Granite vs. Quartz Counter-tops: Pros and Cons

When deciding on new countertops, you will want to take several things into consideration. Do you go with granite? Or should you stick with Quartz Countertops; durable and easy to care for? Well, have no fear, because we’re laying out the pros and cons. You will be able to figure out what’s important to you and your kitchen, and then figure out which choices fit the bill best!

Quartz Countertops

Pro Tip: Because Quartz is man-made and consistent throughout, a 3" x 5" sample in the home against the space makes choosing very efficient, as opposed to Granite which requires a much more substantive look because of its movement and inconsistency.

Beauty and durability come together nicely within a quartz countertop. Trendy, stylish and incredibly versatile, going the man-made route has a lot of benefits and some challenges too. There’s a certain amount of luxury that one feels when they add quartz countertops throughout their kitchen. So let's discover the why – and why not – to go this route when it comes to your renovation!

Pro:
Manufactured,  as mentioned before, this is a man-made product, so there’s a wider range of colors available than when going with a natural material like Granite or Marble. You’ll get your pick of the litter, essentially. Also, quartz countertops are waterproof and can be used with an under-mounted sink!


Pro:
Non-Porous, because it is a non-porous material you won’t have to worry about re-sealing the tops! The resin binds all of the crystals together making it a zero pour zone and exceptionally sanitary – which is absolutely perfect for the kitchen.

Con:
Not As Heat-Resistant, be careful with the hot pots and pans! Quartz won’t ever be as heat resistant as granite or other natural materials. Don’t just throw your hot pots and pans on the surface on these countertops because it can and will cause damage! A sudden change in temperature could cause your quartz to crack or even melt if it gets too hot.

Pro:
Quartz won’t harbor bacteria or viruses in its hard-to-clean pours because it doesn’t have any! Just clean the tops and be confident in it. You won’t find extra cracks or crevices to clean here, so there aren’t any germs settling in to areas that you can’t reach or clean.


Pro:
Durability, because this is manufactured material, the durability is top notch like that of concrete and rivals granite. Of course, it’s not completely indestructible but will be very hard to use and abuse with normal, everyday wear. If you want to make a good comparison though, we all know how strong diamond is, quartz is just as hard.




Granite Countertops
Pro Tip: Granite has movement, and the colors are more personal, than quartz.  Go ahead, look around, you're welcomed to find your granite on your own, even purchase it, we don't mind. After you've found your perfect granite, submit your project and We'll even come and pick it up for ya, and install it!

Naturally-made countertops are extremely popular, making granite one of the most trendy of choices. But before you dive into your purchase be sure that you’re doing your homework. Know the ins and outs of what make granite such a great choice for your kitchen and why you may want to stray away based on your personal needs.


Pro:
Natural granite is 100% nature made, and quarried naturally. If you’re looking for organic materials then this is the first choice! 



Pro:
Durability, just like quartz though, granite is also extremely durable. It can last a lifetime when taken care of correctly – of course, keep in mind, that it isn’t unbreakable. As long as you aren’t consistently banging extremely heavy objects on top of the counters, your granite will last as long as the house does (if not longer). Along with its durable nature, it can withstand the heat! Hot pots and pans will generally not burn or scorch the granite.


Con:
Not uniform, because of its 100% natural quality, you will never get a completely uniform appearance. It was designed by nature so no two pieces will ever be the same – but remember, you get to choose your slabs so choose wisely.



Pro:
One-of-a-Kind, we may have written about how its non-uniform appearance can be a con but some of us see it has a huge pro! We love how eclectic and unique each and every piece will be. Granite countertops will not only give your kitchen, but your entire home a one-of-a-kind appearance.



Con:
Sealing, granite does have pours and will need to be sealed year-after-year. And because of these pours you’ll need to pay attention to the possibility of staining and bacteria buildup. But as long as you keep the surfaces sealed, you shouldn't have to worry about all of the germs. Keep in mind that lighter granite requires more attention when it comes to the sealing process though.



Pro:
Variety, although, quartz and other man-made materials will always have a larger variety when it comes to color (and patterns), you’d be surprised what you have to choose from with granite! Sometimes there can be around 20 choices to think about with different mineral contents and striations. You also get to choose your edges as well – fortunately you can add some personalization here as well with both beveled edges or even going with some bull-nose ends.
