Granite and marble are often the go to choice for a high-end countertop, but Quartz is passing out the former in popularity, and with good reason.

Durability

  • Granite and marble are beautiful but fragile! Quartz however, is naturally stain repellent and impervious to acidic foods.
  • It's also resistant to scratches and chips which means they don't succumb to normal wear and tear.
  • Quartz doesn't require sealing, as opposed to granite and marble which (to keep them in best nick!) require sealing every 12 months.

Style

  • The biggest reason for quartz's popularity is most likely due to the advances in the technology used to fabricate the stone. 
  • Patterns have become less uniform and more organic in appearance and thus more like natural stone. 
  • There's also a huge range of colours to choose from, so whatever style of kitchen you go for: modern, contemporary, traditional or otherwise, you'll find something to suit your decor.
