A kitchen remodel is one of the home renovations that tends to give homeowners the most return on their investment. One popular upgrade is to get new countertops for the kitchen. Taking the following factors into consideration will help you decide whether quartz countertops would be the right choice for your kitchen.
Appearance
Of course, one of the most important factors in choosing countertops in Tucson AZ is their appearance. Because quartz countertops are made from ground-up quartz and other materials, they can be produced in a wider range of colors and patterns that those that occur naturally in stone. Thus, you’ll be more likely to be able to match your decor with quartz countertops than with marble or granite.
Durability
You want your new countertops to last for a long time as this upgrade involves a considerable investment. If you choose quartz countertops in Tucson AZ, you can rest assured that they will last for many years. These countertops are harder than marble or granite, so they won’t scratch as easily. They may become chipped or damaged if a very heavy or hard object is dropped on them, however, so you still need to take some care.
Stain Resistance
You’ll be happy to know that quartz is very resistant to stains, making it so that you don’t have to rush to wipe up spills immediately, although it’s still a good idea to do this. Certain products may react badly with the quartz, however, so don’t use oil soaps, bleach, permanent markers, nail polish or remover, or paint or paint remover on these countertops.
Maintenance
Unlike countertops made with many other types of natural stone, quartz countertops don’t need to be regularly sealed because they aren’t porous. You do need to take care not to place very hot objects directly on the countertops, however, as this could damage the countertop.
Size Issues
This countertop material comes in a standard size slab, so if you have a very larger or oddly shaped countertop, you may need to have a seam. This type of seam may be more visible than seams in granite or marble countertops.
