Both quartz and granite offer durability for kitchen countertops. Quartz is an engineered material that is non-porous and requires no sealing, resisting stains effectively. Granite is a natural stone with unique patterns, but it needs periodic sealing to prevent staining, a factor to consider in a busy household.
Granite countertops are porous, meaning they can absorb liquids if not properly sealed. This can lead to stubborn stains that are difficult to remediate. Granite edges are also susceptible to chipping or cracking from impact, a potential concern in active kitchens.
The material commonly referred to as 'fake granite' is typically quartz. Quartz countertops are manufactured by combining natural quartz crystals with resins and pigments. This process results in a consistent appearance and a non-porous surface that resembles natural stone.
The cost of a 10 ft piece of granite countertop depends heavily on the specific granite type, its origin, and the necessary fabrication. Factors such as the chosen edge profile, countertop thickness, and installation complexity all contribute to the final amount. We offer a free phone quote to detail these project-specific costs.
