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

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

Countertop FAQ

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

Factors you will want 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 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 simply 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 your countertop. It is always wise 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 also never good to cut directly on your countertop as this can scratch and cause damage to the surface. It is best to use a cutting board to protect your countertop from knife marks and other cutting tools.

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

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

In addition to style and material, it is 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.

Countertop comparison chart:


Quartz

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

Granite

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

Marble

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

Marble countertops are a little different where they can be a more tedious surface in terms of scratches, stains and susceptibility to heat. For maintenance of these tops, we really recommend yearly sealing the surfaces and maintaining daily care by simple 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 harmonize with your lifestyle with the design of your home before making your decision.

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

Hari Stones Granite

Granite has been a consistently highly rated option for kitchen countertops. Granite will add unusual beauty and value 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 consistent in producing natural results.

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

In keeping your granite tops in top condition, we recommend 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 sourced from reliable, stable natural minerals and comes in a wide range of colours & patterns

The main benefit of quartz is that it is a man-made material. The results are a more consistent, uniform 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 very easy-to-maintain for kitchen countertops.

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

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