Quartz Countertops

Quartz countertops are relatively new, and offer a good alternative to granite for kitchen.

Quartz has become fairly popular. There are more color choices available than there are with granite. Quartz is a hard mineral which naturally forms in clusters - not slabs.

So they grind it up, mix it with resin and binders, and add coloring. Kitchen countertops usually end up being about 90% quartz and 10% the other stuff.

One advantage is that they can make it in 10 ft lengths - usually results in fewer seams than granite. You do not need to seal these countertops as you do with other materials. Although they're heat resistant, they're not heat proof, so don't put hot pots directly onto the counter.

Several different edge shapes are available, and this product is easy to clean and maintain. If your choice is between quartz and granite, I think it will come down to which look you prefer.

Granite has graining and looks more natural in my opinion. Quartz has more uniformity. During your shopping phase, you should probably look at both.
