Q: How do I maintain a quartz worktop?

Quartz worktops are easy to maintain due to their non-porous nature. Daily cleaning with a soft cloth and mild detergent is sufficient. Avoid using harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners, as these can damage the surface. There's no need for sealing or resealing, making it a practical choice for busy kitchens.

Q: Can quartz worktops resist heat and scratches?

Quartz is resistant to scratches and is quite durable, but it is not as heat resistant as natural stone. It's recommended to use trivets or hot pads under hot pots and pans to avoid the risk of heat damage. For cutting and chopping, using a cutting board is advisable to maintain the surface's integrity.

Q: Are quartz worktops stain-resistant?

Yes, quartz worktops are highly stain-resistant due to their non-porous nature. Spills can be easily wiped away without leaving stains. However, it's still a good practice to clean spills promptly, especially highly pigmented substances.

Q: How long do quartz worktops last?

Quartz worktops are known for their longevity and can last many years when properly cared for. They are less likely to crack or chip compared to natural stone, adding to their durability.

Q: Can I cut directly on a quartz worktop?

While quartz is scratch-resistant, it's recommended to use a cutting board to prevent possible surface marks and protect your knives. Direct cutting can also wear down the finish over time.

Q: Does the colour of quartz fade over time?

Quartz is generally resistant to fading, especially indoors. However, some quartz colours may fade slightly if exposed to direct sunlight over long periods, so it's best to avoid placing it in areas with constant direct sunlight.

Q: Can quartz worktops be repaired if damaged?

Minor damages to quartz worktops, such as small chips or cracks, can usually be repaired with a resin or epoxy that matches the colour of the worktop. However, larger damages might require professional repair or replacement of the damaged section.

WHAT IS GRANITE?

Granite is a light-coloured igneous rock with grains large enough to be visible to the unaided eye. It forms from the slow crystallization of magma below the Earth's surface. Granite is composed mainly of quartz and feldspar with minor amounts of mica, amphiboles, and other minerals. This mineral composition usually gives granite a red, pink, grey, or white colour with dark mineral grains visible throughout the rock.

Why choose quartz for kitchen worktops?

Quartz is highly prized for its wide range of colours, consistent patterns, and low maintenance. It's a man-made material, combining natural quartz with resins, which results in a very hard and durable surface. Unlike natural stone, quartz offers more uniform patterns and colours, making it easier to match with kitchen designs. It's also non-porous, meaning it resists staining and doesn't require sealing.
