Are Granite Countertops Cheaper Than Quartz?
Granite and quartz countertops can vary in price depending on various factors, including the quality of the material, location, supplier, and other market conditions. However, quartz countertops tend to be slightly more expensive than granite countertops.
Quartz countertops are engineered stone surfaces made from a combination of natural quartz and resin. The manufacturing process and the use of high-quality materials often contribute to their higher cost compared to granite. Additionally, quartz countertops offer certain advantages over granite, such as being non-porous, more resistant to staining, and easier to maintain, which can contribute to their higher price.
On the other hand, granite countertops are natural stone surfaces cut from large blocks of granite. The availability of granite and the ease of extraction contribute to its relatively lower cost compared to quartz. However, it’s important to note that there are different grades and qualities of granite, which can affect its price. Rare or exotic granite varieties may be more expensive.
It’s worth mentioning that prices can vary greatly depending on the type of job, material chosen and amount of material needed. Different edges and profiles also change the cost. To get a more accurate estimate, it is recommended you get in contact with us to discuss your project and budget needs.
