Quartz Bathroom Countertops

More from the Bathroom Remodeling Gallery

When people think of “countertop,” usually vinyl laminates or marble slabs come to mind. Quartz isn't typically at the top of the list. Yet quartz, which is the natural stone surface that many vinyl laminates are modeled after, is a very popular, durable and attractive form of countertop.

Quartz countertops are considered an engineered stone. They are 93% quartz, but have a small percentage of binding materials and/or pigmentation. Because quartz is somewhat flexible in its composition, it's easier to handle than other brittle materials.

Quartz is one of the most durable countertop materials available today. Quartz is much like granite in that it is completely stain-resistant, nearly unbreakable, nonporous, totally scratch-resistant, scorch-resistant and unlikely to chip or crack. It’s a wonder material that works perfectly for bathrooms and kitchens. Because it can be easily sanitized, it is perfect for food prep. Any portion of a quartz countertop doubles as a cutting board, and the entire surface is extremely smooth.

The beauty of natural quartz is one reason for its popularity. It exhibits the beauty of stone, and retains that beauty forever.

Although it is the second most abundant mineral in the earth’s crust, quartz is not a cheap option. As a heavier element than granite and requiring professional installation, costs range from $50-$90 per square foot.

With the number of benefits that quartz offers, it's not surprising that it's one of the most popular options for bathroom countertops. The durable beauty and hygienic nature of the stone make it a perfect choice.
