Beautiful Quartz Kitchen Countertops
Beautiful quartz kitchen countertops!
Even though 'granite' is the current buzz word around kitchen countertops, quartz or engineered stone is becoming increasingly popular due to its many advantages - not least of which is being cheaper than granite.
Engineered stone is composed of 93% quartz particles. It is available in a larger range of colors than granite and has a nonporous surface that is scratch resistant.
Quartz is easy to maintain, and you don't have to seal it annually as you do with natural stone. Some brands on the market include DuPont Zodiaq®, LG Viatera®, Cambria Quartz, and Silestone®.
When choosing your quartz kitchen countertop you will also need to consider the finishes available as these range from the highly polished option to a textured stone effect.
A frequent problem with natural stone is that the countertops can vary in shade and pattern so much. This is not a problem with quartz, so if you order your countertop from a sample you can expect a uniformity and match so that you avoid any nasty surprises upon delivery.
If you are at creating an expensive looking kitchen then you will want a material which will stay looking beautiful and unblemished for many years to come. Quartz will maintain its lustre and sheen as well as being extremely hardwearing - great for a busy family kitchen life.
The cost of quartz is calculated by linear foot and you can expect to pay around USD$110 to $250 per linear foot.
