Quartz Benefits
Durability
Quartz being one of the hardest minerals that exists. This means high quartz containing surfaces are highly durable. This is a reason quartz is used in floor tiles.
Non-Porous
Quartz is a non-porous material meaning the surface does not have tiny holes or openings into which germs/bacteria/liquid can go. Without pores, liquid cannot penetrate into the material and germs/bacteria cannot have a place to exist and will be removed by simple surface wiping. Quartz surfaces are thus much more hygienic than porous materials.
Stain Resistant
Without pores, liquid cannot penetrate into the Quartz material and thus stains cannot develop.
Scratch Resistant
Like granite, quartz has a very durable surface that is scratch resistant. This makes it ideal for use in kitchens where sharp instruments are frequently used. Despite this, it is recommended to minimize the amount of cutting done on quartz countertops. This will, over time, blunt sharp objects and leave metal residue behind. Cutting blocks are available if a countertop matching block is needed.
Invisible Joints
Due to the consistency of colour and pattern, joints are even more unnoticeable than those in the natural unique pattern of natural stone.
Heat Resistant
As quartz is heat-resistant, it is again, suitable for use in kitchens where hot instruments are commonly used.
Eco-Friendly
Quartz is not going to wear out and can last a lifetime. Additionally, as it uses by-products of other stone product materials, it is recycling of waste material and thus an eco-friendly product.
Easy Maintenance
With no staining and no need to re-seal, quartz is easy to maintain by simply cleaning it with mild soap.
Variation in Colour
Using modern techniques in fabrication and including new materials in the composition, quartz allows a much wider variety of colours/finish effects than materials like granite which relies on natural pattern elements.
Quartz Things To Consider

Does granite vary in colour compared to the sample I see in your showroom or online?
