Nine Reasons Why You Should Choose Quartz Vs. Granite
We offer nine reasons why you should seriously consider quartz vs. granite as your top choice.
1. Cost. With quartz, you don't have to compromise a great look for an affordable price.
2. Appearance. The way quartz slabs are produced allows the manufacturer to ensure that the slab is exactly the color, texture and pattern that you want.
3. Strength. Quartz counters are made by combining 93% natural quartz stone with 7% resin binder and some colorant. This creates an extremely hard stone stronger than granite or marble.
4. Non-porous. Granite and marble are both porous stones with tiny capillary channels between the minerals. Quartz has no channels and it never requires sealing.
5. Hygienic. Quartz counters are manufactured to be hygienic and to reduce the opportunity for bacteria to grow.
6. Maintenance. Unlike granite and marble, quartz does not require sealing or other routine maintenance to maintain its beauty and functionality.
7. Color consistency. Quartz is manufactured in many colors, and the color is consistent throughout the entire slab.
8. Cleaning. With quartz, cleaning the counter is easy. You don't have to use special bacteria-preventing soaps.
9. Scratches. Quartz, because of its design and manufacturing process, is a durable and scratch resistant product.
