Install Super Quartz Countertops in Austin

The most graceful marble natural stone with veins has been universally loved down the centuries. Yet, marble is costly and hard to maintain. Quartz brings the same delicate appearance without the expense and maintenance hassle.

Longer lasting than marble, quartz fits into accent walls, countertops, and backsplashes so pleasantly. Quartz combines natural stone with resins that get very strong under heat and pressure.

Quartz in Kitchen

The durability comparison

As a natural stone, marble is stronger than wood and laminates. Natural marble is soft and porous and would stain countertops without sealing. Heat can scorch marble and chipping may result from bottles. Quartz countertops are immensely strong and tolerant to stains and heat or chipping. The hassles of daily life do not harm quartz like Cashmere Carrara Quartz.

In terms of maintenance

Similar to easy daily maintenance, marble and quartz would both benefit from microfiber cloth swiping with soapy water. In addition, marble requires annual sealing to avoid stains. Sealing is not a hassle and all you do is wipe the sealant with a cloth, but drying and the smell take hours to disappear. Open the windows, meanwhile. Quartz requires no such sealing and the annual work is saved like with Statuary Classique Quartz.

Compare the costs

While considering varieties like Calacatta Taj Quartz versus marble, the costs are almost similar, marble costing $57-76 and quartz $55-75 for a square foot. The difference lies in the installation with large marble areas requiring greater effort. Quartz is heavier and requires more power to lift. The cost factor being similar will not count towards the decision.

Consistency in appearance

Taking into consideration the example of Blanca Arabescato Quartz being a manufactured product shows great consistency. The image shows the product exactly. Since marble is a natural material found in nature, no two slabs would be similar, just like snowflakes and raindrops are different. A variety of pressures and temperatures created marble on the earth and so the differences.

Variety is great and pieces of marble from the same quarry would appear different. What was seen in the showroom may be different in comparison with what was installed in the kitchen and bathroom. That is attractive indeed with the differences in shades and swirls. Consider your own preferences with regard to consistency.
