When you’re remodeling a bathroom or kitchen, you have a lot of choices to make. One of the most challenging is the type of countertops you’ll select. In addition to weighing options based on budget, you’ll also want to consider your lifestyle and how the countertops will be used. For example, do you entertain a lot (wine spills can spell disaster for some materials)? Are you a home chef that needs countertops that can withstand high temperatures? Or is the aesthetic look of the countertops your primary concern? For many it comes down to making the choice between quartz vs. granite countertops. Picking out the right countertop is an important decision because – if you change your mind later – swapping out your countertops isn’t quite as easy as, say, changing out the paint color on the cabinets.
Lars Remodeling & Design can help you figure out the best type of countertop for your particular needs. Our designers have the experience and creativity to deliver perfect results for your remodeling project. To help you figure out which is the best type of countertops for your needs, we’ve broken down the comparison of man-made quartz vs natural granite countertops.
Here are some of the strengths you’ll find with man-made quartz countertops.
We should mention that if your quartz countertop will be installed in an area that receives a lot of natural sunlight, such as outdoors, it may fade over time.
Here are some of the strengths you’ll find with natural granite countertops.
One disadvantage of natural granite countertops is that they’re more brittle than quartz, which means installation can be tricky. You don’t want a bad installation to cause chipping, which is why you’ll want to count on experienced installers rely on here at Lars Remodeling. Additionally, granite countertops will show scratches and stains if you subject them to rough treatment.
