What is Quartz?

Quartz is one of the toughest materials on the planet and as such has earned a reputation for being a strong and durable surface material.

They are created in factories from over 90% of crushed quartz, with pigments and binding agents like polyester resins making up the remaining 6-10%. This distinguishes it from stone.

How are Wood Countertops made?

Wood gives you the opportunity to be creative and truly distinct through its different options for color, grain, hardness, and finish. Each impressive creation starts with the basic choice, the wood species.

Wood species

The type of wood used for the construction of the countertop lends a lot of characteristics to the finished product. This includes the visual appearance, material strength, durability, and resistance. 

 

Each tree is unique whether it’s a local tree or an exotic one. Typical wood species used for countertops are mahogany, oak, hickory, Brazilian cherry, maple, walnut, birch, mesquite, bamboo, and ash.

Lamination style

The overarching look of the countertop is dependent on the method of lamination. The way each strip is joined gives the countertop a distinct appearance while also contributing to the structural strength of the design. The three typical lamination styles are the edge grain, the end grain, and the flat grain.


  • Edge grain
  • End grain
  • Face grain

 

Benefits

Because of their many attractive features, wood countertops are becoming an increasingly popular choice for homes. Aside from their natural beauty, there are other benefits to selecting this surface material over others.

Affordable

Wood is really economical since it’s easily accessible because it is abundant in nature and easy to replace. Wood reshapes easily and may be altered into the required state when combined with good workability. This greatly lowers the price point of wood compared to the other alternatives of stone.

Softer, gentler surface

The surface of the wood can be strong and resistant to the force that is applied to it. However, the interactions of hard materials with the wood surface are significantly gentler in terms of feeling and sound.

 

When a plate is set down, there is barely a clatter, and the softer surface provides less feedback, making it less likely to break precious glass or ceramicware.

Easy repair options

Wood countertops are incredibly good at bearing the stress of use and age. Even after several years of use, the surface’s original beautiful look can be revived with a little elbow grease. The wooden surface can be easily refinished to remove knife marks, scratches, and scuffs.

Regardless of light or heavy use, wooden countertops can bear the test of time.
