Durability
Quartz is a strong, hard and durable material, even more so than granite. It is practically scratch proof and a perfect material for kitchen countertops.
Heat Resistance
Quartz countertops offer some heat resistance, but because they contain resin, which is sensitive to heat, setting hot pots directly unto the quartz surface is not recommended.
Water resistance
Quartz countertops are non-porous and therefore resistant stains from food, including wine and coffee. Because they are non-porous, quartz countertops are also more sanitary – mildew and other organic matter cannot grow on quartz.
Care and Maintenance
Quartz countertops are the easiest to clean and maintain. They do not require regular sealing and can be cleaned with a cloth and appropriate soap solution.
