Quartz

One of the main benefits of quartz countertops is that they are extremely durable. Quartz never have to be sealed, unlike granite, marble, and other surfaces that require regular maintenance.White quartz are also nonabsorbent, so they resist staining and don't harbor harmful bacteria.Homeowners and designers also turn to quartz for its versatile and beautiful designs, colors, and patterns.Quartz are scratch resistant, but due to their hardness they may dull a knife that is used directly on the surface.Like all natural stone countertops, quartz can be damaged by sudden changes in temperature. Pot holders and trivets should be used to protect a quartz countertop from anything hot. Though quartz are not approved for outdoor use, quartz may be used in outdoor kitchens with full overhead coverage from the elements.
