Granite
Granite is a beautiful natural stone that lasts for decades. Granite is available in many colors and textures. Granite has been used for countertops over the years. Granite is durable, easy-to-clean and maintain and has a unique look. Granite is rated the best kitchen countertop material by leading consumer magazines.
Marble has been used for centuries in a variety of applications, including floors, walls, showers and countertops. Marble is a soft rock and can be etched and stained. Although sealers can help to prevent this, marble will naturally develop a patina. Although it is still stunning, it doesn’t remain the same bright white as it was when it was purchased. Marble is used often for countertops in homes that bake or make candy. It stays cool to the touch.
Quartz is a manufactured product made by combining the crushed mineral quartz with a resin. It doesn’t need a sealer, and it is stain-proof. Quartz is becoming more popular in modern designs. There are hundreds of colors and many brands to choose from. Quartz is manufactured so that it has a consistent appearance across a slab. Quartz is very durable and low-maintenance.
Quartzite is still a new term in this area. Quartzite looks like a mixture of granite and marble, but it’s actually harder than granite. Quartzite is often available in lighter colors and dramatic veining. This makes it a great choice for those who love marble but don’t like the maintenance. Quartzite countertops can be maintained and taken care of in the same way as natural stones.
