In fact, it is due to this that major other problems that arise in a kitchen are checked. It doesn’t allow water and colored products to penetrate inside the material. This ensures that bacterial and microbial contamination does not occur, which keeps the space hygienic and increases the material’s life stage.

Kitchen Countertops- Finishing of Stones

Polished Finish:

The visible color strikes are well highlighted in this category giving the countertops a glossy surface and improving their reflecting capacity by making them appear vibrant. 

Honed Finish:

This kind of finish creates the material to appear less shiny and non-reflective. This can be picked up by those homeowners whose kitchens are already based on bright indoor lighting. Another advantage of this is, that the matted nature allows the fingerprints and smudges arising from regular touches to be hidden unlike in a polished finish. 

Worktop Thickness

Irrespective of the finishes and stone colours, quartz kitchen worktops can be available in different thicknesses; the popular ones are 20mm quartz worktop and 30mm kitchen countertops.
