Learn more why porcelain countertops are more durable!
While new in the U.S. market, full slab porcelain for kitchen countertops has already proven itself in the European market to have all the best characteristics that people love in granite, quartzite or marble slabs.
Then what is the difference? – It’s a question you may ask, and the answer is quite simple: full slab porcelain has the beautiful natural stone characteristics, but they come without the hassle.
Natural stone can have such as fissures, but full slab porcelain does not stain or etch like some natural stones can.
It might sound overselling, but these porcelain slabs do live up to such hype, so lets break it all down.
What is quartz?
Quartz consists of many minerals, mostly silica or silicon dioxide.
It is the second most common mineral in the world, resulting in having a great economic importance.
The material is also used in the manufacture of glassware in its crushed (sand) form. For example, it is used in the making of fiberglass or container glass.
Quartz slabs are partially man-made but, this could be one of the reasons why they are so special.
Since quartz is not 100% natural, it is non-porous thus, resulting in no opportunity for any clogging in pores and making it less of a nuisance to maintain.
Why quartz?
If you’d like something marble-like but want to save time with the maintenance required while keeping durability, you might have just found your answer.
Quartz has a very elegant and sophisticated feel to it which would easily fit into any bathroom environment, making it chic and classy.
It is a very strong yet quite forgiving material, resulting in it being of one the more appealing options for bathroom vanity countertops.
Lastly, Quartz is highly eco-friendly which causes it to be an appealing option among many homeowners.
You may be concerned regarding the fact Quartz is not 100% natural. As slabs are engineered by manufacturers, mining and transportation will not leave carbon footprints in quartz such as they may in granite or marble.
Practical characteristics of quartz
We might have been talking about why quartz is one of the best materials out there to use for bathroom vanity countertops above, but let’s break it down to show you why we are so sure about it.
- Lowest-maintenance of all – there is no chance of staining, it does not require sealing and regular soap and water are enough to maintain it. Although, we do recommend not to use harsh chemicals or acidic liquids though as those can leave their prints on the surface.
- High durability – since it is harder than granite or marble, it is chip and scratch resistant which makes it ageless.
- Sanitary – no porous, no bacteria, no worries.
While other materials are mostly heat-resistant, quartz is an odd one out. In case of a sudden increase of temperature on the surface – for example a turned-on styling product –, there is a chance that some cracking in the material can occur.
This does not mean it’s incompatible with bathroom usage, only that you will have use a hot pad or a heat-resistant case under those tools.

Testimonial
We are so pleased with our new countertops. We own a rental home in Kissimmee, Fl but we live in Chicago. We were a little apprehensive about finding the right person to do the job for us. We found Zsolt Granite using the internet and decided to give them a call because of the positive reviews. Dwight from Zsolt Granite called us back the next day and we set up a time for him to go to our home to do an estimate. He did so promptly and called back with a favorable estimate. After deciding to go with this company, Dwight sent us pictures of different granite colors and answered our many questions regarding the project.
We arrived yesterday to our Florida home and we couldn't be more pleased with the job. The countertops are just beautiful. I was so impressed with the workmanship and how clean they left our home. I'm sure there must have been a lot of dust and debris from the removal of the old countertops but there was no evidence of them being here other than the beautiful finished job.
I would highly recommend this company mainly because:l. Their quote was the best of the 3 other companies
2. Dwight returned our call/email within a few hours with any questions or concerns
3. The workmanship is top notch
4. They are very respectful of your home; cleaning up after the project is complete.
