Trying to choose between quartz or granite for your kitchen countertops?
There are several factors that you should look into before making a decision.
For starters; are you looking for a durable material? What is your budget? What kind of use will you give it? These are questions that you should be able to answer to filter down to one material.
There are several differences between quartz and granite countertops.
These are both great materials to work with and they look great with the overall kitchenambiance. But, they have key characteristics that can make you choose one material over the other.
For example, quartz is a material that is flexible and stain-resistant. It is also non-porous but seams tend to stand out on solid colors overall.
Quartz is strong and is also very heavy.
On the other hand, granite itself is unique since each slab is the only one in its kind. It is a 100% natural material that also happens to be strong yet not indestructible. Granite happens to be the popular choice among homeowners, designers, and architects. It is resistant to abrasions and heat, recyclable and considered a green material (cue a smile from mother nature.) It is easy to maintain and gives your kitchen an exclusive look!
Unfortunately, one of the downsides to granite, happens to be the color inconsistency precisely because no two stones are the same and it is also a porous material which means that it needs to be sealed properly.
So there you have it. A few bits and pieces of useful information that will just take you that much closer to a final decision.
