Quartz vs. granite vs. quartzite countertops

Quartz

Engineered stone with a consistent pattern, from solid white to marble-look veining.

Quartz countertops

Heat

Use trivets. The resin can scorch under a hot pan.

Upkeep

No sealing. Soap and water.

Best for

Busy family kitchens that want low upkeep and a predictable look.

Granite and natural stone

Granite and other natural stone, so every slab is one of a kind. Pick the actual slab before it is cut.

Countertop questions

All questions
Which countertop is the most durable?

Quartzite and granite handle heat best. Quartz needs no sealing but should not take a hot pan directly. The comparison above shows the tradeoffs.

Do I get to pick my slab?

For natural stone, yes. Every slab is different, so you choose the actual one before it is cut.
