Quartz Countertop FAQs
Are quartz countertops more expensive than granite?
Quartz and granite countertops are both generally in the same price range. Since quartz and granite are both extremely durable and made from similar materials, with one being naturally occurring and the other manufactured, the square footage pricing is usually similar.
Are quartz countertops better quality than granite?
Granite and quartz are both great quality countertops that can last for decades. Since granite is a naturally occurring stone, that means the consistency can vary. Natural quartz rock is found throughout granite slabs which is one of the strongest materials in granite. However, since it’s not evenly distributed, this may cause some weak points in the stone. The likelihood of granite breaking or getting damaged is still very minimal, and both materials remain great quality countertops.
Is quartz a good option for countertops?
Quartz is a great countertop option for many reasons. Most homeowners are looking for a high-quality work surface that can handle day-to-day life, is easy to clean and doesn’t require much maintenance. Quartz countertops have all of these features and more. Not only does quartz take the work out of maintaining countertops, but it’s easier than ever to find designs that imitate the beauty of natural stone.
Can you put a hot pan on quartz countertops?
It’s not recommended to put hot pans on quartz countertops. Although they are known to be heat resistant, any type of stone countertop, whether natural or manufactured, can suffer from thermal shock. Since natural and manufactured stones hold cooler temperatures, the drastic difference between hot and cold can cause cracking in the stone top.
What lasts longer, granite or quartz countertops?
Granite and quartz countertops are both very durable and long lasting. Since granite is a natural stone, it can have pits, fissures, and weak points, however it’s not commonly broken unless the countertop is improperly supported or being misused. Quartz countertops are generally strong throughout the surface because natural quartz rock is evenly distributed within the resin. If both countertops are cleaned and maintained as recommended, they should both last for years.
