Prefabricated Quartz Countertops For The Bathroom

As you’re remodeling your bathroom, you’ll see plenty of choices for stone countertops. One of the most popular choices in interior design today is the prefabricated quartz countertop.

If you’re unsure what this design is or want to learn more about it, you’re in the right place. We’ll walk you through the must-knows about this countertop material, including why it’s the go-to for many interior designers and which styles are trending today.

What Are Prefabricated Countertops?

The term “prefab” is commonplace in the home renovation industry. It refers to anything put together before sold rather than custom-made to the buyer’s dimensions.

Similar to the way a car is designed and built at the factory, then sent to a dealership for purchase, prefab countertops are made at a manufacturer’s site. Next, they’re cut into standard sizes that fit most bathroom countertop designs. Once cut, they’re delivered to distributors and sold to buyers.

Just as a car can be customized after purchase, so can prefabricated quartz countertops. So, with these prefab counters, you get quartz that looks like marble and has similar benefits.

Why Choose Prefab Countertops?

You’ve already chosen your color scheme and want countertops that complement that tough but finished decision. So how can you choose between many different options, finding a durable countertop material that is within your budget and still stylish?

It sounds like an impossible list, but that’s where prefab countertops step in to save the day.

When you have a standard bathroom counter to cover, it doesn’t matter if the countertop was pre-made. It can be much easier to install these countertops because they’re already the right size and shape.

On top of that benefit, prefabricated countertops in the bathroom have other advantages that make them bestsellers.

They Save You Money

Prefabricated countertops are typically more affordable than custom-cut ones. This is because these countertops are pre-cut in large quantities and then distributed to vendors, which allows for a bulk discount that is reflected in the lower price for the customer.

The sizes are limited, but so are the typical bathroom countertop designs. As long as your remodel uses standard products, you should be able to find a variety of prefabricated quartz countertops in your budget.

Easier Installation

Are you a DIY-er with some basic skills, or looking to save money on having your countertops installed? Either way, prefab countertops are the way to go.

Prefabs offer a significant advantage in that they are designed to fit perfectly on a 26" countertop depth, and already come with a fabricated edge, making the fabrication process much quicker for the fabricator. This makes them an ideal option for smaller spaces such as vanities, or for straightforward and simple 26" deep kitchen countertop designs.

Faster Delivery

Having anything made-to-order could mean significant wait times. Prefab countertops are made in bulk and delivered to the distributor in large quantities. So head to the retailer, shop for your color palette and material, and walk out with your countertops ready to install.

Why Are So Many People Choosing Prefabricated Quartz Countertops?

The advantages of prefab make it easy to know which direction to go. However, there are a lot of prefab countertop materials available. During your searches, you’ve come across “prefabricated quartz countertops.” What are they, and why are they so popular in the interior design industry?

The buzz on all things quartz has been trending for a while now. From jewelry to home remodeling, quartz has replaced pricier materials like granite and marble. Manufacturers and distributors prefer quartz because their buyers get more options at an affordable price. And homeowners and interior designers love it for its other advantages, too.

More Variety

An excellent plus of prefab countertops is that they are often made from engineered quartz. As a result, these styles offer more variety than your traditional natural granite and marble designs, giving you more colors and patterns to choose from (and ending the quartz vs. granite debate for many).

The hardest part is deciding which countertop look to pick for your bathroom remodel. White quartz countertops, like MSI’s Statuary Classique, blend well with nearly any modern kitchen or bathroom and leave a polished finish.

Try a company with a countertop visualizer before you make your final choice. It’s a handy tech tool that lets you see your current counters with the style you’re thinking about buying.

Simple Upkeep

When you use marble or granite in your home, you have to maintain its seal to keep it from any harm. If the seal cracks, spills can get underneath into the pores and cause damage. Therefore, you can only use certain products to clean the material, and you must be very cautious about setting anything hot or sticky on the counter.

But with quartz countertops, you don’t have all those restrictions and concerns. For example, quartz is non-porous, so if you spill something, it won’t stain. In addition, it doesn’t retain water or collect bacteria and viruses, making it healthier for your family.

Cleanup is a breeze, too. Use your favorite cleaning product or a wet cloth, and the mess comes right up!
