Kitchen upgrades are an ideal option in the weeks leading up to Thanksgiving. The upgrades give you a new and fresh space to enjoy your large dinner celebration. One upgrade to consider for the kitchen are new countertops. Quartz countertops provide many benefits for both Thanksgiving and everyday use in the kitchen.
Consider the benefits and ways to make the Thanksgiving prep process a lot easier due to new quartz countertops.
1. Scratch Resistance
A Thanksgiving meal often includes chopping, slicing, and grating. As you move knives and cheese graters around the kitchen, you do not want the kitchen tools to create scratches and damage to countertops. A quartz countertop offers strength, durability, and scratch resistance.
No matter how deep you get into your Thanksgiving preparation, the quartz countertops will usually look brand-new once everything is done. The resistance of the quartz also allows kids to help out with Thanksgiving meal options. You do not have to worry about a child damaging the counter as they use various cooking tools.
2. Pressure Resistance
Not only are the counters scratch-resistant, but the counters can handle a lot of weight and pressure. As the quartz mineral is not sustainable as a counter on its own like granite, it is engineered and mixed with materials like resin to form into the countertops.
This helps the quartz become one of the strongest materials available for countertops. The strength offers a direct advantage for Thanksgiving because of the large amounts of food served during the holiday. The average turkey served during Thanksgiving is around 30 pounds.
As you prepare the turkey, you do not need to worry about all the extra weight on the counter. When you pull the turkey out of the oven, a quartz counter can handle the extra weight as you slice and serve the meat. Along with the turkey, the counter can handle side dishes including large platters of mashed potatoes or casseroles.
You usually do not need to worry about indents on the counter.
3. Durability
After you prepare the meal, cook, and serve, Thanksgiving night often includes a lot of cleaning. A quartz countertop includes a lot of protection and durability. Turkey oils, spilled drinks, and gravy will not stain the quartz. The quartz is non-porous, so liquids will not soak into the counters and cause damage.
The durability also applies to cleaning products. Before you prepare the meal, you can clean the countertops using cleaning sprays, scrubbers, and disinfectants without any damage or color changes on the quartz. After you serve the meal, you can use the same cleaners to wipe down the counters and get everything clean again.
4. Thanksgiving Pictures
The rise of social media has led to more people sharing photos of Thanksgiving creations. As you plan out pictures of turkeys and Thanksgiving creations, you can use a quartz countertop as an ideal backdrop. The beauty of quartz means you can find different patterns and designs for pictures you take, especially overhead shots.
The look of quartz can increase the elegance of pictures and become your go-to location for taking pictures. The easy cleaning process for a quartz countertop allows you to remove distractions and keep the background clear.
Quartz installations often include a seamless installation so you do not need to worry about counter lines creating a distraction in the photos. The whole counter appears as one smooth piece of stone.
