Cons of Universal Quartz Countertops
- Cost
Universal quartz countertops can be more expensive than other countertop materials like laminate or even some natural stones. However, their durability and low maintenance can make up for the higher price in the long run. - Heat Sensitivity
While Universal Quartz is heat-resistant, it’s not heat-proof. Placing hot pans directly on the surface could cause damage, so it’s important to use trivets or hot pads. - Not for Outdoor Use
Universal Quartz is not recommended for outdoor kitchens or areas exposed to direct sunlight, as it can discolor over time when exposed to UV rays.
Low Maintenance
Universal Quartzz can easily be cleaned with a small towel or paper towel and warm water if those accidents do happen. Its anti-bacterial surface also means that you don’t have to spend money on cleaning supplies with harsh chemicals.
Universal Quartzz countertops are also very low maintenance. It is stain-resistant, so you don’t need to worry about those coffee rings or wine spills. Those usually occur in Granite and Marble as the acid corrodes the porous surface of the stone.
