Quartz Countertops vs Granite

CHOOSING THE MATERIAL FOR YOUR COUNTERTOP

Choosing quartz or granite for your kitchen countertop is a safe option. These materials not only bring life to your home, but they also offer numerous other advantages. Quartz countertops are easy to maintain, while granite requires more attention. Both quartz and granite will not disappoint you in terms of aesthetics and style.

Granite is a very hard and 100% natural stone. It is extracted from quarries worldwide, cut to a normal size, and then polished to a fine finish.

Granite is available in many different colors and patterns due to its formation (cooling and solidifying of molten materials). Whether you’re looking for a subtle complement to your kitchen or a striking slab with unique mineral inclusions, there’s an almost limitless selection, and no granite countertop is the same.

Quartz is slightly different in that it’s not 100% natural. Instead, countertops are made using 90% crushed natural quartz and 10% polymer resins.
One of the main reasons quartz has exploded in popularity is due to its appearance. Quartz has the look of stone while allowing homeowners to customize the design. While granite offers many options in terms of appearance, you may need to search for the right piece that matches your color scheme. With quartz, the selection process is much easier.
