“The reason we chose quartz coiuntertops over granite was because we didn’t want to worry about resealing it and didn’t want to worry about it staining easily. The biggest factor, though, was that we wanted a more even distribution of pattern for our kitchen.” “We went with quartz because I really like more of a uniform look in my counters. Our store recommend going with quartz because I am kind of a clean freak and am constantly wiping down the counters and cabinets. I also wanted it very durable because I really use my kitchen a lot. They said it was antimicrobial, didn’t need a sealer and was easy to maintain.” “We have had quartz kitchen counters since fall 2013. They have been a breeze in maintenance since install. I wash them off as needed with mild dish soap and water. Everything just wipes up perfectly. I have rolled out dough for bread on them and they performed great. I use trivets and never put anything very hot on them… a habit I have had for years of living with Formica.” “I am in love with the look of Carrera marble countertops, but I cannot convince my husband to give them a chance. So I set out on a search for a substitute, and we decided quartz is the best option for our needs.”
