Granite vs Marble Counters
Marble
- Marble is a classic, timeless beauty that will bring brightness to your home.
- It maintains a cool temperature, which makes it the perfect material to work with pastry.
- Marble is expensive, but you still have a great option called Carrara marble, which is the least expensive natural countertop.
- Unlike quartzite or granite, marble counters are widely available.
Granite
- Granite is a “renewable” resource, but it takes thousands of years to create. Granite countertops can last a lifetime and they do not contain harmful chemicals. If you’re looking for sustainability, then granite countertops are perfect for you.
- Granite is heat resistant. A granite counter will not melt or blister if ever exposed to heat.
- Very few minerals are able to scratch granite, as it scores a seven on Mohs scale of hardness.
Granite vs Quartz Counters
Granite
- Granite is a “renewable” resource as it takes thousands of years to create. Granite countertops can last a lifetime and they do not contain harmful chemicals. If you’re looking for sustainability then granite countertops are perfect for you, although there are more transportation cost associated with granit than with other synthetic materials.
- Granite is heat resistant. A granite counter will not melt or blister if ever exposed to heat.
- Very few minerals are able to scratch granite, as it scores a seven on Mohs scale of hardness. But it is a bit porous, so some oils and spills might do some damage in the long run.
Quartz
- Quartz is non-porous, thus, its durability is exceptional. Quartz counters are stain-resistant, so every spilled liquid, or substance, just needs to be quickly cleaned and everything’s alright.
- With quartz countertops, you don’t have to worry about impacts, this is a material that can absorb substantial impacts and exhibit greater durability to cracking compared to granite.
- Quartz is heat resistant, but not as much as granite. Extremely hot pans or materials can damage granite over time. Use heating pads.
