different material options that are available.<br /> Stone products like granite and quartz are among the more popular materials used for counter tops due to their strength and durability. By comparing the features and benefits of granite and quartz, you'll be able to select the right material to meet your family's needs.<br /> <img src="/js/htmledit/kindeditor/attached/image/20170224/20170224175036_25426.png" alt="" /><br /> Manufacturing:<br /> <br /> <p> Granite is a natural product that is formed from minerals and stones. These materials are pressed together at extremely high pressure and temperatures deep within the earth, and eventually form granite stones as we know them. Quartz is a man-made product made from quartz crystals and resin. It is pressed, heated and colored to resemble natural stone, but is actually an engineered product. </p> <p> <br /> </p> <br /> Appearance:<br /> <br /> Granite tends to have much more variation in its appearance than quartz. <a href="http://www.bienstone.com/gp006-20mm-quartz-kitchen-countertops-quartz-vanity-tops_p93.html" target="_blank"><span style="color:#E53333;"><strong>Quartz van</strong></span><span style="color:#E53333;"><strong>ity tops</strong></span></a> are fairly uniform in color and pattern, while granite has random markings that are unique to each piece. Some buyers prefer the natural beauty of granite while others prefer the consistency of quartz. When it comes to counter tops, quartz sections are easier to match up at the seams, while granite can show variation due to its natural design.<br /> <br /> Features:<br /> <br /> Granite is naturally hard and strong, and offers a high level of heat resistance. Because quartz is engineered, it tends to be even harder and more durable than granite, though it offers a similar level of heat resistance. Granite is much more porous than quartz, which can trap bacteria within the surface. Quartz as solid surface countertop is much easier to keep free of germs and bacteria. While both materials are strong, quartz cannot be repaired if chipped or scratched. Damaged granite can often be repaired to minimize the appearance of scratches or damage.<br /> <br /> Maintenance:<br /> <br /> The porous nature of granite means that it is more difficult to keep clean, and is also more vulnerable to stains and spills. It must be sealed upon installation and at regular intervals, often once a year. Quartz is non-porous and requires no sealing. It is naturally resistant to moisture and stains and requires no maintenance.<br /> <br /> Price:<br /> <br /> According to the Bob Vila Home Improvement website, both granite and <a href="http://www.houzz.com/photos/kitchen-countertops/material_countertop--Quartz?m_refid=olm_google_762291767_39701585709_aud-81833642027:kwd-23906909224&pos=1t1&device=c&nw=g&matchtype=b&gclid=CI7P9c2Pr9ICFZBafgodSvoNrQ" target="_blank"><span style="color:#E53333;"><strong>quartz kitchen countertops</strong></span></a> cost between $50 and $100 per square foot installed. The difference in cost between the two is often a matter of your proximity to natural granite sources or stone yards.<br /></div> <ul class="blog_tag"> <li><i class="fa fa-tag"></i><a href="/blog/granite-vs-quartz-countertop_bk">Granite VS Quartz countertop</a></li> <li><i class="fa fa-tag"></i><a href="/blog/quartz-kitchen-countertops_bk">quartz kitchen countertops</a></li> <li><i class="fa fa-tag"></i><a href="/blog/solid-surface-countertop_bk">solid surface countertop</a></li> </ul> <ul class="page_turn"> <li><a href="/blog/pros-cons-of-quartz-countertops_b6" class="hvr-sweep-to-right"><i class="fa fa-arrow-left"></i>Previous Post</a></li> </ul> </div> </div> </div> </section> </header> </div> </main> </div> <div class="clear"></div> <div class="footer_nav clearfix"> <div class="foot_nav_main"> <ul> <li><a href="/">Home</a></li> <li><a href="/about-us_d1">About Us</a></li> <li><a href="/products">Products</a></li> <li><a href="/news_nc1">News</a></li> <li><a href="/contact-us_d2">Contact Us</a></li> <li><a href="/sitemap.html">Sitemap</a></li> <li><a href="/blog">Blog</a></li> <li><a href="/sitemap.xml">Xml</a></li> </ul> </div> </div> <div class="clear"></div> <div id="footer"> <ul class="container"> <li class="col-lg-3 col-md-3 col-sm-3 col-xs-12 foot_about">  <p>Established in November, 2000, ViviMarbles is a Sino-American joint venture Corporation.
