Countertop FAQ

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

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

Marble, quartz and granite are premium-quality materials that add value and beauty to your home. They are always popular choices and attractive, standing up to endure 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 resin and polymers to produce a surface that is long-lasting and serviceable while enduring many years of use.

Specific maintenance requirements for countertops 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.

Never 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 trivets or hot pads or trivets when placing hot pots and pans on the surface top.

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

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

The Advantages of Quartz

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

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

The other benefit of using quartz is that it is relatively low-maintenance. Quartz does not require additional sealing as 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 will be just a little more expensive than other materials. However, it is durable and long-lasting, making it a very worthwhile investment.

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