Invest in the Appeal of
Your Home
A hot real estate market in
Toronto has led to many homeowners making the choice to renovate and remodel
different rooms in their home.
Renovations
that use quality building materials are investments that help to greatly
increase the resale value of the home as well as generating interest among
potential buyers in a competitive housing market.
Toronto homeowners looking to
change the look of the kitchen or bathroom should take advantage of the way a
new premium countertop can singlehandedly and immediately raise the visual
appeal of the room. The elegance and beauty of a natural stone countertop has
the ability to invigorate the look of even the most modest kitchen.
If the entire kitchen is being remodeled it is a great idea
to
start with a premium countertop and then design the rest of the kitchen around this luxurious focal area of the
room. Natural stone countertops offer a timeless universal appeal that command
attention while integrating favourably into virtually every type of décor.
The Appeal of Quartz
Countertops
Quartz countertops are often
considered natural stone because they contain a large percentage of quartz
(usually over 90%). The quartz is crushed and manufactured into a countertop
with the usage of a high quality resin that bonds the quartz together using
intense heat and pressure.
The way that quartz is
manufactured makes it naturally resistant to heat which is important for
countertops. A quartz countertop will resist burns much better than other
traditional types of countertop materials even when a hot pot is placed
directly on the surface. Quartz is nearly as hard as granite (one of the most
popular premium countertop materials available) and offers similar durability
expectations.
Quartz countertops rival natural
stone countertops in terms of beauty and elegance. They convey the regal and
distinguished appearance that many people associate with granite and marble.
The ability to manufacture quartz countertops means that it can be fabricated
in a huge number of colours, patterns and textures. It also means that the
store sample that is selected will accurately match the product that is
installed in your home.
Quartz countertops have a low
environmental impact in terms of what is required to extract the quartz. The
quartz is crushed meaning that any piece of extracted quartz can be used in the
process. A marble or granite countertop requires a large slab of the stone to be
removed intact from the earth in order to make the countertop.
An Excellent Choice
A quartz countertop should be
included in the discussion when considering a new countertop. Engineered stone
countertops have been designed to offer many of the amazing benefits offered by
natural stone with additional advantages as well.
Exceptional durability and a
large number of visual options make quartz countertops
a great alternative to traditional premium
countertop materials. Whether you choose natural stone or quartz you can
rest assured that you will be able to enjoy your investment for a very long time.
A quartz countertop is also one of the major selling features that you can have
in your home.
