These minerals occur in different proportions, giving every slab its own color, texture and structural characteristics. Therefore, no two slabs of granite are alike and they offer a unique look and design in every piece. It is important to know seams are visible and depending on the color and grade of granite, sealants make the surface more resistant to staining, but granite surfaces are still much more likely to stain than a quartz count. It is best to seal the product annually to help prevent any staining.

Additionally, they are non-porous so you never need to seal the product or worry about any stains penetrating the surface. Quartz surfaces offer a more uniform color pattern than granite and wide range of colors that cannot be found in nature. Sinks must either be under-mounted or top-mounted and backsplashes must be set on.
