Benefits of White Quartz
As your trusted source for pure white quartz countertops and many other varieties, we’d like to highlight some of the common reasons why customers opt for this particular style of countertop:
- Quartz features a moisture-, stain- and bacteria-resistant surface, making it a top pick for fuss-free countertops. No sealing is required, which can be a major plus for those who favor minimal maintenance. This stone is also an overachiever in terms of chip and crack resistance, meaning these countertops can stand up to daily wear and tear without issue.
- Pure white quartz countertops in particular make an elegant statement in various rooms. They can blend in seamlessly with all sorts of kitchen and bathroom design styles, from classic to contemporary. Faint speckles or veins of gray, tan or off-white (depending on the quartz variety) can be used to accent other design elements, making them pop alongside the crisp white surface.
- Quartz comes in many different designs, so if you decide you want something a bit more visually intriguing than plain white, there’s plenty to choose from! As mentioned above, Cosmos can provide samples so you can compare how different varieties look in your space and confirm that the undertones suit.
What to Know About Quartz
If you’re heavily considering quartz for your new countertops, here are a few things to be aware of before making your final decision:
- Hot cookware and dishware can damage quartz, so be prepared to use trivets, coasters and hot pads to protect your countertops if you go with it.
- Harsh cleaners containing bleach or ammonia should also be avoided on quartz. Mild dishwashing detergent and warm water on a soft sponge should do the trick for handling everyday messes.
- While quartz is stain resistant, spills should still be cleaned up promptly to prevent possible discoloration or dulling of the brilliant surface.
Additionally, keep in mind that quartz can get pricey with installation costs tied in, especially if you’ve got a lot of area to cover. You may want to consider using remnants, or featuring a standout quartz for a smaller area like an island while using a more affordable option for surrounding counters.
