In recent years, our team at C&C Stoneworks has seen a massive shift in homeowner preferences. Quartz has quickly risen to become a top choice for kitchens and bathrooms across Eastern North Carolina. But what exactly is fueling this trend?
Whether you’re remodeling a historic home or building something brand new, let’s explore why quartz is the modern standard for durability and style.
1. Extraordinary Durability for Busy Homes
Quartz countertops are engineered by combining natural quartz crystals with high-quality resins, resulting in a surface that is exceptionally hard. At C&C Stoneworks, we often recommend quartz for high-traffic kitchens because it is far less prone to scratching, chipping, or cracking than many natural stones. It’s built to handle the rigors of a busy household.
2. The Low-Maintenance Advantage
One of the biggest draws for our clients is the non-porous surface. Unlike granite or marble, which require periodic sealing to stay protected, quartz is virtually maintenance-free. While it is highly resistant to stains from coffee, wine, and oils, it’s worth noting that it isn’t “stain-proof”; quick cleanups are still best! However, the lack of a sealing requirement makes it a stress-free favorite for modern living.
3. Endless Design Possibilities
Whether you’re visiting our showroom for a sleek, minimalist look or a classic aesthetic, quartz offers unparalleled variety. We carry slabs that beautifully mimic the look of high-end Carrara marble or deep, veined granite, giving you that luxury appearance with none of the natural stone “diva” behavior.
4. Consistency You Can Count On
Because quartz is an engineered product, it offers a uniform appearance. This is a huge benefit for homeowners with large kitchen islands or expansive L-shaped layouts. With quartz, you don’t have to worry about unpredictable veining or “dead spots” in the slab; what you see in our showroom is exactly what will be installed in your home.
5. A Hygienic Choice for Families
Health and cleanliness are top of mind for many of our customers. Because quartz is non-porous, it naturally inhibits the growth of bacteria, mold, and mildew. It provides a safe, clean surface for food preparation, giving you peace of mind every time you cook.
6. Premium Value, Competitive Pricing
As manufacturing has evolved, quartz has become much more accessible. At C&C Stoneworks, we pride ourselves on offering premium quartz options that fit a wide range of budgets, allowing you to invest in your home’s value without overextending your finances.
