To make the decision-making process a bit easier, we’ve outlined the key benefits of concrete-look quartz countertops, as well as six of our favorite concrete alternatives.

The Benefits of Concrete-Look Quartz Countertops

Whether you’re renovating your kitchen or creating an outdoor living space, you’re likely looking for the ideal countertop. From quartz vs. granite to marble vs. concrete, there are plenty of options to consider. After spending hours scouring Pinterest, you may have decided on concrete because you love the look of it. But did you know that concrete-look quartz countertops offer just as many benefits as concrete, if not more? Keep the following benefits of engineered quartz countertops in mind when comparing concrete to quartz:

Heat Resistance

Have you ever placed a pot or pan on your countertop in the middle of cooking? Even if you don’t plan to place hot pots or pans on our counter, it may happen once or twice! When it comes to your countertops, you need a surface that is heat resistant and won’t become damaged when exposed to hot cooking tools. With concrete-look quartz, you can have peace of mind knowing that they are very heat resistant and won’t be easily damaged.

Maintenance

As a homeowner, you have a seemingly never-ending to-do list of home improvement projects. The last thing you want to do is spend your free time maintaining your countertops. Luckily, concrete-look quartz countertops are non-porous, meaning that it does not require sealing to prevent staining from water and dirt. On the other hand, concrete is porous and more likely to absorb messes, resulting in staining.

Stain Resistance

From cooking meals with your family to your children sitting at the kitchen island to do homework, your countertops are bound to see the occasional mess. You need countertops that require nothing more than a quick wipe down — and that’s where quartz can help! Concrete countertops are more likely to absorb water, dirt, and grime that can lead to staining, while concrete-look quartz will retain its beauty for many years to come.

Versatility

Concrete offers a beautiful, neutral color palette that makes the ideal backdrop for any kitchen. But standard concrete can appear flat and lack any depth and dimension. Instead, you can opt for concrete-look quartz countertops which offer the beauty of natural concrete with additional design elements and color options that can elevate the overall look of your kitchen countertops.

Durability

Your countertops need to be able to withstand a lot of wear and tear. While concrete countertops offer some durability, they’re still susceptible to stains, scratches, chips, dents, and cracks. Concrete-look quartz countertops are extremely durable and able to resist most types of damage, so you can rest easy knowing your remarkable countertops will continue looking their best no matter what you throw their way.

When you’re hoping to introduce the look of concrete into your kitchen, concrete-look quartz countertops are the ideal option.
