Quartz is a very hardy material and many people love it for its low maintenance. Staining is very rare and usually limited to occasions where a hyper-abrasive substance comes into contact with the surface, such as an oven cleaner.

Quartz is much more hard-wearing than granite, making it difficult (but not impossible) to damage. Generally, scratches can be avoided by not throwing or placing sharp objects onto the tops and not cutting directly on the countertops. You should always follow your aftercare advice to avoid any issues.

Is Quartz Heat Resistant?

Quartz is resistant to heat and may take short bursts of “reasonable” heat. However, if the temperature is too high, the worktop can become damaged. For that reason, we don’t advise placing hot pans and saucers directly onto the work surface straight from the oven or hob and we advise using mats, trivets and coasters.

In What Lengths Can You Get Quartz Worktops?

Worktops are usually available in 3 sizes: Standard: 3.0m x 1.4m Oversized: 3.1m x 1.5m Jumbo: 3.2m x 1.6m

What Is The Standard Thickness Of Quartz Worktops?

The most common thickness of worktops is 20mm and 30mm (2-3cm) and we offer both as standard across all of our quartz products. The 30mm option is, of course, more expensive, but it gives a weightier, perhaps more classic look. The 20mm option is often preferred in a more modern, contemporary and sleek style kitchen.

Do Quartz Countertops Add Value To Your Home?

When considering quartz worktop costs, it’s worth remembering quartz is a brilliant material to bring the “WOW” factor to your home. For this reason, it’s one of the top choices for those renovating a property with the intention of selling at a profit. Is quartz cheaper than granite or marble? Yes, but it still has a high-end look that will make your property look special.

Do I Have To Seal Quartz Kitchen Countertops?

Quartz worktops don’t require sealing. They are non-porous, so they won’t absorb liquid, which is what the process of sealing would prevent. 100% natural stone materials such as granite and marble do require sealing due to their porosity.

Do Quartz Countertops Fade In Sunlight?

Yes, like many other materials, UV rays can cause some fading. However, for it to be visible it would many hours of exposureevery day and for many years.

How Level Do Cabinets Need To Be For Quartz Countertops?

What can go under under quartz counter tops? Almost anything can go under quartz, but you should remember that quartz does not have any flexibility. As such, any cabinets on which the quartz countertops are to sat need to be level to ensure the best fit and avoid damage.

Are Quartz Worktops Better Than Granite?

It depends on what effect you are after. Quartz is man-made by mixing ground crystals with resins, glues and enhancers. They aren’t as traditional as natural stone, but they do allow for more modern, creative design and, typically, cost less than granite or marble equivalents. It is also an extremely practical material which is a big plus when it comes to creating wonderful kitchens. If you have a special requirement, please get in touch with your dimensions.
