The bathroom is one of the most important areas of the house. It serves personal hygiene activities such as using the toilet, bathing, washing hands, and brushing teeth. Additionally, it is a space for meditation and decompressing your thoughts. Therefore, when choosing the surfacing materials for your bathroom, you need to select materials that enable you to effectively perform personal hygiene activities and provide a conducive and attractive space. This piece explains why quartz countertop installation gives you that experience.

What is a quartz countertop?

This is an engineering stone made from fusing natural and industrial minerals such as resins to produce a hard surface material. Besides forming a rigid surface, mixing minerals results in different colors of quartz depending on the kind of minerals. Examples of quartz colors include onyx, rose, apple green, fire engine red, smokey, tiger's eye, black and white, and many more. Quartz countertops are suitable for bathroom and kitchen surfaces. 

Why should you install quartz countertops in your bathroom?

The following are some of the top benefits of using quartz as the surface material for your bathroom:

1. They are durable

A bathroom comes into contact with water every day. Therefore, when choosing a surface material for the bathroom, your first consideration should be its water tolerance and durability. Unlike most surfacing materials, quartz is a highly non-porous material. That means they don't absorb water; hence you won't have to deal with cracks in your bathroom. Additionally, mixing natural and industrial minerals results in tough, durable, and virtually indestructible material.

2. They have low-maintenance needs

Another reason you should use quartz countertops in your bathroom is that they take less time and little or no money to maintain. First, cleaning quartz surfaces needs a piece of cloth, water, and soap. Quartz materials don't stain or discolor after washing or when water flows over their surfaces. This saves you from the cost of expensive cleaning chemicals such as bleach. Secondly, quartz countertops come with pre-installed sealants. That means you won't have to incur the costs of refinishing and re-sealing. Since the bathroom is one of the most used areas of the house, install a quartz countertop to make maintenance easier.

3. They Add Value To Your House

If you're looking to sell your house in the future, a real estate agent will look at the improvements and installations made to the house before determining its value. Quartz comes in many colors and designs, making them one of the most versatile, elegant, and refined surfacing materials. Therefore, installing quartz countertops in your bathroom can increase the market value of your house. Additionally, they are a modern trend giving you an advantage over other sellers whose houses have traditional surfacing materials.
