If you are choosing a new countertop, you might have quartz on your mind. After all, natural stone countertops are increasingly popular. If you are thinking about quartz, you might wonder what makes it a better option than some of the others, including marble or granite.
If you are thinking about using quartz, you have a lot to consider, including your budget and the style of the room you plan to work on. You might still have a lot of questions about countertop options. These are some things you should consider.
What Are the Benefits of Quartz?
Quartz is quite hard compared to other options. This means you don't have to worry so much about different types of damage, including chips and scratches. Additionally, quartz comes in a variety of colors. If you want a white, violet, rose, yellow, or brown countertop, quartz is a fabulous choice. You can use the color of the quartz to match the rest of your kitchen.
Quartz is also quite easy to clean. If you spill something, you can count on quartz to be nonporous. You can clean the counter easily and not worry so much about stains.
Why Should You Consider Other Options?
Quartz is a bit more difficult to find than other options, including marble. This means that it may be more expensive in your area, especially if you consider transportation, labor, and necessary supplies. You may find that quartz simply doesn't come in your preferred color. You may have to choose something like marble because it matches the rest of your kitchen. Even wood countertops may be able to replace quartz if the aesthetic simply doesn't meet your needs.
Keep in mind that you will not be able to place hot materials on quartz. It does not take heat as well as other countertop options, so this is something you need to plan for in the future if you cook often.

My name is Debbie Greenberg. I’m a single woman who owns her home, and like most homeowners I dread home repairs. I’m not very handy with do-it-yourself projects around the house. I can do a few minor repairs when necessary, but for the most part I have to call in a professional. Last year I had a leak in my roof. When it rained, water would leak into my kitchen. What appeared to be a simple fix turned out to be anything but simple. It took over four months to finally identify the problem, and double the money I was initially quoted to fix it. The problem ended up being that the flat part of my roof didn't have shingles, but a sheeting material. I learned a bit about home roofs along the way, and that is what I want to share with you.
