot item and there should be no mark etched onto the surface.

#7 Budget Friendly

Quartz is one of the most affordable stones you can purchase for your kitchen countertop, so if you have a tight budget then this is definitely one of the best contenders on the market.

#8 Durable

Quartz is perfect for a busy family home because it is so durable. Quartz is able to withstand the high volumes of traffic within the kitchen area.

#9 Range of Colours

Quartz is readily available with many suppliers and it comes with one of the biggest ranges of colours and patterns available. Regardless of your design and style, you should be able to find the most perfect countertop slab for you.

#10 It Is Not Natural

Let’s face it, while it is 94% natural Quartz, Quartz does not replace the elegant beauty of natural stones such as Marble. Depending on your taste and overall style, Quartz may or may not be the best option for you.

#11 Modern

Quartz is a fairly modern stone and therefore some homeowners may not prefer it over Marble or Granite. As it has been entirely man made, often the seams down the middle of your countertops can be made quite visible as well which may ruin the look for you.

#12 Stain Resistant

Lastly, Quartz is known for being very stain resistant and this is because it is a non-porous stone. As no spillages can soak into the surface, it is very difficult to stain with any liquid including red wine and coffee, making it perfect for the kitchen.
