It resists stains, scratches, and heat, making it ideal for both kitchen and bathroom applications. Its low maintenance requirements and consistent appearance make it a popular choice for homeowners seeking both beauty and practicality.

quartz pros
Low Maintenance
Quartz require minimal maintenance. They do not need sealing or polishing, and cleaning is simple with just soap and water or a mild detergent.
Non-Porous
Unlike natural stones, quartz is non-porous, meaning it doesn't absorb liquids. This makes it highly resistant to stains and bacteria, ensuring a hygienic surface for kitchens and bathrooms.
Increased Home Value
Installing quartz can significantly enhance the value of your home. Their durability, low maintenance, and aesthetic appeal make them a highly desirable feature for potential buyers.
quartz cons
Indoor Use Only
Quartz is not recommended for outdoor use, as prolonged exposure to direct sunlight can cause colors to fade or the material to warp. It is best suited for indoor applications.
Vulnerable to Excessive Heat
Excessive heat can damage quartz because its resins can melt upon contact with heat. Avoid placing items like hot pots, pans, or curling irons directly on the surface. Instead, use a hot pad or trivet.
Professional Install Needed
Quartz installation is not a DIY project. It requires a skilled professional to take measurements, level the slab, and secure the countertop. Additionally, quartz is heavy (around 20 pounds per square foot), making professional installation essential.

how to maintain your quartz masterpiece
Use Gentle Cleaners
Clean your quartz regularly with a mild detergent or a gentle, non-abrasive cleaner and a soft cloth. Avoid harsh chemicals, bleach, or abrasive scrubbers that can damage the surface.
Protect From Heat
Always use trivets or heat pads under hot pots, pans, and appliances to prevent heat damage. While quartz is heat-resistant, direct exposure to high temperatures can cause discoloration or cracking.
Prevent Stains & Scratches
Wipe up spills immediately to prevent staining, especially from substances like wine, coffee, and oils. Use cutting boards when chopping or slicing to avoid scratching the surface.
