6. Consistency and Uniformity
Some people like the non-uniform look of stone like granite, which will look different with every piece that you use. However, if you want a more uniform, consistent look from your countertops, quartz is a good choice. It can be manufactured so that it has a more even appearance. While some might find the small imperfections in other materials charming, others would prefer the neater look of quartz. As well as changing its appearance, this can actually make repairs easier too. You can repair it in a way that the repair isn't as visible, which can be tough in other materials where you need to match the colour and pattern.

7. Affordable
Compared to other material options for your countertops, quartz is not considerably more expensive. In fact, its price can often compare to that of granite countertops. Both quartz and granite have their benefits, so either way, you get countertops that offer certain advantages while costing around the same amount.

8. Long-lasting
Thanks to their durability, you can expect quartz countertops to last a long time. That makes them a great investment. You most likely won't need to replace or even repair your quartz countertops for many years. Once your countertops are in place, they require very little maintenance, so you won't be spending a lot of time and money on their upkeep. Plus, they'll make your kitchen look good if you ever decide that you want to sell your home, potentially increasing the value of your property.

9. Get What You See
Another advantage of the consistent nature of the appearance of quartz is that you can order what you see in samples. When you look at samples, you can see what you're going to get. This isn't the case with natural stone options like marble and granite, where every piece is slightly different. While those materials do allow you to pick a certain colour or design, you can't choose exactly what they're going to look like in advance. Being able to do this with quartz means you can visualize your design more accurately.

10. A Popular and Impressive Option
If you're concerned about being on-trend at all, you can guarantee that your countertops will be in style if you choose quartz. Quartz has been a very popular choice for countertops for a long time, first becoming popular in Europe before it started to gain ground in North America. Your kitchen will look impressive to any guests you have over, and you'll love looking at your quartz countertops every day too.
