Granite Counters Vs Quartz.. Which One Should I choose?

Granite Vs Quartz Kitchen Counters: Which one should I choose?

Whether you’re remodeling or installing new kitchen countertops, the first question on most property owners minds is granite versus quartz. Some people swear by the one of a kind beauty of natural granite stone, while others say granite counters stain and need maintenance like sealing. Others love quartz countertops because they’re engineered stone that avoids the problems of granite and costs less. The good news is that you don’t have to choose your kitchen countertops alone. Remodeling professionals can help you weigh these pros and cons, but before you call the experts, let’s compare quartz and granite countertops.

Things to Love About Granite Countertops

Natural granite is a classic high end kitchen countertop material that’s been in use forever, and many property owners love the luxury style of granite in their homes and businesses. Though granite counters may need sealing and some maintenance, they are naturally water and heat resistant, as well as being available in a dizzying array of colors and finishes.

Advantages of Quartz Countertops

Unlike granite counters, which are cut from a slab of natural stone, many quartz kitchen countertops are actually made from finely ground natural quartz mixed with man made polymers. This means that quartz counters are fabricated to order, which is a huge advantage for those who want complicated curves or luxury counter edging. Quartz countertops are also non-porous, meaning that there’s no tiny holes for moisture or stains to penetrate and there’s no need to regularly seal your counters.
