Frequently Asked Questions

What is the difference between Granite & Quartz?

Granite is a 100% natural stone, cut directly from the earth and polished into slabs. Each piece is one of a kind, featuring unique color variations, veining, and patterns created by nature over millions of years.

​

Key Features of Granite:

  • Completely Natural: No two slabs are alike — your countertop will be truly unique.

  • Heat Resistant: Can handle hot pots and pans (though trivets are still recommended).

  • Durable and Long-Lasting: Resists scratching and stands up well to everyday use.

  • Adds Home Value: Natural stone is often seen as a luxury material that boosts resale appeal.

  • The color and pattern come from nature, so if you need multiple slabs, you should expect some variation.

​

Quartz are man-made surfaces that combine roughly 90–95% crushed natural quartz stone with resins, pigments, and other materials. This gives a non-porous, durable surface with consistent color and pattern.

​

Key Benefits of Quartz:

  • No sealing required — ever. Quartz is non-porous, so it never needs sealing.

  • Because it’s engineered, quartz offers many options — from solid colors to designs that mimic marble or granite.

  • Highly Durable: Resistant to scratches, chips, and cracks under normal use.
