Quartz countertops in Auguston that are eco-friendly and low maintenance

Quartz countertops are extremely low-maintenance; they do not require annual sealing and are so easy to clean simply using a microfiber soft cloth and mild detergent.

Since quartz is a blend of natural quartz and resins, it is much more eco-friendly to produce.

It’s not just about the beauty of the countertop but also if it will work for your daily activities. Ultimately, the best material for a countertop will depend on your own specific preferences and needs.

Countertop FAQ

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

Quartz, granite and marble are premium-quality materials that add value and beauty to your home. They are always the 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 mild cleaning solution and damp cloth.

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 also never good to cut directly on your countertop as this can cause damage and scratch 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 countertops are much more low maintenance materials.

Also, check out this great article in Architectural Digest on all cleaning tips.

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

Countertop comparison chart:


Quartz

Quartz is a very high quality man-made material composed of a mixture of resins and natural quartz. It is very durable resistant to heat, stains and scratches making it a good choice for busy households. It is still advisable to use hot pads or trivets when setting hot pans or pots on the surface.

Granite

Granite is known as a natural stone for its hard, natural and unique surface and remains to be a preferred option for kitchen countertops. It is, however, much more susceptible to heat, scratching and stains. Homeowners usually choose granite for its exquisite look, designs and natural beauty that really cannot be replicated.

Marble

Marble is a natural stone that is soft and remains to be a popular choice for kitchen countertops. It offers a timeless appeal with its sophisticated hues and delicate detailing. Available in both a honed and polished finish. Marble countertops are generally the preferred choice of surfaces when trying to achieve a higher end look.

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

Summary

Overall, quartz, granite and marble are all good investments for your home. You just should keep in mind the unique properties of each one and how they will blend into your lifestyle with the design of your home before making a decision.

Unique, luxurious granite, marble and quartz with a distinctive, beautiful range of patterns & colours 

Hari Stones Granite

Granite has been a consistently highly rated option for kitchen countertops over the years. Granite will add unusual value and beauty to your home and living space.

It is popular and never fails to provide an exquisite finished look with natural composition and designs that cannot be replicated. Every slab is always different than the previous one and consistently produces natural results.

When installed, it adds a special touch of elegance and luxury to your kitchen, enhancing the overall look and feel of your living areas.

In keeping your granite tops in top condition, it is recommended to seal it yearly, depending on the frequency of use.

Hari Stones Marble

Marble is a much softer, natural stone that has a timeless appeal with its delicate detailing and variety of hues.

As marble is a metamorphic rock and composed of mostly calcite, countertops are known for their unique patterns and veining. You really achieve a great high end finished look, and produces a very polished and honed finish.

Overall, marble is still a very good choice for kitchen and bathroom countertops if you are desiring it’s characteristic deep and timeless beauty.  

The Advantages of Quartz

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

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

The other benefit of using quartz is that it is very 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 where placing hot pots and pans directly on the surface will not cause 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 worthwhile investment.

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