Granite Vs. Quartz Countertops: What's Better?

Both granite and quartz are highly durable, sleek-looking counter surfaces, and many people spend hours and hours trying to figure out which surface to choose for their kitchen design. Granite countertops have a few key differentiating factors from quartz:

1. Granite features natural imperfections, as it's a natural stone and quartz is engineered.
2. Quartz is non-porous, but not granite. Granite needs to be sealed regularly.
3. Granite shows seams a bit more than quartz.
4. Granite tends to add a "wow" factor, while quartz acts more as a visual complement.
