Kitchen worktops have always been a topic of confusion for people during the interior design process being conducted on their property. This confusion arises because there are so many options to choose from. So, to help you with the confusion in the guide, we will discuss two main materials: ceramic and quartz kitchen worktops.
Features of ceramic kitchen worktops are as follows
Non Porous
Like most of the good worktop materials, ceramic kitchen worktops are also non-porous by nature. As a result, there are no bad stains left on the worktop that may further cause you problems.
Best Marble Alternative
Ceramic kitchen worktops are very similar to marble, and therefore, if you are looking for something affordable and capable of replacing marble, then a ceramic kitchen worktop can be a good option.
Similar to other natural stones
Ceramics are not just good for replacing marble; they can also easily replace other natural stones. So, ceramic can bring that class to the kitchen like any other natural stone.
Features of quartz worktops are as follows
Non-porous
Strong resistance against stains makes quartz kitchen worktops a top priority for many people. The material becomes very easy to clean and maintain. All one would need to do is swipe through the worktop with a cloth.
Very Durable
A kitchen that has quartz worktops installed in the kitchen does not demand renovations and repairs very often. This is because the material comes with great durability and can retain its original shine for a longer period.
Easy to replace
The quartz kitchen worktops are popular for their expensive, classy look. Such an appearance makes it easy for people to replace those expensive materials with these affordable options; thus, the home interior does not suffer, and people can save a lot of money on an otherwise costly affair.
Conclusion
Most of the features in these two worktop materials are similar, and both of these materials are engineered stones. The only difference between these two is that ceramic turns out to be more affordable, so if you are looking for something affordable, then you should prefer ceramic over quartz, or if such is not the case, then you can go for any of the two, whichever you find being the most suitable.
