Quartz & Solid Surface Countertops in Lebanon, PA
Many homeowners think of granite when they want a beautiful high-end kitchen countertop. However, a growing number of homeowners are now realizing the benefits of quartz. An engineered stone quartz countertop is a fairly new option, but this material is quickly gaining a following for its durability, strength and beauty. Quartz is now a popular alternative to granite because it's resilient and comes in an array of colors.
Why Choose Quartz Countertops?
Quartz is a beautifully engineered stone countertop
that's available in more hues and colors than other materials, like natural granite and marble. Quartz countertops have a rich finish that can complement any kitchen or bathroom. They also have the same great durability found in granite and concrete without the weaknesses. Unlike granite, quartz is maintenance-free and very hard to chip or crack. It's also a non-porous material, so it resists stains far better than other products. Additionally, quartz countertops will not harbor bacteria, and they're easy to keep clean and free of unsightly coffee or juice stains.

Why Choose a Solid-Surface Countertop?
An alternative to quartz, solid-surface countertops
are constructed from a man-made material that can be used for seamless countertop installations. First introduced in the 1960s under the brand name Corian, solid surface is now available from many manufacturers. Solid surface is a low-maintenance and non-porous material that can mimic the appearance of marble and granite without the drawbacks. While it's usually formed into finished sheet countertops, it can also be cast into shapes like shower pans. The biggest appeal of a solid-surface countertop is its seamlessness, which eliminates gaps where water and bacteria can collect.
