Granite requires regular sealing to prevent staining and is susceptible to chipping or cracking from sharp impacts. Its natural porosity means spills can penetrate if not addressed quickly. The weight of granite also necessitates reinforced cabinetry.
The most common granite alternative is engineered quartz, often referred to as 'quartz countertops.' These are manufactured from natural quartz crystals combined with resins and pigments, offering a highly durable and consistent surface.
The price for a 10 ft granite countertop fluctuates based on the stone's specific type, rarity, and the intricacy of fabrication. Edge profiles, sink cutouts, and installation labor add to the overall cost. Contact us for a personalized phone quote.
