Quartz or Granite – Which Kitchen Countertop You Should Go With

 

While renovating your kitchen, you will have several fun decisions to make, including selecting the ideal countertop to meet your aesthetic and functional needs. Your kitchen countertop is an important element of your design. It is a visual focal point that can add depth & interest to your design, but it also is a major functional element of your kitchen.

If you are searching for a countertop that’s beautiful and durable, quartz or granite are both great choices. In fact, among designers and homeowners, granite has been coming in as the #1 option in kitchen countertops for years, with quartz close behind. However, of late quartz has taken granite as #1 option among homeowners.

While there’re many dissimilarities between these materials, the basic one is that granite is a natural, mined material, cut by stoneworkers from large deposits and further cut and processed into slabs. On the other hand, quartz, is a man-made product consisting of 92-94 percent crushed rock mixed with a resin that’s then poured into slabs.

So, which is ideal for your kitchen countertop? Both materials have their advantages and disadvantages. The secret is to comprehend the individualities of each so you can better determine which material best fulfil your personal requirements.
