The awesome number of choices is enough to confuse mindful people. One of the most popular choices is white quartz, but just like any other material, it comes with advantages and disadvantages. This article provides an honest white quartz countertops pros and cons breakdown.\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-90bdf08 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"90bdf08\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\tWe at Granite Selection have been in the business long enough to know the preferred materials for kitchen countertops. Quartz is a commonly used material for indoor floors, backsplashes, and countertops. This naturally occurring mineral is durable, elegant, and sleek. Moreover, quartz countertops are stain resistant, thus requiring little maintenance. These countertops come in various colors, and white is one of them.\n\nMany people are intimidated by white countertops because of the obvious reasons. White shows dirt and stains quite easily. However, white also lends itself to modern, minimalist interiors that have been the trend in the past few years. White is also pristine and classy. Hence, despite some obvious drawbacks, white quartz is one of the most popular materials used for countertops.\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-619132c elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading\" data-id=\"619132c\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"heading.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t<style>\/*!

White also goes well with almost any color. White countertops go well with gray, red, or brown cabinets.

Those on tight budgets may have to skip quartz. There are, however, inexpensive alternatives for those who don\u2019t wish to spend too much on kitchen countertops. Wood and laminate are two good examples. While it\u2019s utterly tempting to impress guests with luxe countertops, it\u2019s a bad idea to spend most of your budget on countertops and skimp on anything else, such as backsplashes and cabinets.\n\nThough expensive, quartz is still cheaper than granite or marble. However, the cost of installing quartz countertops is higher than the cost of installing other types of countertops. The high cost comes with the benefits mentioned above, and people who put durability above anything else will find that quartz is an ideal choice. It\u2019s for people who consider their kitchen worktops a long-term investment. After all, if it\u2019s expensive but it lasts much longer than the cheap alternatives, you\u2019re still making the right choice.\n\n<strong>LOOKS DIRTY QUITE EASILY<\/strong>\nQuartz surfaces are easy to clean, but until those drops of chocolate aren\u2019t wiped off, they will remain noticeable. That\u2019s what white surfaces do \u2014 make everything on them appear more visible, more distracting. All that oil splatter after frying chicken will definitely call your attention.

Not everyone likes the snowy ambiance in the kitchen. Some people dislike the brightness that this color brings. White worktops can be so delicate and intimidating as to keep anyone from preparing food on them.\n\nWe have a number of options in this case. There are other colors to choose from. There are other varieties of white worktops. However, those who are still considering white countertops may be surprised to see how white quartz effortlessly blends with other colors and materials. Smart kitchen designs can still incorporate white surfaces, but for a large part, white quartz is good for minimalist designs.\n\nVULNERABILITY TO HEAT\nOne of quartz\u2019s weaknesses is its low resistance to heat. Unlike granite, it succumbs to heat quite easily and may get scorch marks from hot skillets or pans. People working in busy kitchens should remember that heat marks on white quartz countertops are expensive to remove.\n\nAlso, ultraviolet radiation discolors quartz. Leave an area exposed to sunlight, and it will develop a yellowish discoloration after a while.\n\nINSTALLATION CHALLENGES\nQuartz slabs are particularly heavy. Installations, therefore, require sturdy reinforcement and should be done only by professionals. Botched DIY kitchen projects where counters show seams at sections where slabs meet are mistakes that are expensive to fix.\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Homeowners have a variety of options for kitchen countertops.
