Where And What Quartz Countertops Could We Use?
20mm or 30mm
Many homeowners prefer a 20mm worktop over a 30mm worktop. That's because the thickness of 20mm worktops could be altered and applied for worktops and other areas such as upstands, splashbacks, and windowsills.
You don't need to reduce your 30mm quartz worktop to 20mm, which is time-consuming and labour-intensive. However, a 30mm thickness for kitchen countertops is ideal should you prefer a thicker and more luxurious look.
However, a 20mm quartz countertop thickness could be applied for splashbacks and installations. This is because splashbacks and other appliances in your home appear better with a 20mm thickness than a 30mm thickness.
If you use the same 30mm thickness for upstands, splashbacks, and worktops, your interior's overall visual appeal would bow out. Therefore, you must be clear which type of stone to use for which application; that would be prudent.

Are Quartz Worktops Good?
Quartz worktops are non-porous, durable, heat and scratch resistant, and do not require sealing, which renders them low in maintenance. Quartz has become the kitchen worktop favourite of many homeowners due to its longevity and aesthetics.
Can Quartz Be Used Outside?
Quartz withstands most weather factors, such as rain, snow, or humidity. Most weather conditions do not discolour Quartz.
Quartz is an excellent material for outdoor surfaces since it is very easy to clean. All grease from the grill could easily be cleaned with soap and water. Even the most tenacious fluids, such as coffee and wine, wouldn’t discolour Quartz. It works well as an outside cooking surface where there sure would be plenty of spillages.
Application, And Why Quartz Is Essential?
While 30mm Quartz Worktops are ideal for kitchen and bathroom worktops and flooring in residential and commercial areas, 20mm thick Quartz could be used for kitchen islands, splashbacks, upstands, and windowsills.
You could customise 20mm quartz worktops for different applications since they are lighter than 30mm quartz slabs. If you want to put Quartz on your kitchen worktops, you would do well with the 30mm thickness for a beautiful and lavish look. Choose 20mm worktops for splashbacks, wall cladding, and other places for a clean yet elegant appearance.

Advantages Of 30mm Quartz For Kitchen
Would it be advisable to always have a 30mm worktop in your kitchen? Yes, that is always the better option. Hobs of varying depths galore in many modern kitchen interiors these days. In most circumstances, a 20mm worktop won’t be a good idea because it is unsuitable for the same design. With a 20mm worktop, opening a draw of the cabinets beneath becomes hard. So, sticking to a thickness of around 30 mm would be ideal.
Induction hobs have become popular due to their compact appearance and user friendliness. Due to their induction coils at the bottom, these hobs create a minimalist look in any kitchen. It's essential to know the thickness of an induction hob before buying one. A 30mm quartz surface is a better choice for placing even an oven under the stove.
Finally, you need to decide which measurement you need for your kitchen depending on your budget and size. Although we can safely conclude that 20mm and 30mm quartz are suitable for kitchen worktops, the ball is on your court whether you go for the 20 mm granite, the question whose answer solely rests on you.
