Granite Countertops or Caesarstone Quartz Countertops?
When choosing materials for homebuilding or remodeling, many people automatically choose granite countertops without even giving a second thought to other materials. It is the current “standard” in kitchen design. True, granite is stain and scratch resistant and can last for more than two decades when properly maintained. But the same is true of Quartz countertops. If you’re looking for a budget-friendly alternative to popular but pricey granite countertops, Caesarstone Quartz countertop may be the perfect choice, and it’s one of our featured products at JRP Design & Remodel.
Benefits of Quartz Countertops
Quartz is a natural, non-porous material. Caesarstone quartz countertops are extremely durable, boasting four times the strength of granite and twice the impact resistance. Quartz never needs to be sealed or polished. In fact, quartz countertops are virtually maintenance free—routine cleaning is all that is needed to keep them looking great for years to come. Another benefit of choosing quartz countertops is that the material has a built-in anti-microbial inhibitor to prevent the growth of bacteria, mold and mildew, making your kitchen or bathroom a healthier environment. Best of all, it’s priced more affordably than granite and will add an element of high style to your home without the high cost.
