A simple guide to quartz worktops

Discover the benefits of choosing quartz worktops

Is quartz the right choice for your kitchen worktop? Combining timeless style with easy use, quartz worktops can turn a kitchen into a space that’s uniquely yours. Discover the benefits of a material that combines the beauty of natural quartz minerals with resins, polymers, and pigments to create a surface that’s not only stylish, but also remarkably durable.

What is quartz?

Quartz is a manmade material crafted by crushing natural quartz minerals and blending them with resins, polymers, and pigments. The process involves moulding, compressing, and heating to create sturdy slabs, resulting in a highly durable surface that’s easy to maintain.

Available in a broad range of colours and patterns, from sleek plain surfaces to striking granite and marble look-alikes, quartz offers something for everyone.

Top 3 reasons to choose quartz worktops

  • Easy care – Quartz not only makes your kitchen look stylish but also saves you from a lot of trouble. It doesn’t get scratched or chipped easily, so your worktop stays looking good without a lot of work.
  • Each slab is unique – Each quartz slab can replicate the unique pattern of marble, so you can enjoy having a kitchen worktop that’s a little bit special.
  • Lots of options available – With many colours and patterns available, you can make your kitchen look just the way you want with quartz. Whether you like a modern style or the classic look of granite and marble. Plus, there’s an option to suit most budgets.

What to expect from quartz worktops

  • Different patterns – Each quartz slab is one-of-a-kind, adding a unique touch to your kitchen. Stain-resistant for peace of mind: Quartz doesn’t stain easily. Just wipe spills up quickly to keep it looking fresh.
  • No sunbathing – Use quartz inside, not outside in direct sunlight.
  • Watch out for hot stuff – Use trivets to protect the worktop from hot things and keep it looking good.
  • Use a chopping board – Even though quartz doesn’t scratch easily, using a chopping board is always a good idea.

How to care for quartz

  • Daily cleaning – Wipe the worktop with a damp cloth and a little bit of soapy water or a daily granite and marble cleaner. Rinse the cloth, wipe the surface again to get rid of soap, and finish with a quick buff using a clean, dry cloth.
  • Clean-up quickly – If you spill something, use a kitchen towel to soak it up fast. Follow up with the daily cleaning routine to stop spills from leaving a mark.
  • Skip the harsh chemicals – Don’t use strong cleaning products with high pH levels, or scrubbers that can scratch.

If consistency and durability is what you’re looking for, quartz deserves a top spot on your shortlist. Its resilience makes it a standout choice for a stylish and long-lasting kitchen. Discover our range of quartz now and let Plan-It Stone make your kitchen dreams come true.
