• Advantages of Quartz Countertops Over Granite

• Picking the right material for your counters can
  be a daunting task. There are countless options,
  each with their own advantages and disadvantages.
  Like every home improvement project, it
  ultimately comes down to personal preference and
  budget. But with so many options to wade through,
  it can be challenging to know where to start.
• Here are some advantages that quartz has over
  granite.

1. Its more uniform

• Unlike granite, quartz can be manufactured to
  have a uniform appearance. If you want your
  countertops to have an even and consistent
  appearance, this is a clear advantage for quartz.

2. Repairs are easier

• Because of the uniformity, repairs are much
  easier. While its incredibly unlikely for a
  quartz counter to chip, if it does, replacing a
  broken piece is simple. With a granite
  countertop, you could have a tough time matching
  colors or patterns to make repairs.

3. Theres a wide range of colors

• On the topic of colors, you can find quartz
  counters in virtually any color youd like. So no
  matter what your roof and house color
  combinations are, youll be able to find a quartz
  countertop to match your aesthetic.

4. It requires less maintenance

• Granite has to be resealed annually. Its also
  vital to clean granite counters with a mild
  cleanser every day to avoid staining and to
  promote longevity. Quartz, on the other hand,
  doesnt have to be sealed and doesnt require any
  special care.

5. It's more durable

• While both materials are durable, quartz is
  harder than granite, and its nearly
  indestructible.

6. Its antibacterial

• Because quartz isnt porous, it resists bacteria.
  Granite, on the other hand, is porous and must be
  resealed and regularly cleaned to avoid bacteria
  build-up. Quartzs non-porous nature makes it an
  ideal countertop choice for both the kitchen and
  the bathroom.

7. It can mimic any material

• Quartz comes in a wide variety of colors. It can
  mimic the look of other stones, too. So, if you
  love the look of granite or marble, but prefer
  the quartz advantages, you can get both with
  quartz. You can even make your quartz counters
  look like white solid surface countertops, except
  unlike Corian, quartz has a depth and complexity
  to its appearance that solid surface cant mimic.
