Things to Know Before Making Choice between Quartz and Granite:
 

– All those going to set up the kitchen and bathrooms or renovating the same must have a specific budget before going to buy the countertops.

– Quartz is normally crafted with a controlled appearance and so can come in the exact colour, texture and pattern that you want. On part of granite, some manufacturers commercially dye it just to boost the sales, so be sure about the colour and texture.

– Quartz combines 93% natural quartz stone with 7% resin binder and some colourant making it the hardest material, so if you are looking for durability, here is your answer.

– For countertops that have contact with wine, should ideally go for Quartz as it doesn’t absorb and hence no chances of staining, while granite will absorb the spilled vine and will get stain for sure.

– Whether it is Granite or marble, it will need sealing, while Quartz does not need sealing or other routine maintenance for keeping up the beauty and attractiveness, so you save lot of maintenance costs as well.

Again the choice is yours. Let it be Quartz or Granite, decision is totally dependent on requirements and budget. Although Quartz may be a good option for most of the buyers, still some people care more about delicacy, exclusiveness and high standards of luxury which may be met only by granite!
