Hello Shilpi,

If you mean stains due to vide variety of spices then Quartz does a good job against stains. It is strong, heavy and scratch resistant as well.

However , if your concern is with respect to heat and sunlight then you may want to rethink as sunlight makes Quartz loose color and so would an over exposure to boiling hot pans.

Take good care and they would last for ages.

Thanks.

Hi.. Won't be recommending Quartz for Indian Kitchens.

Granite is the best option for Indian Kitchens

@ prodigy design why so?

Not very good in terms of exposure to hot pains and utensils.

Also a bit expensive than granite.

We have a quartz counter top at home and in the last five years it has not stained or discoloured. We wanted a lighter counter-top and granite was not an option. Quartz is good and way cheaper that Corean and more durable than marble which would have been the other options for lighter shades...

If you are looking for fancy kitchen with good looks, go for good quality Quartz like AGL or Kalinga Quartz. It's a good alternate to granite but also is costlier. There is some negative reviews of Quartz/Corian tops due to low quality and unknown brands providing at cheap price. if you have budget constraint, then can opt of Granite.

it's a great option where little care is good to last. staining is only negative here which can be taken care.
