Festooning the Platforms: Mistakes to Avoid While Choosing a Quartz Kitchen Worktop

You will surely agree if I quote,” kitchens are the kingdom of the home”. And you know what, their countertops form the crown. For your royal court, the crown should shine, endure, fit, and perform in the best way. Right? So what can make the heart of your living place beat softly and sustainably? Quartz kitchen worktops  Yes, you heard it right.

Imagine you visited a guest and admired their quartz countertop. You instantly selected one for your renovated kitchen, but unfortunately, you missed looking into details like thickness and edging, patterns, colour, and features, including heat resistance. What else will you be left with, rather than loads of regret? To avoid such situations, take a look at the details mentioned below.

Skipping Edge Profiles

Have you ever been fascinated by the scenes from Hollywood where actresses sit on the kitchen worktops to share heartfelt conversations during cooking time? Now imagine the scenes if the edge of the countertop was sharp or irregular or not comfortable enough for your soft moments and playful children or pets. Here comes the role of narrowing your focus on edge profiles. While sharp edges might look chic and aesthetic, looking into pragmatic options is crucial.

Rolling Eyes Over Thickness

Ignoring crucial details will lead to a path of crying over split milk. So, better take a moment to figure out the best type of quartz for your countertop. It comes in various thicknesses, like 12mm,20mm, and 30mm. Thicker slabs drown your kitchen in a sea of luxury, royalty, and elegance. On the contrary, thin ones flush your home with a vibe of modernity and carefree days. Well, it’s more than just the looks. Thickness decides various other factors like price, durability, and weight tolerance of your cabinetry. So, let’s not ignore the measurements.

Overlooking Heat Resistance Limitations

Quartz is tough and sturdy, but not invincible. The hot, burning pan right from the oven doesn’t necessarily belong to your amazing worktop. Well, although they are resistant to heat, a sudden exposure to high temperatures can make you feel a dump of ignorance. So, keep in mind the boundaries to never get out of your worktop’s shine and sparkle. Think of it as your new sweater. Would you prefer ironing it with a burning hot iron? You must seek guidance regarding the same while getting your quartz kitchen worktops installed. 

Neglecting Professional Installation
