5 Benefits Of Allen Roth Quartz Countertops
Quartz countertops, also known as engineered stone countertops are very common in kitchens and bathrooms. You can find different types of countertops everywhere, but there are many different units available. The units are loved by many people due to the many benefits and the style that they come with. I love my Allen Roth Quartz Countertops because of how it looks, and it’s functionality! Some of these benefits include:
Durability
The countertops are made from 93% natural stone and 7% resin binder. The result is a durable stone that is very strong. On the Mohs hardness scale the units have a scratch and scorch rating of #7.
The durability means that you don’t have to keep on buying new quartz countertops every now and then. They are also scratch resistant; therefore, you don’t have to worry of knives or other kitchen tools making marks on the surface.
Since the countertops are tough, you don’t have to worry of damaging the surface when you place hot pots, boiling water or pans on the surface.
Non-porous
Quartz countertops don’t have capillary channels on their surface. This means that no liquid can penetrate them. This makes the units highly stain resistant thus they are easy to maintain regardless of where you install them.
Wide color choice
If you love color you will love these countertops. Since the units are engineered you can apply almost any color on them and achieve perfect results. If you know you will be painting the countertops more often you should go with neutral-colored units.
Flexibility
In addition to the above advantages, the countertops are very flexible as you can install them in a wide range of areas. As mentioned, the units are common in bathrooms and kitchens. They are most ideal in bathrooms as they are resistant to bacteria growth.
The units are also ideal to be installed in the kitchen as they are resistant to heat. They are also non porous thus resistant to stains.
Low maintenance
Unlike other countertops such as granite and marble, these units don’t need to be regularly maintained. For example, since they are non-porous you don’t have to seal them. You also don’t have to polish or buff them.
According to the manufacturers, when the quartz countertops get dirty you only need to use mild soap and water and you will give the units a perfect shine. When cleaning them you should avoid using bleach as it tends to etch the surface.
Guide on how to buy the countertops
Brand: There are many brands of these countertops and each brand comes with its own pros and cons. You should research the different brands and settle on the most ideal for you.
Warranty: while the countertops are naturally durable, it doesn’t mean that they can’t break. To protect yourself you should buy from supplier offering a warranty. For ideal results you should go with a supply providing a warranty of up to 10 years.
Conclusion
Regardless of the type of Allen Roth quartz countertops that you buy you should take good care of them. This calls for you to avoid hitting them especially at the edges. You should also avoid washing them using bleach.
