Choosing the right material for your countertop involves considering various factors such as your budget, aesthetic preferences, durability and maintenance requirements.
Here are some popular countertop materials along with their characteristics to help you make an informed decision.
Quartz
Quartz is an exceptionally durable material, resistant to scratches, chips and cracks. This durability makes it well-suited for high-traffic areas.
Unlike natural stones like granite or marble, quartz countertops are non-porous, which means they resist stains and don't require sealing. This makes them easy to clean and maintain.
