Quartz is a coloured manufactured material, sometimes referred to as solid surfacing. Given that it is man-made, there is always uniformity in the design of the product. What you see on a sample is exactly what you will get. This makes it a popular choice for creative kitchen designs that require seaming in the countertops, as seams are much easier to hide with quartz. It is made to mimic granite and is a high performing product – it’s harder than glass. The material is made up of approximately 90% quartz and 10% epoxy binder, unlike granite, which is 100% natural stone.

Granite Collections:
Granite is a natural material, coming from a large slab of stone that is extracted from the earth. This makes it a slightly more expensive option, but also an eco-friendly building material. It can range in colour from earth tones, to blues, greens and pinks. It will show natural variations in the slab because no two pieces will be exactly alike. Because of its natural striations in the stone, seams may be more evident if your kitchen design has any bends or curves that require cuts. Granite is naturally porous, and will need to be sealed once installed and will also require re-sealing over time.
