Countertops

Granite

Granite is the easiest countertop on the eye. Since it is a natural stone, no one is going to have the same countertop that you do. Granite is heavy in what is called ‘movement’. Movement is used to describe the shift in color throughout the countertop. Since it is a natural stone, no countertop is going to have a uniform color. Granite is extremely scratch resistant as well as impervious to water and heat. If not abused, granite countertops can keep their beautiful luster forever. Granite must be professionally installed.

Quartz

Quartz can be one of the most advantageous countertop choices. It is simply a man-made non-porous material, made from a mixture made of 93% quartz and 7% bonding agents. There are a wide variety of reasons to choose quartz. Aside from the vas amounts of colors and appearances to choose from, there are a great amount of safety advantages when it comes to quartz. Quartz is mold & mildew resistant and extremely hygienic, which makes it one of the most food safe choices. There are seems, although darker colors seem to hide them much better.

Appearance is another advantage of quartz. It has the ability to be a more uniform countertop then granite. The stone in the showroom will look very much like what you will end up having in your kitchen. It is very durable but not indestructible. It must be professionally installed and as it can be much heavier than granite.
