Quartz is the hardest mineral surface you can have for a worktop. It is stronger and more robust than both granite and marble. The fact that diamonds are one of the few minerals that can scratch the surface should give you an idea of its strength. Quartz worktops are harder than naturally occurring quartz as they are manufactured in chips with very small amounts of other minerals and resin. This process ensures control over consistency and colour.
Outlined below are some of the many reasons to choose a quartz worktop:
* A better alternative to granite - quartz worktops are more robust and resistant to heat or chip damage as they have a non-porous surface. They are not necessarily more expensive than granite.
* Non porous surface - the non-porous surface of quartz means it requires no polishing or sealing. It will naturally offer protection from liquid and acidic liquid damage, as well as being very sanitary.
* Low maintenance - with no need for sealing, only basic cleaning is required, with warm water and mild detergent to remove any dirt or bacteria.
* High heat resistance - this makes quartz worktops ideal for use in kitchens. You can place hot pans on the surface, but to maintain its quality of appearance you should not do this too often and instead place a mat underneath the pan.
* Versatility - the non-porous quality of quartz worktops makes it ideal for use in bathrooms as well as kitchens as it is impenetrable to bacteria and mildew. There are a whole variety of applications, including wall-panelling and stairs - anywhere you have an interior surface. They are easy to join and can have custom edges. You can have quartz tiles too.
* Resistant to impact damage - because quartz is tougher than any other mineral surface it is perfect for a kitchen worktop where you can beat steaks, chop and knead without worry. A quartz worktop has high resistance to cracking, shocks and scratches.
All these important features are not obvious on the outside. It is important to get a guarantee of the quality and durability through warranty as your quartz worktop should be almost indestructible.
Quartz has a stunning subtle sparkle and comes in a variety of colours, grains and finishes. It is important to find a supplier that sells a decent range and can give you expert advice to find the right quartz worktop to suit your home.
