White quartz worktops are a classic option for any home, with simple sophistication and a richness that evokes luxury.
White quartz goes with any colour scheme or interior style, and it’s fresh and clean which makes it perfect for a kitchen.
This tone of worktop is an effective way to give the illusion of more space in the room, as it reflects light perfectly and brightens up the room, while still adding character and elegance.
And with a host of different finishes to choose from and price points, you can customise the look of your worktops to suit the overall style you’re striving for.
Why choose white quartz worktops?
Quartz offers numerous benefits for kitchen worktops.
It’s a durable material that has been engineered to provide the strength of granite but with the addition of being a non-porous surface, so it won’t stain or harbour bacteria.
Quartz is scratch-resistant, impact-resistant and can withstand heat, as well as being easy to clean, so it’s perfect for busy kitchens, even when you choose a bright white tone.
A clean look
White is associated with a clean look and freshness, which is why it’s such an appealing choice for kitchens where you want to evoke that hygienic, bright and sanitary environment.
Providing you wipe up crumbs and other cooking messes regularly, your kitchen will always look sparkling.
It’s also a shade that works well in kitchens of all sizes, enhancing a large space but also maximising light in a smaller kitchen to make it appear bigger and more spacious than it really is.
Non porous
One of the many benefits of quartz is that it’s an engineered material so it’s non-porous and this is a benefit when it comes to staining.
While you may be worried about choosing a white worktop because of the risk of stains and marks, the good news is that quartz doesn’t need to be resealed like granite in order to maintain its non-porous properties, so you can enjoy the stain-resistant benefits year after year.
Easy to clean
In a kitchen, where spillages are bound to happen, you need your worktop to work for you, not against you.
Quartz is a fantastic material for this, because you can spill liquids on it without the risk of them penetrating the material, making it easy to clean up without leaving a stain.
Simply wipe the surface down with a damp, soft cloth and you’re done – no need for expensive cleaners or harsh chemicals.
