While most people are go for this material for kitchen countertop, Quartz Stone comes with a fairly high price.
Homeowners should also be careful when placing very hot pots and pans directly on top of a Quartz Stone tabletop. This can be damaged by excessive heat on the surface of this tabletop. As a precaution, hot pots and pans should be lined with thick heat pads so that they do not stain the surface of the Quartz Stone tabletop.
Also, among the other disadvantages are:
- Expensive
- Very heavy material
- Like Granite and Marble, Quartz Stone still has fine cavities that can absorb water over a long period of time. Needs regular cleaning for long-term maintenance.
