Quartz: the Biggest Trend in Countertops for 2019

What will be the biggest trend in countertops for 2019 and likely years to come? The answer: quartz. Quartz countertops were originally introduced years ago as a high-end alternative to granite. But quartz has come a long way over the years and offers a wide variety of styles homeowners love.

At Minneapolis Granite we specialize in quartz countertops for Eagan and the surrounding areas, and we would like to discuss a few more of its many benefits and why we believe it will be one of the biggest trends in countertops this year.

 One of the biggest trending finishes in quartz countertops right now is matte or ‘honed’ finishes. Honed finish is a matte finish with little to no shine. In 2019, quartz manufacturers will continue to impress with manufacturing improvements such as these as well as trending designs that will keep this countertop material at the top of the list. Not just for this year, but for quite some time to come.

Quartz countertops are great because they come in a multitude of styles including some that come with swirls and unique patterns that make them almost indistinguishable from the natural stone varieties. Since they come in so many colors and patterns, it is easy to find the quartz countertops to match your unique home. Quartz fits easily with a variety of design styles from the classic cottage kitchen to sleek, modern and industrial design.

Add to that the fact that quartz is extremely strong and you can see why this low maintenance material is not going anywhere soon as the countertop material of choice for many homeowners. Quartz countertops are also extremely low maintenance. Quartz a very hard material that’s both stain and scratch resistant. Stains, mold and odor-causing bacteria can’t penetrate quartz’s surface due to its non-porous nature, making it perfect for the kitchen, bathroom and other rooms in the home.

Quartz countertops are also comparable to granite and other natural stone in price. And, like their natural counterparts, they won’t sacrifice on style. If your home is in need of a lot of countertop space, quartz just might be the material for you this year.
