Quartz kitchen countertops are a popular option for people who are building or renovating their homes. Given the numerous material options for countertops, you might wonder who is more likely to choose quartz counters. These four use cases generally reflect when quartz kitchen countertops will work best.
Hardcore Cooks
Quartz counters are ideal for anyone who's a hardcore cook. If you're moving hot pots and pans around the kitchen, you don't want to be sensitive to whether the countertop materials are going to hold up. Some materials are prone to cracking due to heating and cooling, but quartz is one of the toughest options on the market. It also handles pounding well so you don't have to worry about using the countertop to pound out a filet. Similarly, quartz doesn't stain easily so you won't have to race to clean up tomato sauce spills just to protect the countertop.
Families with Children
Many of the same virtues that make quartz great for cooks also make it ideal for families that have children. Especially if you have younger kids, you can't expect them to be constantly mindful of the countertop. Children are going to slam things around, and you don't want to have to worry that the countertop is going to break because a kid decided to pound a mallet on the surface.
Likewise, kids are messy. They are going to spill juice on the counters. Some materials can handle the acidity, dyes, or natural colors of the juice. Quartz will have zero trouble surviving regular use and abuse from kids, though.
People with Unique Design Goals
Quartz is an engineered material that offers a greater range of design options. Most materials come straight from a quarry, and you get what the stone looks like after it comes out of the ground. If you want a different color, then you'll have to try a different product. You can order quartz counters in virtually any color or pattern that you'd like. If you'd like a pink swirl that's rare in nature, quartz is going to be your best bet.
Folks with Large Kitchens
Using natural materials presents major challenges when it comes to matching the seams of the counters. In many cases, the only way to achieve a perfect seam is to not have one. With large kitchens, though, there are limits on how big of a countertop you can even move into the room. Quartz counters allow you to match the seam tightly so you can install slabs across a large kitchen.
