Quartz vs Granite
If you are not sure which type of countertop material is better for you, here is a brief comparison.
Materials:
Quartz is an engineered stone made from crushed quartz, resins, and pigments while granite is a natural stone formed from molten rock that is cooled underground.
Appearance:
Quartz has a variety of colours and patterns, including solid colours, imitations of natural stone, and unique swirls, whereas each slab of granite is unique with natural variations in colour and pattern.
Maintenance:
Quartz is very low maintenance, only requiring wiping with soap and water, but granite requires regular sealing to prevent staining in addition to daily cleaning with soap and water.
Durability:
Quartz is highly scratch- and stain-resistant, non-porous, and resistant to heat, while granite is scratch- and stain-resistant, but can etch with acidic substances.
Cost:
Quartz is usually more expensive than granite per square foot. The cost of granite varies depending on the type and colour, but generally, it is less expensive than quartz.

Quartz Maintenance Tips
Quartz countertops are pretty resilient, but a little TLC goes a long way in preserving their beauty and durability. Here are some tips:
Clean Spills ASAP:
Wipe up spills right away to prevent stains. Use a mild detergent or a mixture of water and vinegar for regular cleaning.
Avoid Harsh Cleaners:
Steer clear of harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners. Stick to mild soap and water for daily upkeep.
Use Cutting Boards:
While quartz is durable, using cutting boards for chopping protects both your knives and the countertop.
Heat Pads or Trivets:
Quartz can handle heat, but extreme temperatures may cause damage. It's safer to use heat pads or trivets for hot pots and pans.
Gentle Cleaning Tools:
Use soft cloths or sponges for cleaning. Avoid abrasive scrubbers that might scratch the surface.

Quartz Countertops Near Me: Cost Considerations
When thinking about the cost of "quartz countertops near me", here are some key points to consider:
Material Cost:
The price of the quartz itself varies based on quality, brand, and colour. Some premium options might be pricier than others.
Edge Profiles:
Custom edges or intricate designs on the countertop edges might increase the overall cost compared to standard edges.
Additional Features:
Extras like special finishes, customized shapes, or built-in sinks can bump up the price.
Warranty and Quality:
Better quality quartz often comes with a warranty, which might affect the upfront cost but offers peace of mind regarding its longevity.
Size and Thickness:
Larger countertops or thicker slabs generally cost more due to the increased material required and the potential for additional support.
