Counter Approach

Quartz is one of the hardest minerals on earth. And because of its strength and abundance, quartz is a popular choice for countertops. Quartz is sometimes referred to as man made, but it is in fact a natural stone. However, the amount of natural quartz included in a slab depends on the specifications of the quartz manufacturer.

BENEFITS OF QUARTZ COUNTERTOPS

Extremely durable Don’t need to be sealed Nonabsorbent Come in versatile designs, colors and patterns

QUARTZ VS GRANITE

Quartz countertops are stronger than granite countertops. Quartz is an extremely hard mineral while granite easily absorbs liquids and stains. Granite countertops also need to be sealed and polished regularly.

QUARTZ VS MARBLE

Quartz is much more durable than marble. Marble easily scratches and stains. Marble countertops require frequent maintenance. Acidic foods, like lemons may cause etching on marble countertops.

QUARTZ VS CONCRETE

Unlike quartz, concrete isn’t a natural stone. It is a mixture of water, cement and an aggregate of sand or gravel. Concrete countertops are porous, susceptible to stains and require sealing. They are also extremely heavy and difficult to install.

QUARTZ VS SOAPSTONE

Soapstone countertops scratch easily and must be regularly oiled to maintain their appearance. Their appearance may also change or darken over time.
