I asked myself the same question when I remodeled my kitchen. I decided to install a quartz countertop because it is more durable, resists bacteria, and doesnt require any maintenance like sealers or conditioners. The color pattern is also more consistent compared to Granite. I shopped around for months and I decided to go with Hanstone (www.hanstoneusa.com). The colors are just beautiful and the quality seemed much better than other quartz manufacturers. Definitely one of the best purchases I have made and I have never looked back since!

Quartz is the "in" element i comprehend yet granite is the greater useful deal. In my section it is gotten for an put in fee as low as $20 to $25 a sq. ft. and it desires no upkeep. it would be my decision whether it grew to become into greater than quartz. Been putting in my properties and remodels for 15 years and that i've got in no way had every person whinge approximately it. One piece of advice despite you get: stay far off from black and extremely dark hues. it is like black refrigerator in that think ofyou've have been given to scrub it a number of cases an afternoon.

I put in granite countertops and have been very happy. Some people here have also used Silestone which I think is part real material and part synthetic. Also, for my choise-absolute black- was best in the granite. Here in NC granite is the buzzword for countertops in real estate listings. Either material is pricey, Formica was much cheaper but it's passe. too bad.

Practically speaking quartz engineered stone is preferable for it's lack of maintenance, heat resistance, non-stainability, and uniform strength. For aesthetics, it's a toss up. For those that like randomness, granite is the only choice. I like a consistent pattern so I used Caesarstone in my home and am in the process of installing Zodiac in another property now.

I prefer Quartz as it is naturally antibacterial. But it is really just preference as they both look good and last well.
