24 November 2020 by Janet Robinson

Quartz countertops are highly sought after as far as countertop materials go. They are durable and non-porous, which is why so many homeowners are choosing this material when giving their countertops an update. If you're keen on this material, use these selection tips to your benefit.

Assess Different Thicknesses

Thickness is probably an attribute that isn't at the top of your list when it comes to choosing quartz countertops, but you still want to spend time looking at the thickness options because it will impact a lot of things. For instance, if you go with a thicker quartz material, it probably will be more durable.

That being said, thicker quartz materials will cost more so you need to make room in the budget if you want a thicker cut. You might even try finding a good place in thickness to where you're getting durability, but not having to pay too much. 

Think About What Colors Are Best

Quartz countertops are endless in terms of the colors they come in. Manufacturers can provide white, gray, black, and brown quartz just to name a couple of popular options. 

It's hard to beat white quartz because of its elegance. It's the perfect color to go with if you have darker cabinets in the kitchen. Or you may want to go with black quartz because it's pretty unique and can make your countertops stand out all the more.

Have Quartz Cut Before Installation

Cutting quartz countertops can be a pretty involved process, which is why you want it executed ever before your countertops are shipped to your home. That will make the installation go a lot smoother because then all that needs to be done is for the quartz countertops to be properly placed and sealed.

Make sure you're working with a skilled manufacturer that can effectively cut your quartz countertops to your liking. Also, make sure you tell them the exact dimensions of your kitchen layout so that the countertops are cut perfectly. Hire a professional for this to ensure the dimensions you give the manufacturer are right.

When getting new countertops put in the kitchen, quarts may be a material that you have your eyes set on because of how beautiful and durable it is. The amazing qualities of this countertop material will be something you can enjoy for many years if you know how to select quartz for your home's kitchen.
