Granite vs Quartz vs Marble: Which Stone Is Right for Your Home
Choosing new countertops is one of the most exciting parts of designing your dream kitchen or bathroom. Granite, quartz, and marble are three of the most popular materials — each with its own strengths, maintenance needs, and style.
Granite
Granite is a natural stone quarried directly from the earth. No two slabs are ever the same, giving your space a unique, natural look. It’s heat resistant, more resistant to scratches than marble, and perfect for active households. Just remember to reseal it periodically to prevent stains.
Quartz
Quartz countertops are man-made using natural quartz crystals and resin. They deliver consistent color, modern patterns, and superior stain resistance. They’re non-porous and never need sealing — a great option for busy families.
Marble
Marble offers unmatched luxury with its distinctive veining. However, it’s softer and more porous than granite or quartz, meaning it can scratch or stain over time.

granite for durability and a natural look

quartz for easy maintenance and consistency
