Are Quartz Countertops Better Than Granite?

Quartz countertops are typically more desired over granite due to their durability, low maintenance, and even colour. While both are excellent materials, quartz is more resistant to stains and does not require sealing, which means it is more appealing to homeowners who desire maintenance-free options. However, granite does have a unique, natural look that some homeowners desire.

Key Differences Between Quartz and Granite

Durability

Quartz is a common non-porous mineral that resists stains and scratches extremely well. Granite is a natural stone and a bit more prone to chips and cracks.

Maintenance

Quartz requires minimal maintenance, just periodic cleaning with soap and water. Granite must be sealed periodically against stains and bacteria growth.

Appearance

Quartz has an even appearance with a huge selection of colours and patterns. Granite has a more natural, one-of-a-kind appearance with irregular veining and coloration.

Cost

The two are equal in cost, but premium granite might be more expensive due to the fact that it naturally occurs less.

Which Option Should You Get?

If you want a low-maintenance, modern, extremely long-lasting countertop, quartz would be the way to go. If you want the natural appearance of original patterns, then granite would be ideal.

high quality standard

Our family recently had the privilege of working with Rose Building Group for a kitchen/bathroom/laundry renovation and couldn’t be more satisfied with both the process and the final product. The RGB team and their trade specialists are exceptionally talented at their crafts and very conscientious. The project was completed efficiently, to a high quality standard and the entire team was an absolute pleasure to work with. Special shout out to Neil for being such a first-class professional and always leaving us feeling like our home was in the best of hands. We are so grateful we found RGB and can’t recommend them enough.

nothing but great things to say

Matthew, Settle and entire team were so professional and Alisha, the selections coordinator, was especially helpful and went out of her way to help with some of the finishing choices.

Other than a few things that were delayed beyond their control, this renovation was completed in a very timely manner and is absolutely beautiful. They made our vision come to fruition and we hope to use them again when we are ready to renovate our main bathroom. They made the process of doing a major renovation relatively low stress and I would highly recommend them to anyone looking to do a major renovation.

Great job RBG- you were all awesome!

We Couldn’t Be Happier with Our Renovation!

It is a pleasure to offer a review of the Rose Building Group and Matthew Rose upon the completion of our whole home renovation in the fall of 2020. Despite many challenging circumstances that were not of his making Matthew remained focused, solution oriented and delivered a superior result on time. He maintained open, honest, clear and responsive communication and made himself available to answer any questions. The team from RBG was skilled, hardworking, polite and respectful. Similarly, the skilled trades that were subcontracted by Matthew were careful, thorough and demonstrated excellent quality work.

Our home is where we live out the heart of our family and we are grateful for all that Matthew and his team accomplished for us. Thank you!
