You can choose from solid neutrals, bold swirls, or even sparkling flecks.

Low-Maintenance Benefits

Homeowners and designers love modern quartz for its easy maintenance! This non-porous surface doesn't support bacteria and microorganisms, so you can feel confident preparing food on a hygienic countertop. Plus, it doesn't need sealing, waxing, or re-polishing like granite does.
 
Quartz is also incredibly durable and resilient, making it perfect for busy families! It's stain-resistant, so it can handle all those spills and splashes in the kitchen and bathroom. It's heat and scorch-resistant resistant too! Just remember that quick temperature changes can cause thermal expansion and might crack the quartz.

Caring for Quartz

Quartz is one of the strongest countertops available, comparable to granite countertops. However, it's not indestructible. To keep your quartz looking fresh, use a non-abrasive sponge or cloth for spills. If soap and hot water don’t work on tough spots, try a gentle, non-abrasive cleaner.
 
Remember to use cutting boards on quartz! Using a knife directly can damage it over time. Also, pad sharp items like metal or stone trivets to protect the surface. Avoid placing high-heat devices like crockpots or hot pans directly on the countertop.
