The Difference Between
Quartz Countertops and Printed Quartz Countertops
Quartz countertops and printed quartz countertops are popular for kitchens and bathrooms. They differ in composition, appearance, and how they are made.
Composition:
Quartz Countertops: This mix forms a strong, non-porous surface. It resists both stains and scratches.
Printed Quartz Countertops: These surfaces are made from a quartz and resin mix. They also have a printed design or pattern on top. The design uses advanced printing technology. This allows for a wide range of colors and patterns. They can even mimic natural stones like marble or granite.
​
Appearance:
Quartz Countertops: They often appear uniform, but they feature natural color and texture variations. The look can vary from solid colors to speckled patterns. This depends on the quartz used and how it is made.
Printed Quartz Countertops: These countertops are versatile. They can display detailed patterns, bright colors, and even photos. This lets you customize surfaces to look like natural stone or unique art designs.
​
Durability:
Both countertop types are non-porous and very durable. This makes them resistant to stains and scratches. The durability of printed quartz depends on the print quality and materials used. So, it's important to choose high-quality products.
​
Maintenance:
Both quartz and printed quartz countertops are relatively easy to maintain. They need regular cleaning with mild soap and water. Unlike natural stones, they do not require sealing.
​
Cost:
Printed quartz countertops usually cost more than standard quartz. This is because they involve extra printing and complex designs.
​
​
In summary, the main difference between quartz countertops and printed quartz countertops is their look and how they are made. Both options are durable and low-maintenance. However, printed quartz offers more design flexibility. This allows for a more customized and unique appearance.
