From what has been discussed above, quartz countertops provide a greater range of features and advantages than granite countertops. They are less porous and less vulnerable to staining and contamination due to growth of bacteria than granite countertops. Quartz countertops also come in uniform color surfaces which is one thing you will not have in granite countertops. However, as with everything in the market where quality is directly linked to cost, installing quartz countertops comes at a higher price. Personal preference will also play a major role in your decision though. If your intention is to add value to your kitchen furniture, granite countertops will be the ideal choice. Once you have made your choice between granite vs quartz countertops, it will be important to have it professionally installed. The overall beauty and durability of each type of countertop however depends on how much care and maintenance you give to your countertop.
