Quartz vs Granite: Which Is Better?
Neither is universally better. It depends on how you live. Twenty years of fitting both into Atlanta kitchens has narrowed it to this: if you don’t want to seal, choose quartz. If you set hot pots straight from the stove onto your counter, choose natural stone. About 60% of our clients pick quartz for the no-maintenance side. The other 40% lean toward natural stones, mostly granite and quartzite, for the character and heat tolerance. We’ve also noticed setting matters: clients building mountain cabins almost always choose natural stone because quartz can look too pristine for that environment. For a modern Atlanta kitchen, either works. Decide on maintenance tolerance first, then walk our showroom to see what speaks to you.
