Frequently Asked Questions
What is the difference between quartz, granite, and quartzite?
Quartz is engineered and non-porous; granite and quartzite are natural stones that need sealing. Quartzite is harder and more heat-resistant than most quartz.
Which countertop is the most low-maintenance?
Quartz. It is non-porous, never needs sealing, and resists stains and scratches.
Do natural stone countertops need sealing?
Yes. Granite and quartzite should be sealed periodically to resist stains; quartz and porcelain do not.
What countertop is most heat-resistant?
Granite, quartzite, and porcelain handle hot cookware best. Avoid placing very hot pans directly on quartz.
How thick should a countertop be?
2 cm and 3 cm are standard; 3 cm is the most popular for a substantial look without an added edge buildup.
Can countertops be used outdoors?
Porcelain and certain natural stones are UV-stable for outdoor kitchens; most engineered quartz is not.
