What is the difference between a granite worktop & a quartz worktop?
Both types of stone worktop surfaces have their benefits. When it comes to a kitchen worktop surface, granite seems to the overall favourite. Granite is a natural stone and is highly durable. It is resistant to scratches and stains. It is more affordable then people think. It requires very little maintenance, though we do suggest that you reseal it once every two years. Quartz worktops are sometimes known as engineered stone or composite stone, however it is also very durable. The only issue with placing quartz worktops in your kitchen, is they are not as heat resistant and are susceptible to sun damage. Additionally, on seams caulk may be visible, which is not ideal for a variety of homeowners.
