Considerations for Using Blue Ridge Quartz

While a fantastic choice for many applications, consider these factors before selecting Blue Ridge Quartz:

• Cost: Quartz, including Blue Ridge Quartz, is generally more expensive than materials like laminate or tile. However, its longevity and low maintenance often make it a worthwhile investment.
• Sunlight Exposure: Prolonged, direct sunlight can cause fading or discolouration in some quartz varieties. If this is a concern, consider window placement.
• Seamless Appearance: While quartz offers minimal seams compared to some natural stones, they may still be visible, especially in large installations.
• Professional Installation: Due to the weight and precision required, professional fabrication and installation of Blue Ridge Quartz countertops is highly recommended.
• Variation: As a natural material, each slab of Blue Ridge Quartz is unique. Viewing samples or the actual slab before finalising your selection is important.

Care and Maintenance

Blue Ridge Quartz is remarkably low-maintenance, ensuring its beauty for years. Follow these simple tips:

• Everyday Cleaning: Wipe up spills promptly with a soft cloth and warm, soapy water. Avoid abrasive cleaners or scrubbers.
• Stubborn Stains: Use a non-bleach surface cleaner designed for quartz for dried-on messes. A gentle glass cleaner may also work.
• Heat Protection: While heat-resistant, always use trivets or heat pads under hot pots and pans to protect your quartz.
• Avoid Harsh Chemicals: Never use bleach, oven cleaners, or highly acidic or alkaline products on your Blue Ridge Quartz.
• No Sealing Required: Blue Ridge Quartz’s non-porous nature means you won’t need to seal or wax your countertops.
