Quartz is one of the only countertop materials to be naturally nonporous. This means it can repel mold, mildew, and other bacteria.
It also takes away the need to be resealed every few years like granite. With its natural ability to get rid of dirt and bacteria, cleaning quartz is also considerably easier than cleaning other types of counters.
This quality makes quartz very low maintenance and loses the requirement of having to buy special cleaners. Special sealing materials or overlays are also not necessary. As soon as quartz is done being made, it can be installed in your kitchen and virtually last a lifetime.
The way the quartz is mixed and engineered is what makes it so durable. It also makes it possible to have quartz counters in virtually any design and color. Finding quartz to match your designed kitchen is extremely easy. You can even have quartz designed to look like marble and granite.
