Granite is still a popular choice for natural stone users, due to its durability and resistance to scratching, staining, and etching. Granite can take a higher heat than other natural stone, but still requires a sealant because there are varying levels of absorbency.
Prized for its unparalleled aesthetic beauty—to the point that many overlook its ability to scratch, stain, and etch. However, by simply using cutting boards and proper sealant, these issues can be minimized.
Quartz is a man-made slab created with ground quartz bound with polymers. More predictable in color and pattern, these countertops are non-porous and do not require the maintenance that natural stone requires. They are incredibly stain resistant and durable; susceptible only to extreme heat.
Rarer and harder to mine than Granite, Quartzite offers the more feathery veins reminiscent of Marble, but is harder and less porous. Often requiring a specialized sealant, Quartzite make a beautiful countertop.
