Quartz is engineered for consistency and offers excellent resistance to stains and scratches, making it a low-maintenance choice. Granite is a natural stone with unique patterns and character, but it requires periodic sealing to prevent staining. Both are durable surface options.
Granite is porous and needs to be sealed regularly to protect against spills and stains. Its natural composition means each slab is unique, so the final look may differ from samples. The weight of granite also requires strong cabinet foundations.
