Countertop FAQ

The material you choose for your kitchen countertop may depend on your personal style, budget, and the amount of use and wear the countertop will receive.

Factors to consider when selecting a material include maintenance requirements, durability, and the overall aesthetic you are desiring to achieve in your kitchen.

Quartz, granite and marble are premium-quality materials that add value and beauty to your home. They are always popular choices as they are attractive and they stand up to daily wear and tear.

Quartz stands the test of time when talking longevity. It is very durable and artificially engineered to resemble natural stone. Crushed quartz stone is mixed with polymers and resin to produce a surface that is long-lasting, serviceable and designed to endure many years of use.

Specific maintenance requirements for your kitchen countertop will depend on the material it is made of. In general, you should keep your countertop clean by wiping it down with a damp cloth and a mild cleaning solution.

Don’t use coarse sponges or cleaning products as these can damage the surface of the countertop. It is always a good idea to protect your countertop from heat by using hot pads or trivets when placing hot pots and pans on the surface top.

It is never a good idea to cut directly on your countertop as this can scratch & cause damage to the surface. Rather, use a cutting board to protect your countertop from knife marks and other cutting tools.

Maintaining and caring for your countertops are something to think about when planning. For example, granite requires regular sealing to prevent staining, where quartz tops are more low maintenance materials.

Also see this great article in Architectural Digest on all cleaning tips.

In addition to the material and style, it is also important to consider your budget for your countertops. They can vary considerably in cost, depending on the material used and the size of your kitchen.

Available in both a honed and polished finish. Marble countertops are generally a homeowner’s preferred choice when trying to achieve a higher end look.

Marble countertops differ in they can be a tedious surface in terms of stains, scratches and susceptibility to heat. For maintenance of these tops, we really recommended yearly sealing the surfaces and maintaining daily care by simply cleaning with soap and water.

The Advantages of Quartz

Kasa quartz countertops Abbotsford logo

Quartz derived from reliable, stable natural minerals and is available in a wide range of patterns & colours

One of the main benefits of quartz is that it is a man-made material. This results in a more uniform and consistent colour and pattern than natural stone. It is also non-porous, making it much more resilient to bacteria and stains. Quartz is a hygienic surface that is an easy-to-maintain material for kitchen countertops.

The other benefit of using quartz is that it is relatively low-maintenance. It does not require additional sealing like natural stone does, making it easy to maintain and care for. It is also heat-resistant so you can place hot pots and pans directly on the surface without causing any damage.

In terms of cost, quartz can be a little more expensive than other materials. However, it is durable and long-lasting, making it a worthwhile investment.

Overall, quartz is a good material for kitchen countertops; it is very durable, easy to maintain and clean and is available in a wide range of colours and patterns.
