When it comes to deciding which type of countertop is the best for your needs, granite is one of the most consistently popular choices out there. It is incredibly solid and strong and can take a great deal of punishment. It doesn’t stain easily and doesn’t hold watermarks. It’s hard to break it, scratch it or crack it, and it’s available in a wide variety of patterns and colors, from tan to gold to off-white to peach to gray to brown and blue. You are, however, limited to natural colors with granite. Granite also has to be sealed on a semi-regular basis to ensure that it stays solid and stable, and doesn’t lose its color.
Marble is another highly popular material for counters, and it just screams luxury. It is also sturdy and carries gorgeous patterns that will be completely unique to your countertop. It’s smooth and very easy to clean up since it’s not as porous as granite. However, it does tend to stain and can be very sensitive to acidic cleaners. Generally, it also needs a high-grade sealant.
Quartz is less common than granite or marble but may be the most stunning and unique choice you can make. It comes in just about any color you can imagine and is completely nonporous. It requires next to no upkeep and does not require sealant at all. It also tends to stay cool due to its composition, and won’t have as many variances as granite or marble. However, unlike the other two varieties, quartz is generally not 100% natural. It is made from crushed quartz combined with resin and dyes.
