With so many options for your kitchen countertops, finding the right stone can be difficult. Quartz Countertops NJ has a variety of engineered stone countertops that offer a number of advantages over natural stone. We offer marble, stone, monochromatic, and concrete looks to provide design options for any aesthetic.
Quartz is one of the hardest minerals on earth which is why engineered stone is harder than most natural stones, such as granite. Engineered stone countertops are made from ground natural quartz bound together with polymer resins and compressed into slabs. These surfaces are nearly indestructible, being highly resistant to tough stains, and corrosion, and are able to withstand heavy traffic within your home. While they are scratch-resistant, they are not scratch-proof. Like all natural stone countertops, quartz can be damaged by sudden changes in temperature so be sure to still use potholders or hot pads when placing hot pots and pans on your countertop.
Engineered stone countertops are also nonabsorbent and non-porous surfaces, unlike most natural stone, allowing for easy-to-clean countertops that don’t allow bacteria or harmful organisms to burrow into the cracks. This ensures the safety of food consumed within your home. All you need to keep your quartz countertop clean is a cloth and warm water and it will remain polished and shiny.
Engineered stone also has the benefit of never having to be sealed, preventing the need for regular maintenance. Though easy to clean, certain chemicals in cleaning supplies can break down the resins of the quartz countertops so make sure the product is approved. Engineered stone countertops have the potential to outlast the life of your home because they don’t break down over time. These countertops require low maintenance and add character to every room.
With engineered stone countertops, the pros outweigh the cons and provide homeowners with versatility and options. At Quartz Countertops NJ, you will find several quartz looks similar in color and texture to that of marble, granite, concrete, and more natural stones. Find the beautiful design, color, and pattern to create your one-of-a-kind kitchen or dream countertops for any room in your house. If you are looking for a natural stone look with more durability, engineered stone is the choice for you.
