What Type Of Stone Is Best For Kitchen Countertops?
NEWS
BY MOLLY WILSON
Granite
Granite is a popular choice for countertops, as it comes in thousands of patterns, is affordable, and is very resistant to scratches, chipping, and general wear and tear.
Quartz
This engineered stone is very durable, comes in many colors, and is impervious to scratches, wear, and stains. However, it doesn't hold up as well to heat as natural stones.
Quartzite
Quartzite is a natural stone that comes in many patterns and is very durable in terms of scratches, chips, and heat. However, it will stain if not sealed regularly.
Marble
Marble is beloved in luxurious spaces for its natural beauty, but it needs frequent resealing so that it won't get stains and has generally low durability.
Dolomite
Dolomite is visually reminiscent of marble but a little more durable. It’s a good alternative if you like the look of marble, as it’s cheaper and not as easy to harm.
