Granite and quartz are both popular and very durable choices for kitchen and bathroom countertops, and although they are similar, they are not the same. This blog post from the team at Top It Off, Inc. will describe the differences, however minimal.
We will look at granite first. It is very durable and able to withstand the rigors of a modern family kitchen or bathroom. From an appearance standpoint, granite comes in a wide variety of colors and patterns, making it very desirable.
Quartz countertops in Pittsburgh are not very porous, so there is less chance of moisture or food particles being trapped in the material itself. From a durability standpoint, quartz is only second to diamond when it comes to scratch resistance. Also, quartz never needs sealing to protect it from stains and spills.
Either one is an ideal addition to any home or business, as evidenced by the fact of their popularity and use throughout a range of properties. Granite is slightly more budget-friendly than quartz, but quartz countertops are a good choice for areas that will receive heavy use, such as in a commercial setting.
